Killer tune. I love the economy of the lyrics and their imagery. That chorus is so haunting and infectious. Love the overall groove and feel.

Thanks!

Why thanks, Stackabones - took a visit to your YouTube channel - great songs!

I like a lot of things about this song. There is much to appreciate. I dig the footstep percussion and the breathy reverb on the vox. I listened to it twice.

Thank you!

Very Nice! Any chance of posting the lyrics/tabs/music? This song would be nice to add to my limited playlist.
Congrads for your selection as video of the week and Thanks.

Way cool vid.

Thanks again... and words/chords...

Thanks again guys - and for Koa (and anyone else) I include the words and chords below.

Actually, I'm a bit stunned and amazed, as the YouTube video has had more hits in three days than most of my vids have had in months or nearly a year - thanks to a great extent to Ukulele Underground! I'm so in your debt...

It's ironic, in a way, as although I had the main phrase and a few airy chords hanging around, the thing only really came together and got recorded a week ago last Saturday when a friend in the UK was complaining about the depressing seasonal weather, so I thought I'd try and send a little "sonic sunshine" in an MP3...

Anyway, thanks again, and here are the words and chords:

VERSE:
C/// C/// C/// C///

CHORUS:
Em/// Em/// Dm/// Dm///
C/// C/// C/// C///
Em/// Em/// Dm/// Dm///
C/// C/// C/// C///

Eb dim 7 /// Eb dim 7 /// Dm7/// G7///
C/// C/// C/// C///


Island Of Alone

I’ll take the helm
Steer by the stars
You fill the sails
Singing along
Shoals of seashells
On the sand

And we play on the island of Alone
And we play on the island of Alone
And we play on the island
In the shallows of Alone

Walk on the beach
Feet in the sand
Waves from the sea
Seeking the land
Dolphins leaping
Out of love

And we play on the island of Alone
And we play on the island of Alone
And we play on the island
In the shallows of Alone

Much appreciated. Thanks for sharing.
