A Composer’s Sketchbook | The 1970s Track 5 | Island Song

This cheery little melody (which includes a few notable hooks) felt to me like a beach on a Pacific island – no job, no problems, no worries.

Imagine that after the first stanza repeats twice, a heavy beat as the drums kick in along with a strong rhythmic bass. I can hear cheering people in the track, perhaps bright trumpets and perhaps even a ballsy flute. Love to hear it that way, I would….

Written and recorded in the early 1970s
