about

In the many years (16) that André and I have been together, we have seen a lot of relationships come and go around us. We know we are lucky. Everyday we know.
When it came time to record the vocals on this, we needed just the right male singer for the part. We asked Glen Phillips from Toad The Wet Sprocket, and he so kindly agreed.

lyrics

ISLAND – words and music by Noëlle Hampton

The sands could blow away
A wave could hit today
But it’s way down deep- what holds us up

The storms just passed us by
And somehow we survived another crazy night

We are an island, island
Nothing can touch us way out here
And all around us love’s disasters
Are ships that fade then disappear

My friends keep giving up
And sink when water’s rough
But don’t fear, don’t fear, love will shine again

You’ll know it when it comes
The warmth of real sun
Can’t fool even the heartbroken one

We are an island, island
Nothing can touch us way out here
And all around us love’s disasters
Are ships that fade then disappear

So hold on tight through weather and through war
Sometimes what’s right is to love each other more
In times of anger
in times when you can’t find the strength to be together

We are an island,
We are an island
Island, Island
Nothing can touch us way out here
And all around us love’s disasters
Are ships that fade then disappear
