Notice
Quite a pop feeling to this song ... there was a very
good reddition of the solo spot (alone) previously
posted which I have re-used this version.
Not sure what to tab next ... Kree Nakoorie or too
young to die, too drunk to live ? any preference
anyone ?
Comments from Wes Craven: ISLAND IN THE SUN
[3.54] The opening track is very commercial sounding
with prominent keyboards and restrained playing from
Malmsteen. In fact it wouldn't have sounded out
of place on Rainbow's 'Down To Earth'. The feel is
similar to that of Bon Jovi's 'Runaway' but the lyrics are
slightly more up-beat. The solo is brief and fits the track
well and overall a solid opener.
They named it the rock,
Land of the living dead
A repose for the rich and famous
And all the infamous would
Tell each other's lies
Why did they want to tell the truth
Sail away On an island in the sun
Sail away Cool pacific winds blow
Most were poets and they wrote
In basic prose
On the walls of their sunset boulevard
In their nine by five foot rooms became
inspired
By the silence in sight of the city
Sail away On an island in the sun
Sail away Cool pacific winds blow
Sail away Just across the bay
Sail away Battered by the waves, whoah
(Solo)
Sail away
On an island in the sun
Sail away
Cool pacific winds blow
Sail away
Just across the bay
Sail away
Battered by the waves, whoah
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away
On an island in the sun
Sail away
Cool pacific winds blow
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away
On an island in the sun
Sail away
Cool pacific winds blow
