Story Behind The Song
This song was inspired by a trip I took to the Caribbean in the summer of 2017. It's about a vacationer fantasizing about going to an island for a vacation and never leaving.
Song Description
This is a mellow female-vocal pop song, featuring electric guitar, upright bass, marimba, strings and bells. It is smooth flowing and very relaxing. It puts you on the beach in the Caribbean without a worry in the world.

Lyrics
Off on an island, sittin' on a beach, takin' a break I'm out of reach, there's no cell phone and no wi-fi, nothing to take my peace of mind and...
I'll watch the waves from a cozy little cave, set me up a big umbrella, plant me in the shade...
Off on an island, takin' in a breeze, people around are so at ease, there's no big plans, or no timelines, lost in the moment for a while...
Chorus 1
I may never leave, I think I've found the life that's right for me, I can sell off all my things and be, resident in paradise...
Off on an island sippin' on a drink, tasting a life that's super sweet, a boat goes by, a surfer tries, people around just watch the tide and...
I'll call the day, when the night takes over day, I intend to soak the rays in, watch me fade away...
Chorus 2
I may never leave, I think I've found the life that's right for me, I can sell off all my things and be, resident in paradise...
I don't wanna leave, I think I've found the life of all my dreams, I can give away my things and be, resident in paradise...
On and island, I fit right in, here I have nothing to worry, Island flows, into my soul, and here I feel at home...
I'll watch the waves from a cozy little cave, set me up a big umbrella, plant me in the shade...
Repeat Chorus 2
Off on an isle in the deep blue sea, deep blue sea, deep blue sea
Off on an isle in the deep blue sea, deep blue sea...
Repeat Chorus 2
Living in paradise, nothing beats living in paradise
