I WANT TO LIVE IN PARADISE  
https://www.reverbnation.com/kaynemusic/song/33346344-live-in-paradiseHave you ever just wished you can escape to a tropical island, and live in Paradise. I used to work in New York City, mass of people, crowded streets, buses, trains ... that's the inspiration for this Song. I used a Reggie Groove, and wanted it sound loose and live. As if it was being played at night around the fire, on a Jamaican Beach. I want to live in paradise / take the money and run Watch the seagulls in the morning tide / And feel the raising sun I want to play in a Reggie band / Dance the night away I want to live in paradise / watch the palm trees sway I want to wake up in paradise / Rum drink in my hand I want to climb a coconut tree / Walk barefoot in the sand I want to feel the oceans breeze / Gently rock me to sleep On a hammock in paradise / find a place that’s free Don’t want to work in a suit and tie Or commute on a crowed train Don’t want to shovel snow no mo Or be that guy that complains I don’t want to work at a desk no more Don’t want to get out of bed I just want to dream of paradise A place to lay my head I want to live in paradise where blue water runs deep I want to swim in the morning tide and sleep in the afternoon heat I want to eat organically and grow my own food To live and play in paradise and feel soul renewed I don’t want to slave for mortgage wage or have to hear the boss Don’t want to do what they tell me to do or bear a heavy cross Don’t want to be that guy you see so sad to be alive Just want to dream of Paradise and live more than survive I want to live in paradise and live more than survive

Elliott.
I know the feeling. I lived and worked in London for 20 odd years.
I felt hemmed in and any chance I got I was out into the countryside.
Now I live in a very rural spot. Not tropical but it's a step up.
Nice, sunny, happy sounding song.
If I was forced to nitpick, the bass sounds a little loud but that could be just my own preference.
All the best,
Vic

A neat song. I really like the reggae feel that you've captured. Yes, living in paradise would be OK for sure.

Nice. Steel drums always make me smile and send me to the islands. Love your vocals. Soaring big finish. Any BiaB in here?
NYC is a nice place to visit, BUT...

Elliot, This sounds great. Takes me way back to when I was in my twenties leaving Chicago to go to Negril for 6 months to help some friends build a house. I like the lyrics and very much enjoyed the song.

Elliot,
Sounds good. Nicely produced and mix.
The bass is especially nice.
How were the steel drums played?
Tight harmonies.

Hi Elliot,
I'm always a sucker for a good Caribbean song. And this one is so good. The vocals are sweet!
Everything is in its place and blend well together. Nice vocal!

Elliott, this is a fantastic song
Definitely a Jimmy Buffett vibe, and that's a compliment
Outstanding vocal, lyrics, backing tracks, and mix.
Loved it.
PS it made me want to go and get a bottle of rum!

Copy all that’s been said…there’s lots of repetition here, melodically—-that is exactly appropriate for getting the Caribbean feel, so well done by not making it over complicated. Lyric lines were clever, all emphasizing the main idea, lots of metaphors and direct examples of paradise vs hell(?). Enjoyed my visit to the islands!

The title immediately took me to the Carribean, and, man, what a great tune to get us there. Everything in this is top-notch and each piece give the whole a special lift. COol bridge. Love the vocals as always. Yes, we're dancing around that fire of the beach --the song demands it. Paradise, like waking up on the beach and seeing Jimmy Buffett tuning your guitar.

I'm a sucker for Reggae (don't worry, I spell it wrong half the time too), so I like your song. A lot. Makes me feel better right away. And I want one of those drinks with a little umbrella in it now
