Island

©2012 Robert Randall Burke


Island don't care if you're wealthy or pretty
Island is easy
Not hard, like the city
Ain't no more worry, no hurry
We're on our way home
And from this island I never will roam
Not from this island I never will roam
And from this island I never will roam.


Island will give you her fish from the sea
Island will give you the fruit from her tree
Ain't no more cryin', we're tryin'
To make it back home
And from this island I never will roam
Not from this island I never will roam
And from my island I never will roam.

Palm trees swayin'
And dolphins playin'
At my front door
Got no money
But ain't it funny
Couldn't ask for more.

Island don't care if you're wealthy or pretty
Island is easy
Not hard, like the city
Ain't no more worry, no hurry
We're sailin' back home
And from this island I never will roam
Not from this island I never will roam
And from my island I never will roam.

That's the kind of song we need at this time of year.
I like the idea with the wind and waves.
Good voice.

In mid 60's had assignments 5 consecutive years, about 2-4 months each
summer compliments of the military.

Getting away from the tourist traps, and seeing and meeting folks on two
different "Islands" was the real treat of being there.

Your music, lyrics, vocals with its laid back style fits my memories to a tee.

Missing the Mai Tai's tho.... Naw, not anymore, outgrew that.

Thank you for sharing you hard work and music!

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
