Subject: LYR REQ: Island of My Desire From: GUEST,JR Date: 31 Mar 12 - 06:37 PM I've been looking for a copy of the song "Island of My Desire"; can't find it anywhere -- not even a version on YouTube. Could anyone tell me where I could find the sheet music or a recording? Or the title of the elementary school songbook that contains it? Many thanks! |

Subject: RE: ADD: Island of my Desire From: GUEST,Kimberley Linder’s gmail.com Date: 05 Jul 21 - 10:30 PM You nailed it! I love this song. I sang it 50 years ago at Bluebird camp, then again again at YMCA canoe camp. It works for every blessed lake sunset, in any country or state.It’s a Native South Pacific Islander song which pulls at everyone’s heartstrings. We all long fir home.. Thank you, |
Subject: RE: ADD: Land of Heart's Desire From: Felipa Date: 07 Jul 21 - 04:47 PM This song seems similar to me LAND O' HEART'S DESIRE Marjorie Kennedy-Fraser Land o' Heart's Desire, Isle of Youth, Dear Western Isle, Gleaming in sunlight! Land o' Heart's Desire Isle of Youth! Far the cloudless sky Stretchs blue Across the Isle, Green in sunlight, Far the cloudless sky Stretches blue. There shall thou and I Wander free, On sheen-white sands, Dreaming in starlight, Land o' Heart's Desire Isle of Youth. I knew the title of this song, and did a search for the lyrics, which I quickly found at http://www.alansim.com/scohtml/sco154.html That page says that this song is set to a traditional melody from North Uist. Sung by Calum Kennedy sung by Kenneth McKellar |
