Member video of the week 1/19/09
Posted January 19th, 2009
This week’s MVOW comes from the very talented ColinB (Barley C on YouTube) and his original song “Island of alone”
This song reminds us about the simple side of ukulele and even gave us a visual with pictures of sand, beach, and shells. We can almost FEEL like we’re in the “island of alone”
Ukulele definitely at its finest.
Sorry this one was a little late. There’s no excuse for it, it was late, my bad (Aldrine) but hey it’s still Monday! Better late than early… no wait… how does that go again?
So let’s all rock out like 5-o-clock time means pop-n-lock time and our ukulele is our dance partner. Till next time you ukulele heroes!

Beautiful little song.
Any chance of chords and lyrics?
Sorry – only just saw the comment! Words and chords as follows:
Island Of Alone
I’ll take the helm
Steer by the stars
You fill the sails
Singing along
Shoals of seashells
On the sand
And we play on the island of Alone
And we play on the island of Alone
And we play on the island
In the shallows of Alone
Walk on the beach
Feet in the sand
Waves from the sea
Seeking the land
Dolphins leaping
Out of love
And we play on the island of Alone
And we play on the island of Alone
And we play on the island
In the shallows of Alone
VERSE:
