HIVE OPEN MIC 151 / Islands In The Stream Cover

We're all just islands in the stream, and we get to choose where we want to go. While chaos surrounds us, we have the option of either holding firm and upholding human virtues such as faith, hope, and love or we let go of what makes us human and allowing ourselves to be swept away by the surging flood that carries troubles with it...

"Islands in the Stream" is a beautiful song that was famously covered by country singers Dolly Parton and the late Kenny Rogers. The song was composed by the members of the Bee Gees.

Meghan Trainor and Brett Eldredge ( Yup, that’s him, the one I forgot to mention in my video ) nailed it beautifully. They blended well together, didn’t they? Both a charmer too.

Lyrics

Baby, when I met you there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb
I was soft inside
There was something going on

You do something to me that I can't explain
Hold me closer and I feel no pain
Every beat of my heart
We got something going on

Tender love is blind
It requires a dedication
All this love we feel needs no conversation
We ride it together, ah ha
Making love with each other, ah ha

Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong?
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, ah ha
From one lover to another, ah ha

I can't live without you if the love was gone
Everything is nothing if you got no one
And you did walk in the night
Slowly losing sight of the real thing

But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the message is clear
This could be the year for the real thing

No more will you cry
Baby, I will hurt you never
We start and end as one
In love forever
We can ride it together, ah ha
Making love with each other, ah ha

Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong?
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, ah ha
From one lover to another, ah ha
