Radio Paradise (mobile)

I'm an island
Everyone can see that I'm an island
I've got ocean just about
Everywhere that I can see
So I'll be stranded unless you come to me
And I'm lonely
I would rather fall from grace completely, than let you change my mind
I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun
Can't be too careful
About the friends you keep around you
Some won't ever let you down
Some who'll fail you every day
And it's a blatant disrespect of privacy
It enrages me
I would rather fall from grace completely, than let you change my mind
I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun
I'm an island
Can't you understand me? I'm an island
And I'm finally by myself
The way I've got to be
Now that's exactly the thing that's been killing me
I would rather fall from grace completely, than let you change my mind
I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun

lbaltz Nov 13, 2009 - 08:01	I saw him and his band in a very small venue in 2002 touring to support this record, they were quite good and he very likeable. He just produced a record of new takes of his mother's (Carly Simon) hits with her that is pretty interesting. Just remebered, his cover of "Time of the Season" from this CD is very cool. [ Reply ]
Queue Nov 13, 2009 - 07:59	He is the son of James Taylor and Carly Simon. His sister, Sally Taylor, is also a musician. That's a pretty nice vocal gene pool. I wonder if Sally sounds like Carly? [ Reply ]

Row. You hoe rows. Garden rows. Not roads. That would be rather silly. Can't say the song is doing anything for me but it's not offensive either. A lite rock 6. [ Reply ]

WOW...havent heard that album name from anyone I can recall..........one of JTs forgotten......I always liked "Someone" and "Nobody But You" off that album. Thanks for the memory.. [ Reply ]
window Jun 08, 2009 - 08:12	No doubt that he sounds like his dad. Given that, he inherited quite a fine voice! I wish I had a golden throat like that. Look at it this way - at least his wasn't the son of Gilbert Gottfried! [ Reply ]

I was thinking about how interesting it is that his voice is so close to his dad's. Funny how we always think of kids taking after their parents' looks, but I never thought about the same thing carrying over to the voice. Makes sense I suppose. I wonder if there's been a scientific study? [ Reply ]
