Lyrics

WELL THERE SEEMS TO BE A WHOLE LOT GOING ON
I'M CONFIDENT NOT TOO MUCH WILL GO WRONG YEAH
BUT MY PREFERED STATE IS ON THE BEACH YEAH
LYING LOOKING BACK AT LIFE AND SAILING OUT OF REACH

WELL LYING ON AN ISLAND IN THE SUN
YEAH, LYING ON AN ISLAND IN THE SUN
SO HAPPY IN MY FOOL'S PARADISE
WELL, I'M CONTENT TO SIT HERE AND JUST LET LIFE PASS ME BY

THE WAY LIFE IS IT USED TO BRING ME DOWN
EVERYTHING I SAW WHEN I LOOKED ROUND, YEAH YEAH
BUT I'VE STILL GOT SO MANY THINGS TO DO
WELL, I SOMETIMES WISH WE ALL COULD HAVE OUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO

WELL LYING ON AN ISLAND IN THE SUN
YEAH, LYING ON AN ISLAND IN THE SUN
SO HAPPY IN MY FOOL'S PARADISE
WELL, I'M CONTENT TO SIT HERE AND JUST LET LIFE PASS ME BY

Song Production Information

Mutsuhiko Izumi

It's an original song written by Brad Holmes, a well-known vocalist on GFdm, who sang "USED TO ROCK'N ROLL", "PARTY HARD", "SUMMER SUN", "BORN TO BE WILD", "HIGHWAY STAR", "STILL OF THE NIGHT", and more!

Actually, he is both a drummer and a guitarist. It's amazing.
Listening to this song makes me want to relax somewhere on a southern island.
It's so soothing.

Hello, mito here.
I was in charge of porting the movie to the game console.
It has a great impact, doesn't it?
Once you see it, you will never forget it.
If there was an island like this, I would want to go there once, right?
Right?
Right?
It might be a little scary.
