Lyrics:
MY ISLAND LIFE
Under my mango tree
No place I’d rather be
I love it (I love it)
Doing as I please
Living a life of ease
I love it (I love it)
I’m lucky – and I know it too
So lucky – to be here with you
I love my island life
Sweet as cream on Key Lime pie
Another day in Paradise
I love my island life (I love it)
I love my island life
The ocean’s warm embrace
Big smile on my face
I love it (I love it)
Diamonds on the sea
You lying next to me
I love it (I love it)
I’m lucky – and I know it too
So lucky – to be here with you
I love my island life
Sweet as cream on Key Lime pie
Another day in Paradise
I love my island life (I love it)
I love my island life
Now it’s almost time to go
I’ll take off my island clothes
Shake the sand off from my toes
But never from my soul
I love my island life
Sweet as cream on Key Lime pie
Another day in Paradise
I love my island life (I love it)
I love my island life (I love it)
I love my island life
About:
George Collins is a transatlantic storyteller based in Prague and Key West.
His writing brings soulful flair to the worlds of rock music, novels, and television!
In his first music career, it has been joked that Collins was in the Dave Matthews Band before Dave Matthews. Back then, he played lead guitar in Common Knowledge, a Charlottesville, Virginia-based, Earth, Wind & Fire-esque band featuring DMB founding members, drummer and backing vocalist Carter Beauford, and the late saxophonist LeRoi Moore. Eventually, Collins evolved into a singer-songwriter, and he put himself through graduate school performing three nights a week in local clubs.
In 2012, at the age of 50, now based in Prague, Czech Republic, Collins had his first child, and he made the fateful decision to bow out of his very lucrative 20-year career as an investment consultant and financial executive to nurture his creative world and be a dedicated full-time parent. He jokes that he now works in the “non-profit” sector as an indie musician, writer, and stay-at-home dad. He and his wife welcomed their second child in 2015, just weeks shy of his fifty-fourth birthday.
Fast forward to 2022, when Collins released his critically-acclaimed debut solo EP, It’s Been a Long Time, which has since earned an international fanbase. In 2024, Collins released his sophomore EP, Songs for Grown-ups, which bursts with gratitude, critical introspection, and more hooks than a tackle box.
These days Collins is working harder than ever, performing consistently around Prague and Key West and readying his fourth release, which will be a full-length album titled New Ways of Getting Old. Contemplating his life’s journey and where he’s at now, he says: “Sometimes people say to me ‘Are you enjoying your retirement hobby?’ I always say, ‘Hobby?’ I‘m working harder than I did as a partner in my investment firm, but I feel this is what I am called to do and it’s an honor and a privilege to finally get to do it.”
