I posted a version of this tune a couple of weeks ago that many of you were kind enough to listen to and comment on.
This is a reworked version with a vocal. The words were written by my mother in law, who passed away a few years ago. She liked to write poetry and the other day I was cleaning out my office at home and found a copy of one of her poems I'd cut from a local newspaper who had published it a couple of years before she died. I couldn't find a vocal melody for it so I ended up just reading it.
Island Bay was the suburb we used to live in - so called because it was a coastal suburb built around a bay that's got an island in the middle of it.
Anyway I'm interested in any feedback on how the words sit with the rest of the tune, or if they fit at all. Or anything else you care to comment on..
