Lyrics

Six (D5)years Iโ€™ve been in the ci ty

and ev โ€™ry night

I dream of the sea.

They say home

is where you find it,

will this place

ev er sat is fy (D5)me?

For I come from the salt wa ter peo ple,

we al ways (G5)live

by the sea.

Now Iโ€™m down here, liv ing in the ci ty

with my man

and a fa mi ly.

My is land home,

my is land home,

my is land home

is wait ing for me.

My is land home,

my is land home,

my is land home

is wait ing for me.

In the eve ning a dry wind blows

from the hills

and a cross the plains.

I (Bm)close my eyes and Iโ€™m stand ing

in a boat,

on the sea a gain

and Iโ€™m (Bm)hold ing that long tur tle spear

and I feel Iโ€™m close now

to where it must be.

My is land home

is wait ing for me.

A ha,

a ha,

a ha,

a ha,

a ha,

a ha,

a ha,

a ha,

a ha,

a ha,

a ha,

a ha,

a ha.

For I

is wait ing for me.

My is land home,

my is land home,

my is land home

is wait ing for me.

My is land home,

my is land home,

my is land home

is wait ing for me.

My is land home,

my is land home,

my is land home,

my is land home.

About โ€œMy Island Homeโ€

Why does the accompaniment for "My Island Home" show falling notes?
Falling Notes makes each chord visual โ€” colored notes drop onto the keyboard so you can FEEL the rhythm of the backing before each entry. Singers find it easier to lock in with the piano's groove when they see the chord notes land instead of just hearing them.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "My Island Home" by Christine Anu in?
The backing track is in D at 82 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones โ€” the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "My Island Home" with this accompaniment?
Yes โ€” that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "My Island Home"?
Effectively yes โ€” it's the piano-only backing for "My Island Home", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "My Island Home" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work โ€” the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
Can I download the accompaniment for "My Island Home"?

Same audio backing โ€” different visualization. Falling notes show each chord note dropping in real time (like Synthesia), which makes the chord rhythm easier to feel. Use whichever view helps you stay on the beat.
