Six (D5)years I’ve been in the ci ty

For I come from the salt wa ter peo ple,
we al ways (G5)live
by the sea.
Now I’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 I’m stand ing
in a boat,
on the sea a gain
and I’m (Bm)hold ing that long tur tle spear
and I feel I’m close now
to where it must be.
My is land home

About “My Island Home”
- Is the engraved accompaniment score for "My Island Home" suitable for a pianist?
- Yes — both hands are notated in classic piano notation (treble + bass clefs, key D, real chord symbols), engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML. A staff pianist or accompanist can read this directly from the screen or printed PDF and play the backing while you sing the melody.
- 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 — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
- Can I sing over "My Island Home" with this accompaniment?
- Yes — 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 — 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 — 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"?
- Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
- Who wrote "My Island Home"?
- "My Island Home" was originally performed by Christine Anu. This piano accompaniment is an arrangement of that song, designed for sing-along and play-along use.
- What is this accompaniment Sheet Music view?
- Same engraver-grade rendering as the standard Sheet Music mode — both hands, classic piano notation, key of D, real chord symbols — but the audio is the karaoke / backing-track arrangement of "My Island Home" with the lead melody removed. Perfect for singers, lead instruments, and ensemble practice.
- Can I sing or play melody while the score follows along?
- Yes. The backing track removes the melody so you can sing or play it on top while the chord changes and rhythm guide you. The engraved score scrolls in time with the audio so you never lose your place.
- Is this the same notation a piano book would show?
- Yes — treble + bass clefs, key signature, time signature, beams, dynamics, and chord symbols above the staff, all rendered from the original publisher MusicXML. Identical reading experience to a printed piano accompaniment book.
