No wonder I can't find the actual song anywhere on the Internet! It was never released. Did someone write the song for the show? It's too good of a song to just keep it on the show! Someone needs to release this beauty! So glad we at least have this version to remind us of season 12 episode 8 of Death in Paradise... My favorite show!
So, it DOES sound like Christelle Elwin is singing (I see a video of her singing a different song from 9yrs ago, same voice). BUT, this song is nowhere as yet.
I watched the end of the DIP episode multiple times to listen to this song. It is beautiful. Like some if the folks who commented below, I would love to find a copy of this song with vocals. Until then, I have saved your version under my instrumentals file and have played it over and over again. Thank you so much for sharing.
3/15/24 ... Be creative & think outside the box. Now's the time to let your talent shine! This excellent rendition is perfect for you to do a little Saint Marie island karaoke. 🌞 🎤🎤 🎙🎙 🎼 🎵 🎶 🍍 🍹 🍸 🏝 👙
This is a fantastic song... it is wonderfully soulful....it has universal appeal to those with a broken heart, and offers small glimmers of hope to those who are young enough to buck up, and carry on. Musically, the song is soft, and soothing---reminiscent of waves lapping against the shore. It reminds me of Jimmy Buffet's "please don't say manana" chorus-wise. The lead vocals and chorus vocals are off the charts enchanting. Thank you Angela for giving us something to hold onto!
What a wonderful tune. I'm after watching DIP and like everyone else I was blown away with this song. I hope someone has recorded it. Would buy it in a flash . Thank you Angela for your talent
Love this song and your cover of it is fantastic Watch the Death in Paradise episode just to hear this song. I found your video trying to find out who wrote and performed this song Thank you
Yep it's a lovely melody, which the lyrics (in the show) really complement. I couldn't find a copy of the lyrics but it's possible, with the iPlayer and some determination, to piece together most of the lyrics.
RELEASE THE VOCAL sang on Death in Paradise series, Season 12, Episode 8. It's worth millions of $$$ & MILLIONS WANT THE VOCAL. Come on BBC, RELEASE IT for Christmas 2024...Thx..

@@leonstijns1857 Wonderful! And I may be able to get the chords (sometime soon - I tend to forget to do things but I'm pretty good at sussing out chords) 🙂
This is a song, that was originally written by the father of Babette's daughter. He wrote the song for her because he was in love with her. He regretted letting her go. And so she ended up singing the song. It is a beautiful song, and she has a beautiful voice. Everyone that watches Death In Paradise loves this song.
Hi folks.....this is my attempt to figure out the words to this song using a sound editing program I have. Your help is needed, so have at it, please! Verse Bright as a flower I can see you in my mind …. Was all our love just an illusion? ….. Birds high above me …. Throw their shadows on the shore …. Oh, won't you fly my pain away? …. Chorus When all my thoughts are screaming far away, a petal (pebble) on the sea… My life is open wide to any possibility… Oh, I should have never let you go…. So why did I ever let you go? Verse Walk in the sunshine…. but my empty heart still breaks… I hear your laughter in the blue waves…. Chorus I know my island sees the birds fly….Above the rolling ocean…. I walk along the streams at nights, and I’m on the last boat home …. Oh, I should have never let you go…. So why did I ever let you go? Chorus I know my island dreams upon the shore…a heart is plainly broken… I walk along the streams at night, and I’m on the last boat home …. {I walk along the streams at night, and I’m on the last boat home} Oh, I should have never let you go……so why did I ever let you go? Chorus I know my island sees the birds fly….Above the rolling ocean…. I walk along the streams at night, and I’m on the last boat home …. Oh, I should have never let you go…. So why did I ever let you go? And now that my island seems the brightest sun….for where all the streams flow (This is mostly a guess….)

3/15/24 I recorded the song my phone & after several tries, it came out decent enough to listen to on a regular basis. 😁 It will have to do until "someone" finally wakes up & releases this great song on legit music forms.
Hallo zusammen Eigentlich müsste man die Produzenten und oder das Filmstudio kontaktieren damit sie mitbekommen das dieses Lied so sehr gesucht und gewünscht wird Und wer weis vielleicht gibts es ja eine Chance das sie es veröffentlichen
Did the British actress Jacqueline Boatswain who played the role of Babette François in this episode sing the song or was it lip synched? Inquiring minds want to know.
@@AngelaTurnerJohnsonAJ20 It looks like she did sing this song. I found a tweet from Magnus Fiennes (brother of Ralph Fiennes) dated Feb. 24 stating, "Tune into BBC 1 9pm tonight to catch the final episode of this season of @deathinparadise in which the super-talented @christelleelwin and @JacquiBoats inject pure heart and soul when they sing 'Let You Go' Calypso style- a song penned by @punkproffessor , Andy Caine and myself."
Has anyone found lyrics? I was amazed I found this video. I can get the chords from listening to it but I only have the lyrics at the beginning of the episode...
@@robertogarcia2867 Creo que esta es una canción original producida por Magnus Fiennes y sus socios para Death in Paradise. Magnus es uno de los dos directores musicales utilizados por este programa de televisión.
Not sure where to start on this one, I learnt it from the TV. We think it’s called This island, it’s a gorgeous tune but with not having all the information I don’t think you’d be allowed to load it up onto downloads.
I would guess that's true for most music, but i caught the end of the episode and I felt the same. It had the Cowboy Junkies sound for me. Don't have a good ear for this but it seems to resonate with Cowboy Junkies - "Mariner's Song"
I see I'm not the only one looking for this song. I fell in love with it from the first time i heard it
It’s such a lovely song, I thought many would have had a go at it.🎶
Me too it's driven me mad we need vocals
Me too
Me too.
I love this and I am looking for the song with the words. I have searched. Anyone?
WOW!!! This is so beautiful! Thank you so much for doing this :) Petition for the BBC to actually release this song!
Good idea.👍
Yeah I mean was it written just for the show or what?
@superfreakmusic7681
We don’t know unfortunately.🎶

The actress/singer who performed it during the opening scene was PHENOMENAL. I'm sad i can't buy it.
So, it DOES sound like Christelle Elwin is singing (I see a video of her singing a different song from 9yrs ago, same voice). BUT, this song is nowhere as yet.
@theJuniverse I emphatically agree!! Nina Simone in the Carribean... I too long for a release with her singing it❤
Thank you, Angela, for covering this beautiful song. Sounds great as an instrumental and would be nice to listen to a vocal version. Well done!

You’re more than welcome, hopefully they’ll release a Album with DIP songs and music.
Im so surprised no one's made one with vocals-or at least cut and spliced the version from the DiP episode
Love it wish I could get a recording of it being sung !!
Me to
Watch the episode and write them down is the only way I think. Good luck 👍

I’ve looked for this song so many times. Hopefully someone will come out with it soon.❤
Brilliant, have just finished watching all 107 episodes of Death in Paradise on BBC iPlayer.
So beautiful! Thanks for sharing ! I love this song so much, but can't find the lyrics or chords.
