    Name: These Islands
    Artist: Danny Couch
    Album: Almost Paradise
    Full lyrics:
    Have you seen "These Islands"?
    Have you seen the beauty of this land?
    Do you know it's people,
    Brothers, sisters walking hand in hand?
    Have you seen the ocean?
    Miles and miles of crystal deep blue seas?
    Can you smell the flowers
    Fill the air with fragrances for free?
    This is Aloha
    This is Aloha,
    This is Aloha
    This land of Hawaii...
    Have you felt the power,
    mountain craters throwing lava in the air?
    Or it's green swept beauty,
    from each island blossoms everywhere.
    Have you felt it's spirit,
    Ancient God's, their mana still lives here.
    You will love "These Islands",
    Nothing in the world can compare...
    This is Aloha
    This is Aloha,
    This is Aloha
    This land of Hawaii...
    Have you felt the power,
    Mountain craters throwing lava in the air,
    Or it's green swept beauty,
    From each island blossoms everywhere,
    Have you found its spirit,
    Ancient Gods their mana still lives here.
    Colored rainbows stretch across the sky, waterfalls so high,
    Mountains make you cry,
    You will love these islands, nothing in the world can compare.
    If you touch the spirit, then the gift of Love will lead you here.
    This is Aloha, This Is Aloha, This is Aloha
    This land of Hawaii.
    Have you seen
    "These Islands?"

    I had to curve how many times I played this song by Danny Couch as it made me homesick and always gave me a longing for Hawai'i nei. Now I never have to leave "These Islands". It has, is and always will be "Another Day in Paradise".

      I can definitely relate to this, I miss my Hawaiian home everyday too. Hawai'i is such a special place and will always hold a place in my heart. My hubby promised we will move back someday.

    I first heard this song on Kauai as I was driving down the road. It gave me a huge lump in my throat as I watched the mist-shrouded mountains come into view. Danny Couch does the best version of this song, by far! Bravo!

    These Islands was a tribute written for the mother of Danny Couch. I don't know the whole story of this song but I know it was written in a short time before her passing. It's so amazing how something so beautiful can be created out of something so tragic.

    My first introduction to Danny Couch. Wonderful voice. Wonderful melody. Wonderful lyrics. I just returned from Maui, and have spent several weeks in Kauai also. And Yes,like me, you will love these islands. Magic, spiritual legacy, promise, paradise..... we can all have this all over the planet in some way if we choose to. It takes work to make a world like these islands but we can do it, one person, one day at a time. We are the ones we have been waiting for. Take the first step......

    "Have you felt it's spirit, ancient Gods, their mana still is here".......from the heart and soul. How many feel the real power of these islands? Take a moment to stop and FEEL the aina that you walk upon. Malama aina.

    Recently went to Kauai and went to a luau. They started with this song and I fell in love with it. So beautiful it brings me to tears and gives me chills. They danced beautifully to it also. So happy I got it on my camera so I could look this song up and watch it again.

    I used to think that the aqua green and near-purple of the oceans, the wind-swept beaches and stunning sunsets were somehow a trick of photography. I just returned from my first visit to the islands. These are no tricks. It is true paradise.

      @DJohnStPeter 8 років тому +2

      Leina Bektassova ....I have the CD; bought it in HONO Airport about 15 yrs ago. Had my daughter there for early HS graduation. We heard it constantly on Island Radio; I was and remain NUTS for Danny's album version. It transports me back there instantly, to an absolutely beautiful place and time with my family. The ONE SONG makes the buy right. The balance of the album cannot match the LOVE AND THE GLORY Danny put into his song. Prior to today, I did not know it was dedicated to his MOM.

    One of those experiences I wish to experience with my wife and children before it is too late is to hear Danny Couch sing live . He has been performing on Oahu. We have visited Maui and Kaua..
    Frankly, I think he has an excellent voice, with great range, great tone, and great style.
    Danny and Keali'i Reichel are still around, two Hawaiian performers I most wish to see and hear live.
    I also enjoy the way Danny performs the "Hawaiian Wedding Song" in both English and Hawaiian

    While this is a beautiful and incredible song, your video was boring in the fact that it wasnt even a video but the song playing while looking at the album cover. Look at a couple of the other videos of the same song and recording and see how they have incorporated pictures into a video montage to coincide with the lyrics in the song. Looking at those pictures while Danny is singing really brings the song home and to life!!
