FEEL THE
ISLAND
VYBE

For the love of my country... this is such a beautiful song by Ray Holman. This was posted on Sokah2Soca previously and for this Sunday it just feels right to share it with my islandvybe family. Regardless of what island you come from just take in this song; Trinis you have permission to cry!

 

If you are living away from Trinidad and Tobago and still yearn for the life you left behind, we are about to make you cry and reminisce about the "Ole Time Days". I just gave you a cheap plug to remember Nappy Myers' song, which tends to make emigrated Trinis cry. Today is a new day and with it comes another reason to shed a tear for the life you left behind. Today we present you with a tearjerker written and sung by legendary steelpan musician, composer, and arranger Ray Holman; the song is entitled, "Sweet Island Memories". This nostalgic song, along with nine other tracks, comes from the album "First Love."

 

Our goal is to bring back sweet memories. It is not meant to cause sadness but to help you recall all the pleasant memories of growing up in Trinidad and Tobago. This feeling and memory will be better appreciated by those who grew up in Trinidad during the '60s, '70s, and '80s. Times have changed and the fun of hanging out with friends in any neighborhood is now fraught with unknown danger lurking and waiting to create sadness. This song, presented here today, will surely make you smile and even shed a tear.  Definitely one to repeat. Enjoy!
