My Island Nouveau
The Inspiration
“Island Nouveau” captures a deeply personal vision of harmony, gratitude, and sanctuary. Through vivid imagery of lush food forests, rich harvests, and glowing night skies, Donal paints a picture of an ideal haven—a place where the soul can slow down, rest, and fully immerse itself in the simple richness of creation. It is a celebration of life’s finest comforts, from shared meals to quiet moments under the stars, rooted in an abiding appreciation for the earth’s natural beauty.
Beyond the peaceful scenery, the song carries a message of faith, inner healing, and renewed hope. As the lyrics guide us through this magical landscape, they invite us to reflect on our own journey and find our own “island” of calm amidst life’s busyness. It serves as an uplifting reminder that when we connect with nature’s gifts and walk with a open heart, we uncover the true peace and quiet wisdom that reside within us all.

First Verse
My island where I go,
Forest gardens grow,
Fine foods, grapes and peach,
Lots more fruit in reach,
Nice wines and cheese to grace,
It’s my magical place.
Second Verse
My Island in the sea,
Log cabins lodge me,
All wines are Bordeaux,
Some dry red Merlot,
As I taste wines anew,
To grace my barbecue.
Chorus
My island where I go,
Earth’s treasures bestow,
A health food forest maze,
To embrace all nature’s ways,
The fruits of creation grow,
On my Island Nouveau.
Third Verse
My island full of hope,
Faith and me elope,
Where forest abound,
Soul secrets are found,
How coloured stars amaze,
When skies are all ablaze.
Fourth Verse
My island full of joy,
Blue skies say enjoy,
Sweet dreams explain why,
Soul peace will reply,
On mother’s nature walk,
The fruits of wisdom talk.
Chorus
My island where I go,
Earth’s treasures bestow,
A health food forest maze,
To embrace all nature’s ways,
The fruits of creation grow,
On my Island Nouveau.
Outro
The fruits of creation grow, on my Island Nouveau.
