I love this song. Straight Lines, Sanctuary, Living By Numbers and On Island are my all time favorite from their 1st album.I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one wishing for Tony Mansfield to make a come back.(either his own stuff or other guy's production stuff,anything will do).
Look, I'm 50 years old and this song reminds me of days long past and boy! does it ever give me the old tingle down the spine. Come Back Eighties! where did you go?
I had so many ambitions back then. Oh music. So much more than we mere mortals can ever achieve and yet mere mortals achieve this....
a tune no one can forget!!!!.....been in my brain for at least 30yrs!!.....ahhhh those halcyon days!.....music never gets old...its just us...music is immortal!!!!!
I found it !!! I found it !!! Ive heard this song on the radio 20 years ago , FM stations used to play it all the time , Thank you !!! thank you !!! Thank You !!!
@mizzpussycat you're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome!! I'm glad my video helped you find a memory from your past. Although I think the radio would have played this 30 years ago, not 20 years.
@mizzpussycat have right, that song was on the radio ~` 20 years ago , but that was cover made by ...moment ....moment... : Camouflage - On Islands LP. Methods of Silence = bQkPzj6Qavg :D
34 years old now and my dad used to play this all the time when i was a kid !what a fantastic song and such fond memories thank you for this song novheart .peace.
For those of you who like that track, French band Orwell has just released a free E.P. with some cover versions of obscure or underrated titles from between 1980 and 1984, amongst them On Islands.
You can download it for free on our website : orwellmusic
There are some people who nevel will forget this song. My brother and me loved it very much! My brother went away sleeping at the wheel..., I stayed here with my memories.
It should have been no 1 around the world. one of my all time favourite albums. Tony Mansfield is a genius. Another one of my all time favourite albums is Burning Bridges by Naked Eyes and Tony produced that too.
N0vaheart, if you post the heading "New Musik - On Islands" you'll get a lot more hits. This has been up for 5+ months and I just found it. Great video, very Atlantic Canada-appropriate.

@bobpeeweemusic New Musik's version is the 100% original version - on their 1980 album "From A To B" - anything else is a cover version

There must be other worlds....Other Islands...There must be!
Tony knew way back in 1980 and probably before then. The child in us all should know too. Wake up, it's nearly 2012.
