about

Yvonne wrote and recorded this track all by herself, and it's self explanatory: about her upbringing in Hawaii. Did I mention it's also one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded? Brilliantly arranged and classically portrayed, this song employs modern rock with strings and orchestral style. And she sings like a bird here. One is easily hypnotized by the loveliness of her being in her voice.

lyrics

Mild doses of winter rain
Brown bodies and pink champagne
Barefoot walking on sunshine days
Cool waters and blue green bays

In Hawaii
There's a special glow of beauty in Hawaii

I remember all the white beaches and perfect waves
Acid sunsets and flower leis
Easy living and lazy ways
Velvet mornings at break of day

In Hawaii
There's a special glow of beauty in Hawaii

I left my home on a big bird
Lost, alone and unhurt
To gather some knowledge of this great vast earth
To learn about more than the place of my birth

Only to miss the wonders of Hawaii

Packaged people with [?]
Smile for the camera with my ebony eyes
Fake love potions, real estate lies
Bring all your dollars to this paradise

Hawaii
Hmm mm mm
Oh Hawaii
