The opening bars on the piano for this song are timeless........what a really nice rendition of The Island............a classic always.....and Harry Belafonte's favourite song....great stuff Paul.

[@kevinxmc]

What an honor it must be, Paul. Your music moves us all.

[@loushark6722]

Oh. What justice the singer does to Paul's song. 👌

[@loushark6722]

Sublime.

[@brigidoriordan3361]

[@alanmartin1949]

It certainly brought a tear to my eyes - and you Paul?

[@gitfeatures1]

My favourite Paul Brady song, nobody sings it better than Paul but this is a nice interpretation

[@janefriel6895]

Mr Brady.☘♥️🇮🇪

[@bid84]

The older I get the more Paul’s quality shines through, great cover by Aloe

[@brianmurphy3935]

Great t see another version of Paul's song 👏

[@jodygallagher8829]

Absolutely brilliant...and demonstrates that all problems are international....well done Paul Brady...and Aloe Blacc

[@jonathanryan4497]

A great tribute to you Paul... such a moving and powerful song.

[@nickloughrey9841]

This song is a masterpiece by Paul ............nothing but the same old story , steel claw ., crazy dreams ...........what a songsmith !

[@josephmcgivern9671]

what a song and what singer great to here Pauls world wide

[@harrietbarbir8579]

Super voice, always loved The Island.

[@itsfuzzy]

Beautiful, no other words

[@jashelen]

Lovely version but Paul's will never be bettered.

[@malduddy6901]

That's a great cover 👌

[@paulbreen8533]

Brilliant. I also would love to hear how Nick Cave would treat this classic.

[@simoley1]

Lovely rendition, makes me think that Tracey Chapman and Paul Brady should have collaborated back in the day. They both stand out on their own but some might have more to offer to each other

[@RobElliott-s1o]

What a fabulous version of Paul's song.

[@spruce381]

Thanks - better than any rebel song.

[@faronvanzandt7179]

[@andykane9866]

The island as in ireland 🇮🇪 ❤

[@LimeTreeFace]

Surely not. Surely an island off Ireland

[@barrybrady6814]

Na Paul's the man

[@DMG-e9k]

Why wasn’t Paul Brady invited to sing this song…..was he too Northern Irish white?

[@GeorgeMeharg]

Listen to the Same Old Story from Hard Station album and maybe you may understand a little more . . . geoM

[@eoin.]

piano is lovely, but that singing is terrible. it seems like he hasn't actually learned the melody, just the words; and when he deviates from the actual melody, it's horridly flat. :/
