歌詞
[Verse 1]
You left your sandals by the garden gate
Salt on your shoulder, and we’re running late
A paper cup of mango, warm in my hand
You say, “Come on, let’s find the waterline again”
[Pre-Chorus]
The day’s still young, the tide is turning slow
You take my hand and tell me where to go
[Chorus]
Sunshine riddim, carry us away
Barefoot hearts and a long, easy day
Turn around, let the whole world sway
We’ve got time, we’ve got time to play
Sunshine riddim, sing it out with me
One small island in a wide blue sea
If you’re here, then I’m where I wanna be
We’ve got time, we’ve got time to breathe
[Verse 2]
Your brother’s old canoe is tied up by the pier
We paddle past the boats while the shore disappears
A little radio is playing from the sand
You laugh so hard you nearly lose your hat again
[Pre-Chorus]
The day’s still young, the tide is turning slow
You take my hand and tell me where to go
[Chorus]
Sunshine riddim, carry us away
Barefoot hearts and a long, easy day
Turn around, let the whole world sway
We’ve got time, we’ve got time to play
Sunshine riddim, sing it out with me
One small island in a wide blue sea
If you’re here, then I’m where I wanna be
We’ve got time, we’ve got time to breathe
[Bridge]
When the last boat comes in, we can stay awhile
Let the evening find us with that salt-air smile
No big plans, no reason to run
Just you beside me and the day not done
[Final Chorus]
Sunshine riddim, carry us away
Barefoot hearts and a long, easy day
Turn around, let the whole world sway
We’ve got time, we’ve got time to play
Sunshine riddim, sing it out with me
One small island in a wide blue sea
If you’re here, then I’m where I wanna be
We’ve got time, we’ve got time to breathe
[Outro]
We’ve got time, we’ve got time to play
Sunshine riddim, carry us away
You left your sandals by the garden gate
Salt on your shoulder, and we’re running late
A paper cup of mango, warm in my hand
You say, “Come on, let’s find the waterline again”
[Pre-Chorus]
The day’s still young, the tide is turning slow
You take my hand and tell me where to go
[Chorus]
Sunshine riddim, carry us away
Barefoot hearts and a long, easy day
Turn around, let the whole world sway
We’ve got time, we’ve got time to play
Sunshine riddim, sing it out with me
One small island in a wide blue sea
If you’re here, then I’m where I wanna be
We’ve got time, we’ve got time to breathe
[Verse 2]
Your brother’s old canoe is tied up by the pier
We paddle past the boats while the shore disappears
A little radio is playing from the sand
You laugh so hard you nearly lose your hat again
[Pre-Chorus]
The day’s still young, the tide is turning slow
You take my hand and tell me where to go
[Chorus]
Sunshine riddim, carry us away
Barefoot hearts and a long, easy day
Turn around, let the whole world sway
We’ve got time, we’ve got time to play
Sunshine riddim, sing it out with me
One small island in a wide blue sea
If you’re here, then I’m where I wanna be
We’ve got time, we’ve got time to breathe
[Bridge]
When the last boat comes in, we can stay awhile
Let the evening find us with that salt-air smile
No big plans, no reason to run
Just you beside me and the day not done
[Final Chorus]
Sunshine riddim, carry us away
Barefoot hearts and a long, easy day
Turn around, let the whole world sway
We’ve got time, we’ve got time to play
Sunshine riddim, sing it out with me
One small island in a wide blue sea
If you’re here, then I’m where I wanna be
We’ve got time, we’ve got time to breathe
[Outro]
We’ve got time, we’ve got time to play
Sunshine riddim, carry us away
音楽のスタイル
Pop-reggae fusion, 90 BPM, A major, uplifting carefree summer anthem, infectious dance energy. Tight relaxed one-drop groove with buoyant bass, clean electric guitar playing crisp offbeat skanks, bright organ bubbles, light hand percussion, and polished pop drums. Begin with a short guitar-and-organ intro, open into warm melodic verses, lift with a rising pre-chorus, then hit a wide singalong chorus with layered harmonies and extra percussion; add a brief instrumental guitar hook before the final chorus. Clear, joyful lead vocal, clean modern mix, punchy low end and spacious bright top.
