Make Me An Island: Joe Dolan. A #1 hit in 14 countries #3 in UK on PYE Records in 1969. [Intro] [Verse] Different eyes different size different girls every day. Different names different games took my breath clean away. But I’m changed rearranged I’m enlightened and how. You have caught me you have taught me and I’m different now. [Chorus] Take me and break me and close all your windows and doors. Shut me off cut me off make me an island I’m yours. Take me away from the world take me away from the girls. Take me and break me and make me an island I’m yours. [Verse] Running round shifting ground that’s the life I have seen. But I’m tired uninspired and I’ve wiped my slate clean. You are mine I am yours if the Lord will allow. You have caught me you have taught me and I’m different now. [Chorus] Take me and break me and close all your windows and doors. Shut me off cut me off make me an island I’m yours. Take me away from the world take me away from the girls. Take me and break me and make me an island I’m yours. [Chorus] Take me and break me and close all your windows and doors. Shut me off cut me off make me an island I’m yours. Take me away from the world take me away from the girls. Take me and break me and make me an island I’m yours. [Outro] Take me and break me and make me an island I’m yours. Take me and break me and make me an island I’m yours. Take me and break me and make me an island I’m yours..(Fade.)

La chanson évoque le désir de fuir un monde plein de complications et de distractions, en cherchant refuge dans une relation amoureuse pour se sentir complet et apaisé. L’interprète exprime son besoin de se détacher des autres et de se concentrer sur une connexion intime, où il se sentira enfin compris et transformé. C'est un appel à la solitude, mais pas dans un sens négatif, plutôt comme un moyen de se retrouver et de se ressourcer avec l'autre personne. Sortie en 1969, elle a connu un grand succès international, révélant des thèmes universels d’amour et de recherche d’authenticité. Ce contexte d’évasion résonne particulièrement dans une époque où les relations superficielles et les distractions sont monnaie courante.
