These Islands; Written and Sung by Danny Couch

These Islands, I love Hawaii among the first launched!

Na Hoku Hano Hano Award Winning Song of the Year '2000

Have you felt the power,
Mountain craters throwing lava in the air,

Or it's green swept beauty,
From each island blossoms everywhere,

Have you found it’s spirit,

Ancient Gods their mana still lives here.
Colored rainbows stretch across the sky, waterfalls so high,
Mountains make you cry,
You will love these islands, nothing in the world can compare.
If you touch the spirit, then the gift of Love will lead you here.
This is Aloha, This Is Aloha, This is Aloha
This land of Hawai’i.
Have you seen…

"These Islands" was first released as a track on Danny Couch's 1997 album, "Almost Paradise." It was recognized for the song's potential value as a theme for a visitor-oriented marketing campaign and so it was part of the Miss Universe Pageant in 1998. The song was more than two years old when Danny re-released it as single but HARA considered it "new."

The inspired Danny wrote the song "These Islands" while sitting in traffic one day, able to take a moment to reflect, this song came to him in "about 20 minutes", with nothing to write the words down with, the inspired lyrics they were kept in his head until able to get into the studio later that same day to record this beautiful ballad. The song can be found on his self-produced studio album, Almost Paradise, "a collection of some of Danny's favorite songs", which was released in 1997 under the ©Danny Couch Record label. This beautiful ballad as it relates to "Mana" was used as the Theme Song for the '98 Miss Universe Pageant in Honolulu.

What is Mana?  It is the Hawaiian word for vital life force energy.
