The Back Story In Brief

The song started life, like so many do, as another silly love song and basic short demo in a slightly different form and style. But not happy with some of the lyrics, it was left for another day to develop further. That day came many, Many, MANY years later under a very different combined set of circumstances and a mysterious event, as yet still unexplained.

Coincidence, Fate & Mystery

The pandemic caused much distress to many people, one person in particular described in despair,to the composer the moment lockdown had been extended as if “the last light at the end of tunnel had died out”.

Very distressed to hear this, the composer, who was by coincidence developing the music of the old song, made it priority to complete it.

Again completely by coincidence a large (and broken) canvas was delivered to the composers house in a tatty box of two figures, one offering a ray of light to the other in need of hope. This is where the mystery comes in. No such (or any) canvas had been ordered. It just turned up with no explanation, and the delivery driver scurried away before any questions could be asked (as they tend too). The mystery remains.

Ainsley described it as another unsolved mystery of the infamous and mysterious Medway Triangle! (its a BIG triangle).

Both incidents seemed connected by fate, and were enough to inspire the full resurrection and direction for a dual meaning to the song.

Song & Video Production

On completion of a basic demo, the song was sent down to Kent and offered to Ainsley Dowell, who “loved it” and immediately played it to her long time musical collaborator Perry who proclaimed it as “Highly commercial, The catchiest song since Happy by Pharrell Williams“.

Ainsley set to work on developing the vocals and harmonies. The result was another staggering performance. In the meantime final developments were made to the backing tracks with the intention of producing an authentic 70s sounding reggae track using a deep bass, Hammond organs, Solina string machine synthesizer, chop guitar and drums including timbale. The vocals were added, and mixed. The result a brilliant vibrant poppy uplifting catchy, VERY CATCHY dance able song.

Next a video. The song, thanks to its sunny outlook, demanded an exotic location. Ainsley immediately packed her bags for the tropical Isle of St Chique situated in the Medway, the warm part! The islands mascot is Sunny Dee, who also plays a cool saxophone!

Ainsley helped co-produce the video with her choreographed multiplicity performance which is truly amazing and looks stunning., All set against the tropical backdrop and warm waters of St Chique (who’s island shape bares a remarkable resemblance to the pendant she wears in the video). The island was once said to be inhabited the ancient Ainzdec tribe. So put your shades on, treat yourself to a long cool drink & mini magnum ice cream. get dancing and let a little sunshine in to your life.
