Hawaii Paradise
Island Romance CD --- Lyrics
Words & Music by Michael Beachwood - BMI - C & P 2000 Michael Beachwood
Hawaii is truly a paradise! Living here is a dream come true! This song speaks of the islands, about living here, the warm sea breezes and the swaying palm trees. The style is a mixture of Hawaiian, Caribbean and Reggae, most often referred to as "Island Music". The steel drums throughout this piece really set the mood of the carefree island style of living!

Island In Your Eyes Island Romance CD --- Lyrics
Words & Music by Sheryl Preston - BMI - C & P 2000 Sheryl Preston
A Hawaiian, Island Jazz feel, this song is about seeing the island in your eyes! A sensuous song, the first few lines tell all... "The ocean whispers your name - The flowers bloom in your gaze - The palm trees dance in your presence - The sunlight kisses your face"! Sheryl continues to explore the many different styles of music that are evolving and blending here on Maui. She has definitely captured a unique, romantic mood!

Maui By Moonlight Island Romance CD --- Lyrics
Words by Krystal Viglione & Music by Sheryl Preston - BMI - C & P 2000 Sheryl Preston

Maui Wedding Song Island Romance CD --- Lyrics
Words & Music by Michael Beachwood - BMI - C & P 2000 Michael Beachwood
A touching and romantic song about the spirit of aloha and of getting married on Maui! Michael felt that as wonderful as the "Hawaiian Wedding Song" is, that Maui should have its own wedding song! After all, 1000's of couples are married on Maui each year! Michael sings the lyrics in English and one of Maui's most well known Hawaiian ministers, Rev. Piula Alailima, narrates in Hawaiian, a beautiful translation of one of the verses near the end of the song. His deep, romantic voice only deepens the meaning and the spirit of this song.

Moon Over Maui Island Romance CD --- Lyrics
Words & Music by Sheryl Preston - BMI - C & P 2000 Sheryl Preston
A very romantic Hawaiian song describing the moon rising over majestic Haleakala, Maui's dormant volcano. Words can only begin to express the feelings of wonder as the beautiful Maui moon begins to rise... glimmering on the calm and glassy ocean!

You And Me, Island Style Island Romance CD --- Lyrics
Words & Music by Sheryl Preston - BMI - C & P 2000 Sheryl Preston
Sheryl wanted to write a lively, fun song about taking your shoes off and running on the soft sandy beach! This song is about playing hookie from work and going to the beach! PrestonBeachwood invited two local radio personalities, Alaka'i Paleka and Allen Pokipala to add a sexy, romantic repartee to the song, which is really great. Their voices are sooooo Hawaiian, and they added the perfect touch to this fun song!

Love Is A Lonely Road
Words & Music by Michael Beachwood - BMI - C & P 1982 Michael Beachwood

Raging River

A humorous song about the pace of life, and the need to slow down, releasing your anxiety.

Hungry For Love
Words & Music by Michael Beachwood - BMI - C & P 1988 Michael Beachwood
This song is about unrequited love. Empathy is a strong attribute of most great songwriters, to be able to feel the needs and pain of others.

Nuclear Blues
Words & Music by Michael Beachwood - BMI - C & P 1985 Michael Beachwood
This is a comical, funny blues environmental song, about nuclear power. We told you that Michael and Sheryl were not conventional songwriters. They dare you to pigeon-hole this song into a style or niche. This is one all its own, and very, very funny!

All God's Creatures
Words & Music by Michael Beachwood - BMI - C & P 1983 Michael Beachwood

Peaceful Easy Day

"there's a grove of forest pine standing straight and tall, seeking their existence within mother natured's law... lifting the heavens oh so high... in their own special way, on this peaceful easy day!"

She
Words & Music by Michael Beachwood - BMI - C & P 1983 Michael Beachwood
This song is often mistaken for a love song because of its title, however, "she" is really mother nature! "She appeared for me on one stormy day, she had eyes as pure as the rain, and as I felt her heart beat within me she did say, you my child, have come home this day."

Last Words

Ship At Sea
Words & Music by Michael Beachwood - BMI - C & P 1985 Michael Beachwood
A 'ship at sea' is analogous with our world in space, a wonderful self contained orb afloat in space. The need to treat it for what it is... our only lifeboat in the sea of space! "All of our world is but a ship at sea..."
