about
"The tune came about in the only way things in my career tend to…by someone saying something random while in front of an audience, then realizing that you have to live up to it," says Klopfenstein.
He recalls,"Tahlena said “You know what would be crazy and fun…? And I said “I like crazy and fun!” And the fans said “We want crazy and fun!” So we gave it a go. I’m not sure if what we did is crazy and fun, but I’m positive…for the most part…that we did something crazy and I had fun."
Tahlena Chikami adds, "You ever just blurt something out of your mouth and not really think it through? That’s how this cover of "Islands in the Stream" came about. While streaming on Twitch, I just sort of said, “Wouldn’t it be funny if Scott and I covered Islands in the Stream? We’ll dress up and everything. Hilarious!”. And the internet did what the internet does, it ran with it. Before we knew it, we were there singing it together on Scott’s stream.
To me, this cover sort of encapsulates the best parts of the Twitch community. Getting to collaborate with other artists, having inside jokes with your subscribers. Twitch streams sort of build their own community and lore. This cover is a great example of just that.
I was excited to do something with Scott, someone whose talent I really admire. It was really just all good, clean, and wet fun. Plus, I love any excuse to take out my Dolly wig!"
Director Chris Graue says, "There's a beautiful strangeness in watching two people who have never met sing a song about being lovers together, and I hope we've captured something of that awkward joy for the audience."
lyrics
Baby, when I met you there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb
I was soft inside, there was somethin' going on
You do something to me that I can't explain
Hold me closer and I feel no pain
Every beat of my heart
We got somethin' goin' on
Tender love is blind
It requires a dedication
All this love we feel
Needs no conversation
We ride it together, ah-ah
Makin' love with each other, ah-ah
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in-between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ah
From one lover to another, ah-ah
I can't live without you if the love was gone
Everything is nothin' if you got no one
And you did walk in tonight
Slowly losing sight of the real thing
But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the message is clear
This could be the year for the real thing
No more will you cry
Baby, I will hurt you never
We start and end as one, in love forever
We can ride it together, ah-ah
Makin' love with each other, ah-ah
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in-between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ah
From one lover to another, ah-ah
Sail away
Ooh, come sail away with me
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in-between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ah
From one lover to another, ah-ah
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in-between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ah
From one lover to another, ah-ah
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
