"My Island" is a meditative slice of folk and reggae rhythms that comes with a lofty music pedigree, it was co-written by legendary Rock Hall of Fame songwriter and producer Jeff Barry ("Chapel of Love") and Grammy Award-winning songwriters and producers Brian and Native Wayne Jobson, best known for their work with No Doubt ("Hey Baby" & "Underneath It All").

The music video for "My Island" was shot on location in Jamaica as a travel journey featuring Eddie as a tropical troubadour traveling to secret locations, like a waterfall surrounded by rich flora and fauna and an ancient natural spring water lagoon sprung from an underwater limestone cave. Also featured is Fire Water, the only known natural sulfur hot springs on the planet that can be set on fire, and Laughing Waters made famous in the James Bond film Dr. No.

Eddie Witz and The Most High combine the magical vibe of Jack Johnson with the sunshine of Jimmy Buffett and mix it into an Americana/Folk/Pop/Reggae gumbo that takes us into that mythical pleasure vortex from which we never want to escape.

Lyrics:
Tall gray buildings
Flashing street lights
Crowded sidewalks, boulevards
Take a step back, and you wonder
How'd we ever
Come this far

When the dark begins and the fear sets in
Leave your comforts own
Cause you're not alone

Let me take you, to my island
Where our hearts beat
At the same speed
Once you come down, down to my island
You may never want to leave

Crazy headlines, stressed-out deadlines
On a never-ending wheel
Hard decisions, life revisions
We must follow what we feel
Now our work is done so we reach for the sun
Everything is in shape for our great escape

Let me take you, to my island
Where our hearts beat
At the same speed
Once you come down, down to my island
You may never want to leave

There's a sacred place where we will be safe
Leave this crazy race for our great escape
Bags are packed, got our tickets, we're standing in the line
Here our names called, no hesitation, hope this Boeing leaves on time
There's a serenade as the horizon fades, the sun breaks through and the world is new

Let me take you, to my island
Where our hearts beat at the same speed
Once you come down, down to my island
You may never want to leave

Let me take you, to my island
Where our hearts beat
At the same speed
Once you come down, down to my island
You may never want to leave

Once you come down, down to my island
You may never want to leave
