After the staggering success of Justin's debut album "Much Love" (2005), which produced the dance floor favourite "I Wanna Give You Some Lovin'" and the Pacific-wide anthem "Much Love", his follow-up album "JW" (2008) was no less impressive adding to his repertoire the sentimental ballad favourite "In Love With U" and the silky smooth, dancehall laced "Fire" - both multi-national no.1 smash hits. The expectations were high for Justin to come back strongly and reproduce the magic that he captured on his first two albums, and now after a long wait and much anticipation Justin's latest album, "Reign of Morobe", has finally arrived and is already proving to be his finest work to date.
Critics have labelled "Reign of Morobe" a "musical masterpiece". It features the tracks: "Runaway" - a fun and infectious zouk/reggaeton number about a weekend escapade, and a certified number one in several countries; "Island Girl" - a work of genius and a radio number one in New Zealand, this song is an incredible reworking of the classic 1950's ballads that many music listeners still cherish so dearly today; "Your Love" (feat. Sharzy) is an emotional and heartfelt tribute to Justin's grandmother, his lifelong hero and mentor; and the title track "Rain of Morobe" - featuring internationally acclaimed PNG artist O-shen. "Rain of Morobe" is a high energy dance track that tells the story of the torrential rains and storms that are commonplace in the Papua New Guinean province of Morobe, the place that both Justin and O-shen call home.
In "Reign of Morobe" listeners will witness the ever evolving talent and innovation that they have come to expect and appreciate from JW. It's unveiling is a landmark moment in Justin's successful and ongoing legacy. With hit after hit after hit, this album epitomises the term "all killer, no filler", and it is sure to have listeners dancing, reminiscing and rejoicing for years to come.
Island Sound
Justin Wellington Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On my island town
That lonesome feeling
Comes to my door
The whole world turns
It turns blue
There's a rundown bar
I've got a table for two
Way in the back
Where i sit alone
And think of losing you
I spend most every night
Beneath the light
Of the island moon
So if you lose your one and only
Theres always room here
For the lonely
To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of the island moon
I think of two lovers
Running wild and free
I close my eyes
And sometimes see
You in the shadows
Im still missing you
No telling how many tears
I've sat here and cried
Or how many lies
That I've lied
Telling my poor heart
She'll come back someday
Oh, but I'll be alright
As long as there's light
In the island moon
So if you lose your one and only
There's always room here
For the lonely
To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of beams
Of the island moon
Mercy
Yeah if i really love somebody, and when she gone me tell ya em no easy. Truly well it another whole new level, me(a) feeling the trouble me(a) heart(a) beat double them, cant express the way me(a) feeling, lonesome them no baby fi calling.

Line by Line Meaning
When the sun goes down
At sunset
On my island town
On the island where I live
That lonesome feeling
Feeling lonely
Comes to my door
I start to feel it more and more
The whole world turns
The world around me changes
It turns blue
It looks blue as the night comes
There's a rundown bar
There is an old bar
In an old beach shack
Built from an old shack near the beach
I've got a table for two
There's a table set for two people
Way in the back
Towards the back of the bar
Where i sit alone
Where I am by myself
And think of losing you
I think about the possibility of losing you
I spend most every night
Almost every night
Beneath the light
Under the light
Of the island moon
The bright moon that shines on this island
So if you lose your one and only
If you lose your significant other
There's always room here
There is always a place for the lonely
For the lonely
For those who are alone
To watch your broken dreams
To witness your shattered hopes and aspirations
Dance in and out of the beams
To move in and out of the bright moonlight
Of the island moon
The bright moon on this island
I think of two lovers
I remember how it felt to be in love
Running wild and free
Living without restrictions
I close my eyes
I shut my eyes
And sometimes see
And sometimes I recall
You in the shadows
I see you represented by the shadows
I'm still missing you
I still long for you
No telling how many tears
I can't count how many times I've cried
I've sat here and cried
I have cried alone for many hours
Or how many lies
I can't remember how many lies I've told
That I've lied
That I've told myself
Telling my poor heart
I reassure myself
She'll come back someday
You'll return one day
Oh, but I'll be alright
I'll be fine eventually
As long as there's light
As long as the moon shines
In the island moon
On this island, under the moonlight
Mercy
