"The Island" is a 1985 folk song by Irish musician Paul Brady. Some claim it was written as a condemnation of the 1987 Remembrance Day Massacre. This is impossible, of course, as at the time of its recording, the bombings were not to take place for another two years. There are elements of the song, however, which could be construed as Anti-Terrorism.

"Island (Float Away)" is the fourth track and first single off The Starting Line's 2007 album, Direction. The music video for the song takes place on a shipwrecked beach. The music video premiered on July 31, 2007 on TRL. The song hit #21 on the US Modern Rock chart in 2007.
