The ocean breeze, the swaying palms and a voice that could melt hearts; “This Is My Heaven” isn’t just a love song. It’s a soft, sun-kissed moment in Presley’s musical journey that takes us far from the spotlight and deep into his romantic, dreamy side. Set against the lush backdrop of Paradise, Hawaiian Style, this song paints a picture of peace, love, and that feeling of being exactly where you belong.

 Released in 1966 as part of the film Paradise, Hawaiian Style, “This Is My Heaven” feels like a musical postcard. Elvis sings about finding his heaven; not in some far-off place, but in the arms of someone he loves. The message is simple but powerful: love creates paradise, not the other way around.

This video features Elvis’s sweet, relaxed vocals layered over stunning images of Hawaii. It feels like you’re right there with him—barefoot in the sand, watching the sun go down with someone special by your side. Fans love this softer, tropical side of Elvis while it’s not one of his biggest hits, it’s a hidden gem that long-time listeners treasure. People comment on how calm and beautiful the song makes them feel as it is like a warm hug in the form of music.

The peaceful tone of “This Is My Heaven” makes it a perfect lead-in to another lesser-known treasure: “Hawaiian Sunset.” Both songs are soaked in sunlight and filled with that same dreamy, peaceful vibe. One flows perfectly into the other, giving you the feeling of a perfect island day. Let the music play. Let your mind drift. And let Elvis show you what heaven sounds like.
