Great song Kent, even without an orchestra!

I wrote this sardonic folk song about pier pressure and the fear of not fitting in.  

Played on my Stroviols ukulele. I sang and overdubbed all of the vocal parts. 

mediocrity (ukulele original)

A completely acoustic lo-fi recording of my original psychedelic tune featuring a 1920s Stroviols horn ukulele with a drone accompaniment played on a 2017 Meltone 25 1/2" scale Curly Koa cigar box cello gurdy that I designed, built, and completed with a  head stock that I carved from Hard Maple.

Ship my boners  home

FIRST SONG

When you wake up in the morning, there is always a new Sun...
When you kiss someone you love, maybe you don't know:
It's like when it rains... (2)

SAY: Before and after, on and on, day and night saying all is around again!

You've found a window and you watch it all!
Somebody said it's called a heart...
You can meet there another point of view
if you don't like to lie...

SAY: I want my soul alive...
Let it go but you don't own... Oh, no!

You hear that old song, when the same old Sun is shining in the sky...
You breath as you live and then you know:
It's always your first song!
This is your first song!

STRING BOYS - Emails That Matter (Director's Cut)

Death comes for us all
no one escapes (no one)
not even you, Little Man!
Death has a plan
for each one of us

Death comes for us all
no one is spared
but don't be scared, Little Man!
Death has a plan
for each one of us

RUCKUS

Life is brief and bright
go to the light
do what you can, Little Man!
Death has a plan
for each one of us

Regreta

Although I'm no musician for years my brain has received little noisy songs that I crudely record no-tech on a small portable recorder. I sing and play my 1920s Stroviols ukulele in one take and later overdub additional harmonies, instruments, and sounds without the use of talent or digital effects.
