Tony (Florida) approached me on the international music collaboration website I belong to (kompoz.com) about auditioning for a completely different song. While working on that song together, I listened to another one of his guitar tracks and immediately fell in love with it. The words seemed to write themselves as his magical guitar playing resonated in my head that day.  He was gracious enough to allow me to sing and write words for it.  

Raul (Florida) added the right touch of beat and George (South Carolina) came along with his ever-versatile but always fitting bass (that man can do everything!).  :)  Nimara (Romania) added some light percussion and synth accompaniment while Nigel (Scotland) brought an uplifting strings, cello, and keys addition.  

Then, my dear friend, Stoman (Germany), who I ruthlessly call many different nicknames, but one thing is for sure; German engineering remains top notch---even with my less than perfect tracks to work with--mixed the song together making it into one cohesive music bouquet, as if we were all in the same studio room.

People connect to different songs; different genres; at different seasons in their lives.  We hope you connect with this sweet song by Tony in whatever season you're in.  Thank you for listening!  :)  ~ Kim

Promise Me and I’ll promise you. 
When we say, “I do.” It’ll mean something true. 
Promise Me, you’ll never depart. 
Let’s try and avoid the silly talk and start loving each other with our hearts. 

I swear today. I’m here to stay. 
If you Promise Me, I’ll be here always.
I swear today, I’ll forever stay. 
Just Promise Me. Promise Me. 

Promise Me and I’ll promise you.
Let’s avoid all the fancy rhetoric. 
Keeping it simple will be much better.  

We’ll never have to settle for less. 
If we always give each other our best. 
Just Promise Me.

I like to write quirky songs--this be one of them. :) This song is adapted for the ukulele based from lyrics and melody that I originally wrote to German Music Producer and Friend, Steffen Offermann's {stoman.org} very fun track. Hope you enjoy! :)

Some songs are more challenging than others. Original uke song, Lean, Look, Love is certainly was one of those as you'll be able to tell but I still very much enjoyed the journey from concept to "print." Ultimately, it's about the long, never-ending journey (for me anyway) of what truly matters to me in this lifetime. :) Happy Blessed weekend and I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed working on it. 

(The next few weeks will be a little less productive (I think anyway) as I prepare for an international trip; however I hope once I'm settled, I can work on everything a little more consistently. We'll see! Thank you VERY VERY much for following along and for being incredibly encouraging and kind to this fledgling singer/uke enthusiast!) :) :)

Lean Look Love::Original Ukulele Song

I know it's been a bit since I've posted an original song but here's one I recorded a few days ago called, Cup of Tea.  I've been really trying to concentrate on learning cover songs but this song kept bubbling up so I just decided to take a break and record it quickly.  As with mostly everything I do, it's obvious that I have no clue how to really record but it's all in good, clean fun!  Hope your summer is wonderful wherever you are and whatever you're doing!! :) :)  Thank you for following along my amazing uke journey.  It's been almost 5 months since I picked up the little 4-stringer... and I'm more infatuated than I was at day one! :) :)  Happy Dappy Friday, Ya'll!! :)

A very special thank you to Steffen O. (stoman.org) and Stefan S. for helping me with chords and song arrangement.  These guys continue to help me in a multitude of ways I could NEVER full express!!  Sorry about the bad video recording... standard fare from me!! :)

C You prefer tough; I’m more   Gm.     Soft

Original Ukulele Song::Cup of Tea

I created this song for my youngest son's birthday!!  An amazing kid to know and I can't believe I'm the one who gets to love him!!!  

[G]Trees are never [D]born tall or [Am]strong.
[D]Takes the weather; [Em]rain and sun.
[F]Please know I'm [D] here for you, [Am]whatever.
[D]To count each ring; as you grow [Em]up. cause


When the [G]world confuses[C] you, takes its [Em] toll--with all to [G]lose.
 Please know that; [Am] Please know that; you're mine to [D]love.
When [G]unsure and [C] abused, take hold of [G]me and [C] I'll hold you
[Am]You know that; you know that my love is [C] true.

[G]Dreams are never [D] given first [Am]hand.
[D]Takes a better [Em] sort of plan.
[F] So please never [D] fear, [Am] whatever.
[D] Always remember I'm your biggest [Em] fan. and

[G] Trees will always stand [D] tall and [Am]strong.
[D] As long as we never, [Em]tear them down.
[F] So please, know I’m [D]here to build, [Am]whatever.
[D] Don’t be afraid; to make your [Em]better plan.

Trees (for my dear Cal's 9th birthday)

Woke up to a rainy morning so I thought it might be a good day to record a new, original song titled: I Need Your Light. This song is inspired by a new friendship layered upon a newer friendship. My girlfriend was telling me about an experience she had with a great friend in the dark of night. On the bus ride home, I began to turn over what a GREAT metaphorical experience she had with this good friend and how they helped her walk through the night. Thus, this song. I hope you enjoy it and it encourages you. I am dedicating this song to a sweet friend who I just found out purchased not one... but TWO (whaaattt!!??) ukes and am looking forward to hearing about her journey!! Happy Dappy Monday, Ya'll and cheers to every single friendship that helps light a way through the darkest of nights!! :) :)

Original Ukulele Song::I Need Your Light

It's been a while since I've written a new song. I become more and more thankful for my ukulele journey -- now moving toward 8 months of playing, loving, and being ever more and more grateful! This original song is called, You Know The Kind. Don't let anyone steal your joy!

Original Ukulele Song::You Know the Kind

Looking Back

Strong Enough
Don't let them tell you otherwise
Strong Enough
You're made of steel
Strong Enough
Don't let the demons get inside
Strong Enough
A SuperHero for real.
