365 Days of Ukulele

just in case you were wondering :)

tada! as promised like 2 minutes ago!

Loose Lips by Kimya Dawson. my mic is all scratchy and gross and makes my ukulele sound gross :/

as a reward for being patient, I just did a song. Loose Lips by Kimya Dawson. 

I PROMISE Build Me Up, Buttercup is coming soon, ok? hang tight <3

I think I’m going to do “Build Me Up Buttercup” instead, but not today. but still possibly I’ll do an Ingrid Michaelson song. something. I’ll keep you posted.

in other news! I serenaded my dad’s nurse tonight. i like serenading people :D

and of course my mom bashed my ukulele into a door so it got a little chip on it piubpiubrgsfgv but it’s alright.

I just tuned my ukulele down 2 half steps(so a whole step, yes i know), so that i can hopefully play “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” without sounding like a dying moose when i sing. We shall see what happens!

Somewhere over the rainbow 
Way up high 
There’s a land that I heard of 
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow 
Skies are blue 
And the dreams that you dare to 
Dream really do come true

Some day I’ll wish upon a star 
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me 
Where troubles melt like lemondrops 
Away above the chimney tops 
That’s where you’ll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow 
Bluebirds fly 
Birds fly over the rainbow 
Why then, oh why can’t I?

If happy little bluebirds fly 
Beyond the rainbow 
Why, oh why can’t I?

I Like Giants, Kimya Dawson

When I go for a drive I like to pull off to the side
Of the road, turn out the lights, get out and look up at the sky
And I do this to remind me that I'm really, really tiny
In the grand scheme of things and sometimes this terrifies me
But it's only really scary cause it makes me feel serene
In a way I never thought I'd be because I've never been
So grounded, and so humbled, and so one with everything
I am grounded, I am humbled, I am one with everything
Rock and roll is fun but if you ever hear someone
Say you are huge, look at the moon, look at the stars, look at the sun
Look at the ocean and the desert and the mountains and the sky
Say I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye
I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye
When I saw Geneviève I really liked it when she said
What she said about the giant and the lemmings on the cliff
She said 'I like giants
Especially girl giants
Cause all girls feel too big sometimes
Regardless of their size`
When I go for a drive I like to pull off to the side
Of the road and run and jump into the ocean in my clothes
And I'm smaller than a poppyseed inside a great big bowl
And the ocean is a giant that can swallow me whole
So I swim for all salvation and I swim to save my soul
But my soul is just a whisper trapped inside a tornado
So I flip to my back and I float and I sing
I am grounded, I am humbled, I am one with everything
I am grounded, I am humbled, I am one with everything
So I talked to Geneviève and almost cried when she said
That the giant on the cliff wished that she was dead
And the lemmings on the cliff wished that they were dead
So the giant told the lemmings why they ought to live instead
When she thought up all those reasons that they ought to live instead
It made her reconsider all the sad thoughts in her head
So thank you Geneviève, cause you take what is in your head
And you make things that are so beautiful and share them with your friends
We all become important when we realize our goal
Should be to figure out our role within the context of the whole
And yeah, rock and roll is fun, but if you ever hear someone
Say you are huge, look at the moon, look at the stars, look at the sun
Look at the ocean and the desert and the mountains and the sky
Say I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye
I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye
I am just a speck of dust inside a giant's eye
And I don't wanna make her cry
Cause I like giants

I’m not this orange/pale in real life.
