You see, Geoff - it isn't even just me. This is How It Works.
Thanks for the great theme to bring out this truth of life.
This whole thing makes me so happy.

This song is somewhat somberly themed, but I think it fits the theme. Behind every fun, goofy, joking ukulele player there's a bit of a sad clown somewhere inside... My sad clown song:

yes indeed happy birthday librainian and mr librainian snr!
ok here is a song, it's the one that popped into my head the minute i read the theme, i dunno if it really counts - geoff, if it doesn't, no worries, we can chuck it over to THE ISLAND, oh dear the whole idea of the island this week has been making me giggle, because the theme IS islands, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh never mind it's probably only me that finds this amusing!
anyway this song makes me think of angst and loneliness and isolation and drawing a face on a basketball for company, all that alone-on-a-desert-island stuff, that's why it popped into my head, and wouldn't pop out of my head again 'til i did it
it is an absolute blighter to sing, i gave it my best shot
and tried to BE david sylvian *swoooooooooooooooon*
well i tried to be david sylvian if he played uke
and couldn't sing his own songs properly
so
not really very much like david sylvian at all, then!

After a hard day trying to survive, sometimes you need a simple laid back four chord song to give you some chilled out vibes.
Nah, I noticed that to, all this island stuff is confusingly discombobulating...
Also, I got a recording device, still uses a capo as a prop...
Not my normal phone, it's harder to stop recording... "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by UNITED
Lyrics:
You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand
And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine
Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now
So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine
[4x]
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior
Oh, Jesus, My God!**
I will call upon Your name
Keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
I am Yours and You are mine
**My voice can't do that
Lyrics:

The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery

For I am Yours and You are mine
Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sovereign hand
Will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now
So I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves

Hi seasonistas,
on the german forum I saw today the perfect island song from Donovan: from sun over sea to stars, everything what's left, if there's nothing.

Do it!
Congrats on the recording device. Maybe you need to get a tripod, or something?
Or at least another capo.

Is my island deserted? Maybe from man, but I keep hearing drums coming from the other side of the island and off in the distance a song.

Lovely theme Geoff, so imaginative! I hope I get a chance to put an entry in, I seem to have hardly been at home for weeks, just such a lot of stuff going on. I've an idea for a song so I hope to do it. Fingers crossed.

SOTU 162 - End of the Line
This would be my kind of put in perspective song. Regardless of where we are and what our circumstances are we just need to keep pluggin away and doin the best we can. Its also one that I think the lyrics would evolve as my time on the island extended.

a song about how i got on the pesky island in the first place
pesky sirens
singing a song
about how there was a uke sale on the island
turned out to be a COMPLETE fib
"song to the siren" originally by tim buckley
and also covered with maximum swooooooooooooon factor (i'm seeing a whole extra theme here for me this week) by this mortal coil

I was going to try and contact civilization tomorrow with a smoke fire and SOS rocks on the beach but I may be tied up tomorrow shimmying up coconut trees and nursing splinters. I am starting to get lonely and this is what I dreamed about.

No lights - no telly. But I have a uke so some night sky noodling would be on the cards.

This has turned out to be a somewhat busy week for me so I might be a bit erratic in commenting on your videos. I will get round to them, though so keep them coming and if I miss you out or forget to put you on the playlist, let me know.
Cheers
Geoff
