Hi everyone,
The above video is of my second original song that I wrote in rememberance of my dear friend "Jessie Oliver" - that was what she called herself online, her real name was Lynn Gilderdale. She and I met through the blogging site livejournal and both suffered from M.E (also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in the US). Jessie's was much more severe than mine. She was bed bound, paralysed, fed through a tube and couldn't speak. She's been that way for 17 years and was in massive amounts of pain. She died on 4th December 2008 from a massive morphine overdose that she gave herself with her mum's help.
This video is of a song I have written both the words and chords for, and plan to do a better one (maybe the illusive up strum will make an appearance!) for the anniversary of her death coming up in December this year. What I'm asking from you guys, is to a) not share the video anywhere and b) give me honest critique on whether it all sounds okay, whether I should change any of the chords, what could be better about it. I want to honour my friend through music and as I still consider myself a beginner in this lovely thing called Uke'in I'd like all of your more experienced opinions.
You are the only people with whom I have shared this link, as I trust your advice.
Thank you all
Joey
