"One man band" - Original song

Hi guys,

This is the second song I've written.
It's a bit Bluesy.. I called it "One man band", as it reflects the lonliness I feel while making music alone, as well as sometimes in general.

Hope you enjoy!

Please don't mind my singing too much. I don't sing that often, and I just wrote the song the day before yesterday

Very well done, and very dark, especially when the flute comes in.

Thanks

Ironically, I actually intended it to be a happy song overall.. but so much for that!

Very nicely done! I think that was an Ocarina you pulled out, wasn't it? Awesome!

I actually just came across you rendition of "Stand By Me" which was amazing, and saw that you were playing an ocarina there as well. Wish I had 10% of that talent!

Yeah, I also play ocarina. They're great instruments, very versatile without the hassles, and fun sized.
Like the uke
