HOW TO MAKE UKULELE MUSIC SOUND SAD
Here's how I do it.
1. Play it slower than you feel you want to.
2. Sing deeply and breathily.
3. Put a croak in your voice, like you're on the verge of tears.
4. Sound like you know what the song means.
5. Leave some silences.
6. Put in a dainty little counter-melody.
7. Don't play too many notes.
8. Pick a song about sickness or premature death.
9. Sing quietly and get close to the microphone.
10. Don't ever smile or laugh.
Not entirely serious - but it works.
