What song is this?

shanmoon · Jun 13, 2019

There's a beautiful instrumental song on this HMS demo video: https://vimeo.com/329914277.

I swear I have haerd a variation of it on one of my uke albumns but for the life of me I can't remember the title. Does anyone recognize this tune?

Update: Specifically the song at the beginning Tobias is playing.

Can you provide a timestamp for the beginning of the tune you're asking about?

Which portion are you referring to? Tobias, Kalei, or Corey? The song Kalei is playing is tormenting me, because I recognize it; just can't name it.

The first song is Smile though your heart is aching
Second: if a picture paints a thousand words
Last song is yellowbird

Well done. I only knew "if a Picture Paints a Thousand Words".

Great playing by all. I love when the camera scanned up to the top of the first guy's head, quite an up-do!

I never knew that first song was apparently written by Charlie Chaplin? And performed by Nat King Cole: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ebW32c4_q8

Here's another, with a link to TAB https://jordaneldredge.com/blog/charlie-chaplins-smile-ukulele-solo/

Anyone have the tab for the fingerpicking version? It's lovely.

Thanks for all the links. I'm going to have to add this one to my "want" list.

Yeah, that was a definite distraction. That a lot of hair, and a lot of work went into it.

Oops, sorry, I was in the wrong post when I added a link. Didn't mean to step on yours in the tab section.

Here is another tab, from Michael Lynch, on his website:

No problem. It's always nice to have a couple of variations.

The second song is actually "If", written by David Gates and recorded by him and his band, Bread, back in the 1970s. "if a picture paints a thousand words" is the first line of lyrics in the song.
