This is my first time on Seasons of the Ukulele. What a wonderful idea. I can't believe I never found this before. Thanks for a great theme. Here's my first try with a John Prine song of Tree of Forgiveness.

Howdy, friends!!!! Thank you so much, Mikkel, for hosting this FAB week for SOTU #432! I’ve got a song that I’ve been working hard on to share! In my mind, I’m wearing 1940’s evening attire; there is a ceiling fan, spinning above my head, as I play and sing this song in a dark cabaret with a single spot-light upon me...but, alas, my lil’ at home studio will have to do (and you’ll hear my air conditioner in the background, so apologies for that in the recording!)

Thanks for hosting this one Mikkel. I'm quite happy in my own space, occupying my own time with my own thoughts for long periods of time and could happily sit this out for another year although looking at the return of chemical trails in the sky from planes and the sight of road kill once again on the roads It looks like I won't have to. I've chosen a Lennon song here purely because I would say that a huge chunk of his lyrics contained Insecurities of either rejection, loss or being left alone and Here There and Everywhere is no exception......

Hi all
Long time, no post - my lungs weren’t up to the challenge of singing.
Here is a song about being alone, and the hurt that comes from being rejected by a sweethearts or friends.
(It was released on Lorde’s 2017 album, Melodrama, and lives up to the album title’s promise!)

And hello again, Mikkel! This is absolute rubbish, but mercifully short ... I just fancied being blue! (The upshot of being blue is that my pink cowboy hat - thank you, Gina! - turned green, and my blue top turned red, I DO have the most amazing golden hair, though.) My apologies ...

Here's a Jam song I haven't done for a while. It always puts me in mind of someone living alone in a dingy flat being utterly fed up with life, maybe because that's a place I've been before. If that doesn't count, it mentions two lover missing the tranquility of solitude. And if that doesn't count, it was definitely fun and not at all infuriating to put together.
Featuring super-Bari six-string uBass and a tin bucket.

This is a song by a duo called The Wind + The Wave. A couple of years ago, I got obsessed with a live pared-down video of this song that blew me away, and I listened to it over and over:

Just heard this song and was so taken by the alone-ness of it. Hobo's Lullaby by Goebel Leon Reeves, made famous by Woody Guthrie and covered by many other artists. I played it on my 1950s Martin soprano.
Just learned this song will be played on the radio in June. Two friends of mine host a monthly ukulele radio show on a little local station. Been a discussion guest before but this is the first time they will play one of my songs.

Can you imagine trying to practice the bagpipes in secret?
There is also the Scottish Small Pipes. Much smaller and quieter than the Great Highland Pipe (which is also played by the Irish, btw). They did fall out of regular use at one point and have been revived in more recent times.
Kathryn Tickell had a Gallician Piper as a guest at a concert I was at some years ago and you're right, they're seriously loud. Some regions of France have traditional pipes which are pretty loud.

Sometimes people seek out solitude as this wonderful Graeme Miles song says.
I think I've used this song before but this is a new recording made just yesterday.

This is a song by The New Pornographers about being there for a loved one who's trying to come out of a deep depression.
