your happy song

UkuLeLesReggAe · Oct 6, 2010

what's your happy song? I'm always too depressed, drained all the passion out of every song I've ever heard.... and they are no longer happy songs, ha ha, I need new ones, and fast !

Hey, 'Tiptoe' is a great song. Others begin smiling as well.

Oftentimes it's the 'new' song I'm working on. In this case, "Ku'uipo ika he'e pu'e one".

Sorry, I'm still not 100%, coming off some kind or respiratory ailment.

Hope it sounds OK.

Keep uke'in',

Blues. Seriously.

Try a toe-tapper like San Fransisco Bay Blues, it's kazoo friendly too if you have one of those...

I love the old songs and gravitate toward them every time I have a session. One that really gets played a lot is Love Letters in The Sand. When my DW and I were dating I wrote her a love letter in a sandy dry creek bed. The next morning after a monsoon It was gone accept for I love you so it is a song that always brings up happy memories for us.
