Some Song (demo)

about

After a week of "spinning wheels" following song 5, all I could come up with after the last piece was a chord progression on the ukulele... but when a "colleague" here suggested just running with that: well, why not?

Herewith, song 6, and it is what it is, really :-) Soprano ukulele (Enya EUR-X1 - recorded using one of those £5 clip-on transducer pickups, I kid you not) and vocal, with a squiggly analogue synth line courtesy of a Stylophone GEN-X1 (these are great little machines!). Recorded on my TASCAM DP-006 4-track digital "pocketstudio" - the vocal was done in my kitchen with family in the other room, hence its restrained nature.

I now have six days to come up with eight songs - a change of "tack" may be called for...

lyrics

I’d like to entertain you with some song
Conjured out of magic air
But it hid somewhere

Excuse me for a moment, or two, or three
I’ll take a bus, ride into town
And hope to track it down

Perhaps this song knows, it has an audience
Not feeling ready for one who listens
Can I convince it otherwise
I have to try…

I’d like to entertain you with some song
Please give a cheer - I’ll tell you why
She’s a little shy

I hope we entertained you with this song
Why some won’t come, I can’t explain
And so I’ll try again
