Colin R Tribe – America

Flawless, again….

YouTube Channel: ColinRTribe

His Notes: A wonderful song from Paul Simon and on the beautiful Simon & Garfunkel album “Bookends”. A fine speech yesterday in Westminster Hall from your President put it at the top of my playlist!

Butterflies
Music: Lorenzo Vignando
Lyrics: Lorenzo Vignando, Fabio Barbon
Featuring Nicola Mansutti: Violin

You can just throw away
All your options but one
You can be in the dark
Staring straight at the sun

When you’re about to win
You can give up the fight
And go help Charlie Brown with that kite

You can be in the first place
Turn and run the wrong way
You can do what you want

If you don’t care to fail

You can write a great book
And then rip every page
Love someone half or double your age

Worse or better
Doesn’t matter
At all

The smell of a bluberry tart
Cooling by the window
A melody you know by heart

You can see if you’re pleased
Planet earth as a ship
And our fears as a lack of fantasy

You can make a new moon
If you just figure it out
Don’t you know what I’m talking about

Worse or better
Doesn’t matter
Because

The loundry in the garden lies
Colorfull in springtime
Your dresses full of butterflies

And I admit
That even though you hide
I couldn’t ignore you if I tried

UncleJeff64 – Half Step Down

The patron saint of UkeToob strikes with a great original concept and song….

YouTube Channel: UncleJeff64

His Notes: i wrote this today.
i usually tune my ukes a half-step down (F# B D# G#).
being a graduate of the Dylan/Prine Kristofferson Vocal Academy, it gives me a little more room when i sing and takes a little plinkyness out of the uke itself.
i always knew i was gonna use “half-step down” for a title.
performed on my 1947 gibson tenor uke.
Happy National Ukulele Day!!!

half step down, half step down
you ain’t so far ahead of me
i’m just a half step down

i tune a little flat cause i fret a little sharp
daddy said thank god the boy never
took up the autoharp

half step down, half step down
you ain’t so far ahead of me
i’m just a half step down

only got 4 strings, only use 3 chords
you can carry a tune but i can write the words
better leave that guitar in it’s case
take that 6 string razor go shave your face

half step down, half step down
you ain’t so far ahead of me
i’m just a half step down

i tune a little flat cause i fret a little sharp
daddy said thank god the boy never
took up the autoharp

half step down, half step down
you ain’t so far ahead of me
i’m just a half step down

F# is a half step down from G
B is a half step down from C
D# is a half step down from E
and the G# stands for good lookin’!

half step down, half step down
you ain’t so far ahead of me
i’m just a half step down

Garfunkel and Oats – I Would Never (Dissect an Ewe)

A parody of their own song – is that the fabric of time and space I hear ripping?

YouTube Channel: rikilind

Their Notes: Garfunkel and Oates decided to parody one of their own songs. I Would Never (Dissect a Ewe) is a parody of their song I Would Never (Have Sex with You) by Garfunkel and Oates. Here is the original: http://youtu.be/ilOx2Jmm1r4
