"How Not To Be Sad" a Hook original

[Hook]

This weeks offering from Nissan Sentra Studios (mostly ). I started this one on Tuesday with the uke part. I used 4 different drums sounds from thumbjam, no loops all played through live with my fingertips. I really love the way the psychedelic uke solo just after the 2 min. mark, I used the THIRDZ! effect... it makes me smile! All done in the car except for the uke solo & mastering done poolside this afternoon!

1 rythm uke
4 percussion tracks (TJ)

How Not To Be Sad

written & performed by Hook

Don't you see my discomfort?
Don't you see my pain?
Can't you find the right things to say?
Is it all really so confusing?

I don't know
 Where it is
I don't know
How not to be sad

Doesn't your 6th sense focus on my 5?
Are you ready & alert to take over when I can't drive?
Does your fire burn on the out or the inside
Will you be safe when where hit with the tide?

Chorus

Don't you feel secure, you just brim with confidence
Does that smile hurt; I think I know where it's been
I'm sure you'll find the right words to say
Is it so confusing?

That's creativity how you use effects on uke! The uke sounds so unreal in a positive way! Nice stuff, hook!

Love the production Hook, if you haven't done so already, check out a band called Beirut, my favourite "Uke" outfit. This stands shoulder to shoulder with the best. Roscoe
