"Old" - a Geir original

[Geir]

The only instrument used on this little ditty is the ukulele .....  well ..... and the vox ...

Uku rhythm and fake uke bass recorded in spain ... uke lead .. and vocals recorded @ cabin tonight ....

it's a song about getting old ... inspired by a birthday ... a beach and ... well .... life ...


I'll post the lyrics later


goodnight Chicago ... wherever you are !

Old

w/m: Geir
ukulele and voice: Geir

I wanna feed the pidgeons in the park
I wanna get home before the dark
I ain't gonna not wear a hat
I am going to get a cat

The grey hairs on my head
are gonna be silver, not lead
the grey hairs on my balls
will not be a problem at all

I wanna feed the pidgeons in the park
I ain't gonna get home before the dark
I ain't gonna not wear a hat
I am going to get a cat

The cracks in my face; a smile
I'll still be able to run a mile
the rooster still rising in the morning
I'll walk a long beach without a warning

I wanna feed the pidgeons in the park
I wanna get home before the dark
I ain't gonna not wear a hat
I am going to get a cat

a glass of sherry, a glass of wine
a glass of whiskey and I'll be fine
a nap at noon, an early night
a simple solution to every fight

I wanna feed the pidgeons in the park
I wanna get home before the dark
I ain't gonna not wear a hat
I am going to get a cat

The grey hairs on my head
are gonna be silver, not lead
the grey hairs on my balls
will not be a problem at all

I almost spat my coffee out when you sang 'grey hairs on my balls...', lol.

This is superb. Catchy, clever and totally Geir-tastic. Your vocal delivery is out of this world. And as for that little uke solo... f*ck yeah!

Love it.

Your number one fan, lol.

Amazing in it's creativity and production!  I'm confused about the 'fake uke bass'  Do you mean that you're using a Bass Sim patch on the 800 and driving it with the uke?? (I think that's what you mean..)  Then I 'm really impressed with the bass sim.  Sounds really clean with no artifacts.

This one was a refreshing treat this morning.

Brilliant, have checked for offending grey hair and happy to report all original colour although with my hair colouring they tend to look like two coconuts in a string bag so grey may not be a bad thing. But that's enough about me, I just love this..............Willie
