having dreams on a rainy day by oldrottenhead

still trying to tame the ukelele

3 tracks of uke and one of vox, still trying to tame the onboard mic.

i shouldn't happen in a month of sundays
but i can see it coming straight towards me
i stand my ground and it goes right through me
goes right through me
i toss a coin and i pray forgiveness
it's just my luck and i've got no business
having dreams on a rainy day

having dreams

things take a turn even further downhill
i've lost my heart and my hope and my will
i hang my head in shame
so i try again to pick myself back up
try pretend it's just a little hiccup
i have a dream on a rainy day

have a dream

maybe things will look better in the morning
i'm unprepared i never got no warning
i've had the wind knocked out my sails
i'll go to sleep and lay my head down
lock the door try to block out the sound
have a dream on a rainy day

have a dream

i shouldn't happen in a month of sundays
but i can see it coming straight towards me
i stand my ground and it goes right through me
goes right through me
i toss a coin and i pray forgiveness
it's just my luck and i've got no business
having dreams on a rainy day

you've found your instrument James !! Much as I love your juno-songs this is fmgwabp fabulous !!

Love it !!

[Bluesberry]

wow...wow.....WOW....yes, this deadly.  I am going to go out on a limb and say this is the best song I have ever heard from you...........sure, it could be........you vocal is really bloody good.  An album of uke tunes, great idea.  geir is right, this is your instrument.

[Ted]

With some trepidation, may I ask if there is an influence of The Police in your uke output so far?

Very nice layering.

[Hook]

Damn this is so cool! I hear sam Andy Summers going on also Ted, so it's either on purpose or one of those unconscious influences! Great lyrics, superb song!
Rock on!

[64Guitars]

This is good! Most ukulele players just seem to strum chords, so I love how you've got that little riff going on. Reminds me a little bit of Led Zeppelin's "The Battle Of Evermore". Not the same tune but a similar style. Well done.

[Redler]

You're really multi-instrumentalist, James! Three tracks of uke sounds fine! Great tune where'e the feel of rainy day. I love the atmosphere of it!

cheers guys can't say i was directly influenced by the police but at one point i was worried it was gonna sound too much like senses working overtime by xtc

[Burtog]

Wooaahh!!

Sounds fecking great, those layered Ukes kind of create a Baroque sound, very classical.

So you've has an Argos special for a day or two and your coming up with this............................git!

only had it a couple of hours
