Baby - by Kari (uke) and Orh (lyrics and vox) under2fest

[Redler]

Hello!

Here's the first ukulele tune I've written. I purchased uke in February and I'm a bit hooked on it   . I sent the music track to James and here we go; here's our baby   Thanks James, again.

Edit: hmm...in Audacity the duration is 1'59, but the player says it is 2 mins...?

Thanks for the listening,

Kari

Baby

Three tracks of uke. The strummed one in the center and fingerpicked panned to the left and right. I used For Nylon preset (delay off). Recorded on MBR.

Chords:

Chorus: G, Bm7, Cmaj7
Verse: F, Am, Gm, C

Baby why the funny face
Baby is it something i said

There's a look on your face tells the tale
Of a boy done wrong

There's a look on your face that sez
I should run

But i'm gonna hang around
I fancy a cup of char

Get the kettle on

Baby we can put things right
Baby i'm gonna mend my ways

So i'm gonna hang around
I fancy a cup of char
Get the kettle on

Baby i'm just a simple lad
Baby i don't mean to be bad
Baby whatever i've done
Baby i'm sorry i am

There's a look on your face tells the tale
Of a boy done wrong

yeah baby this is really lovely. A great tune to wake up to on a Sunday morning.

great sounding uke Kari!

Nice collab, guys.  And the uke sounds great.

Edit: hmm...in Audacity the duration is 1'59, but the player says it is 2 mins...?

Audacity's showing 2:00.03.  But with tighter trimming of the silence at the ends, it would be 1:58, so it qualifies.

Perhaps you saw 1:59 in the WAV file? The MP3 format pads the front of the file with a small amount of silence (around 40 or 50 milliseconds, I think). So, if your WAV file was 1:59.63 and you then exported it to an MP3 file, the additional 40 ms. of silence would make it 2:00.03.

thanks kari this was fun to do, i thought i couldn't do anything with this until i realised i had to jump right in at the beginning, with 2 minutes there is no time for an intro. watched the kinks at the beat club on sky arts the day before so i think i was heavily influenced by ray davies on this one.

Well jumped! There's no time for intros in two minutes tune

Now, I know why it is two minutes, not 1'59. I shrank it to 1'59 in Audacity, but posted 'criminal' version by chance. I can post the correct version if needed...

Cute little jingle guys.

[Tangled Wires]

Super cool little song, the Uke sounds superb Kari. The way you have mixed the strummed and finger picked parts really gives a nice full sound

Jim's vocal flows effortlessly over the top of it, and I definitely hear a Kink's influence here.

I acquired a Uke a few weeks ago...just gotta learn enough chords to write a song now

[cuthbert]

Very nice collab, fellas!

I like the trad ukulele sound you got, and find your chord structure to be very interesting! Nice happy sound in Jim's vox that matches the feel from uke, too.

[Hook]

Yep yep yep, all I can do is echo other comments, great tuneage! I love the panned uke, in fact I love the uke in general (in case you didn't know) and those 7th chords just flow out of these 4 string wonders. I also find your progression very interesting & love the vocals orh! Well done gents!
Rock on!

[launched]

Magic, guys!! The uke sounds awesome, Kari and very cool vox you brought to the table, Jim!

Yes, it's Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!
