He's not you

[Hilary]

Here's my first original on the uke . . . It's short and there's the F word

He's not you - Hilary Fox

What have I done with my life?
I've spent it loving you.
What have I done with my life?
It's always been we two.
But now I've fucked up
and we are through

It's just not the same
because he's not you.

He looks a bit like you in the dark
He wears the same aftershave
He's nearly the same height
but he doesn't smell the same
no he doesn't smell the same


What have I done with my life?
I've spent it loving you.
What have I done with my life?
It's always been we two.
But now I've fucked up
and we are through

It's just not the same
because he's not you.

Bravo!!

Ahhhh, lovely.  The combination of the fragile uke sound, and your tender vocals, man, thats a great combination.  I love your backing vocals, very effective. Lovely, this reminds me of a beatles kind of song, something from the White album perhaps, the vocal harmonies maybe.

Thanks guys

love your voice on this hillary, very quirky and great playing too..

Quirky's good Stuart, I embrace quirky.

braw tell yer maw, if you are still doing the stand up the uke will be a great addition to your tools of trade.

I bought it with the intention of transferring all my musical stand-up to uke - it's easier to pick up and put down so will free me to get off the mic stand and walk about a bit for straight stand-up (and also easier to cart about on trains etc). I did, however, buy a tenor uke - it's quite slippy and requires errr negotiation around my bosom (stay focussed boys) so I'm not sure if practically it was such a great idea (probably needs a strap!) - but I am, nevertheless, really enjoying playing it.

Love it -love it -love it Hilary
great song -way too short
that uke sounds great
but it's your voice that makes it-
and your harmony

This was really beautiful Hilary. Your voice sounds so good and the harmonies are fabulous.

Great tune!  Nice flow of the lyrics.   I'm not sure what all the talk about standup is, but I'm pretty sure I can hear bossom at 1:12.
