I'm calling this Ukeabilly Punk! Wrote this one this morning got it finished by noon. Kept it simple & used my favorite bass patch on the Pod "Angry Bastard". I did this like I did the last few, produced over a live uke/vocal, I plugged in the uke & did a mic track simultaneously, then drums & bass. I should have used a metronome but didn't, gives it that live, raw punk feel I think.
1 uke/vocal

It's Alright
written & performed by Hook
Going to try to change the world with a paper plate
And if we're all lucky then I'm not too late
Watch your back boy now it's going to get real
Crack my stem and take off my peel

It's alright
might not happen tonight
It's going to end in a fight
Over crap that seems trite

better open up those eyes in the back your head
Don't count on luck because I think your luck is dead
Pick yourself up and dust yourself off
Stop your complaining I never asked you to bend and cough

It's alright
I've got you in my sites
And when the moment is right
I'm going to turn out your light

You need to clean up your mess and take responsibility
I don't care what age you act if you act it honestly
How can you trust a picture when it speaks so silently
1000 silly words ain't nothing to me

Yeah it's alright
I work out and get tight
I'll do it all out of spite
And win you over with might

Because the Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie

On that you can rely

I love your vox here. What great energy and delivery. And using the uke here is genius. And what the hell? How creative can one person be? You keep nailing them.

Very cool performance, Hook. Great energy and perfect vocals to match.

Wow, what a tune, loving the frenetic energy of the Uke and vocal.

Liking the pauses in the music during the verses which add to the energetic feel, and how it flows into the choruses.

Rocking vocal and the not only has this song got attitude, it also has a very strong sense of melody throughout.

Loved it!
