"This Abyss" a Hook original (1st recorded on Alvaration Idea Uke)

Recorded this earlier this evening in my driveway while my kids rode their bikes. The lyrics were written a few days ago and i've been finger picking this on the new custom Alvaration Idea Baritone uke https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=25136.msg305753;topicseen#new (strung with high strings) since I got it on Sat. I found a recording level for the pickup and it definitely helps, this has a little clipping that I leveled out in audacity but I'm very pleased.
Interestingly enough, when I plugged the pre-amp into my laptop, the folder popped right up. The one in my guitar still isn't recognized.

This Abyss

written & performed by Hook

I think I just broke my brain
and I've lost myself again

And no matter what it is
that pulls me into this Abyss
I sink straight down
to the bottom

I can't perceive the pain
that I know I'm constantly in

And no matter what it is
that pulls me into this Abyss
I sink straight down
to the bottom

The Alvaration Uke is a great idea Hook! The song is too. It's looks like you did a fine job of fitting it into the Baritone Uke....looks like it belongs there.....you're a mad scientist...in the best of ways!
