Ok so it's 1min 45 secs but there's a bonus track of 29mins of swearing  ::)

I really hope someone else does this one . . .

Oh and it's a bit low for me but it's the only key I could play it in  ;D

I don't think I know that song....but if I did... I don't need to ever hear it again... as in any other version...
Fantastic job.  And you are funny....the 29 min bonus track thing....

Actually, the song suits you very well and while I am by no means a ukele fan, the simple strumming underpins the vocal nicely.
Yes, a semi-tone higher, for example, would have given you a little more comfort on the lower notes, but again, the breathy, almost speaking-voice vocal parts are equally sincere (sometimes we concern ourselves a little too much with "singing" and risk losing the "feel" of the song, I think it is more important to be sincere than worry about being technically 'perfect'.
The tempo sounds to me very close to the original - or at least to a version I am familiar with - and I think if I was to record it - which isn't likely - I would slow it down just a little.
Having said all that I think this is one of the very best things you've done.
Heg.
There is a beautiful symphony playing within us all..

I actually thought you might do A House is Not a Home - but this would be equally as good  ::) ;D

Hi Hilary. Nice simplistic cover of this classic song and the emotive quality in your voice shines through. Yeah, perhaps it is a bit low in key for you but having said that, singing softly and low like this adds a nice sultry, sexy quality to the song. Great job; well done.

Beautifully intimate version, Hilary. I think it works well in this key for you.
I thought about doing this one. I'm glad you did instead.  :)
There are only three kinds of drummers. Those who can count, and those who can't.

I'd love to hear your version Frank!

Impressive use of the uke, once again.  (I gotta get me a uke and learn how to play it).
You've done a great job with this classic. (I'd like to hear the bonus track  ;) )
