"All Be Told" a Hook original

[Hook]

I've been buying alot of used cds & records recently & re-connecting with some music from different stages of my life and it inspired these lyrics. Drums are garageband, Kala Tenor Archtop uke, Ibanez A/E bass. Oh and the harmonics are my uke...
1 distorted uke (stereo)
1 clean uke
1 drums (stereo)
1 bass
1 uke solo(stereo)
1 lead vocal
1 background vocal
3 bridge vocals

All Be Told

written & performed by Hook

Robert recently reminded me
of all the ships in my sea
The  friendships, the relationships, the hardships
It's time for me to take ownership
Time to steer my own ship

It makes me try to pin point when
I 1st began to write it all down
When my pen finally found this paper
strong enough to hold
& let my stories
All be told

Surprisingly it's head did rear
Disappear Fear now in my ear
It takes me back so many years

Was it REM, I used to listen to alot of them
Was it Morrissey, I always liked it when he'd sing off key
But only when it was Johnny Marr on guitar
Was it U2, I could go back farther
To Motley Crue, a 13 year olds memories of a concert
I never should have been allowed to go to

That's some talent! Let me reiterate... That's some talent! You're doing so much with such a simple setup. Hearing these songs of yours almost make me want to buy uke, but i'm not going to do so (or i'll end up on my wifes hitlist and i'm not talking about songs ).

Such a cool song and i especially liked the lyrics. Would have been great to see Mötley Crüe in their heyday! Now i'll gladly pass on them

[StephenM]

first off...this Rocks!  Rocks hard too...
those lyrics are off the charts...the guitar sound I love to the moon and back..
isn't it fun to take a look at all the music that has been part of your life (indeed mine as well)...
the Motley Crue thing was funny as well...and the little shouts/squeals or whatever they are called...neat o

this is really good Hook...

I had to a double take to check the list of instruments.
Wow dude. You get a ton of mileage out of that uke!!
Awesome tune. Rocks hard. 

[Farrell Jackson]

You've really rocked this up proper with your Uke...wow! Great lyric, vocals and vocal production!

[Groundy]

You are certainly on the ball hook, one amazing musician. Love this..
Rock my friend... Alex

Rock on Hook I'm doing the same thing can't get enough old music and enjoying the reminiscing must be a mid life mind you I'm way past the mid it must be just a life crisis 

[TPB]

If you had told me years ago that a Uke could rock I would have chuckled after joining this site and hearing all the amazing stuff you do with the Uke I am a believer.  Even with that said this has really brought it up several notches well done brother Rock on

The uke sounds crazy good with distortion on it. Why didn't more heavy bands pick one up 

Brilliant little song too, great to read along to and that chorus really hits the heights. Love the leads here, anthemic to the core. Great stuff

[Greeny]

Loved the chords straight from the off. Gave me 'What's the Frequency Kenneth' vibe. Happy, bouncy and soaring. Another towering - and brave - vocal performance. Incredible that it's done on ukes. That chorus is absolutely epic - so damn good. Rock on!
