Liner Notes

My first #FUC song of the year. #girlwithukulele

This one is about several things, that for me, all sort of mesh together. I want things for myself this year - i want simplicity. I want to enjoy small moments. I want to appreciate beauty. I want to garden. I want to be kind. I want to not buy much, and be intentional when I do. I want to do it all in a slightly rebellious way. I also hope to influence others to choose kindness through small actions. I hope to influence others to do "little deeds" that empower them to live life with a calm happiness that can't be taken from them, avoiding oppression wherever they can, growing where they can, etc. I guess this is the gentlest of #protest songs.

I'm not very good at naming songs and usually just choose a lyric. Does this name work well? Wwyd?

Also, I never do this, but you can #download this one if you want!

Lyrics

The glow of the sunrise
Grows and reaches my eyes
Every morning

Makes me feel thankful
That I’m here on this earth
And still learning

I wish everyone around
Could see the pink fade to blue
And let everyone live
Whatever way they want to
I wish everyone living
Could let go and let be
But the only one that i control is me

The sparkle of the frost
That blankets everything
Is pure beauty

The plants that are frozen
Will be fine in the spring
Cycles keep spinning

I wish everyone around
Could see the frozen morning dew
And let everyone live
Whatever way they want to
I wish everyone living
Could let go and let be
But the only one that i control is me

So I have hope that all these little deeds
Will add up to something
Eventually

Hey, Katie! This is so lovely! I was waiting for a bass to drop in V2 but I think it's so great without it. It's a keeper for sure!

The glow of sunrise grows and reaches my eyes...

I checked this out because of the title and got sucked in by the opening line. You are a master of melody, singing out a message that resonates with me. I, too, have hope that all these little deeds will add up to something. Thanks for writing this sweet song.

Katie this is a lovely one. Solid soothing vibes - if the tone of your voice were a perfume it would be like cotton candy and warm lemon balm swirled together

@quoththellama 2w

This is a beautiful little protest song. I really do love your voice, and the phrasing of your lyrics here was super satisfying.

@markfulwider 2w

Man, your voice is freaking amazing! So cool! Love the uke chords too!

@tan482 2w

Oh so gorgeous! The lazy ukulele is the perfect accompaniment to your effortlessly floating vocals. Many small intentional deeds and small moments are beauty = a life lived well!

@steve_poet 2w

yeah this is lovely, obviously your voice is wonderful but i enjoy the lyrics the most here, awesome job

@iwilleatyou 2w

I'll be honest, I'm not much into music with ukuleles but the chords here are great and your voice fits this like a glove. Very nice. Kind of reminds me of the melancholy songs from the 70s (total compliment).
I'd call the song "All These Little Deeds".
