Into the Groove (a Positive Cry in Dark Times)

Liner Notes

This week on the Seasons of the Ukulele the prompt was "Aloha" - which means a lot more than Hello and Goodbye.

I read the scope of the word and the first lines of this song were formed instantly. The rest came over the next couple of days.

Instrument: 8 String Ukulele through a flanger pedal
Backing by Band in a Box

Lyrics

(G) Let's make love, compassion and (C) kindness
The well springs of our (G) lives
Reject the alternative
of (C) conflict, conquest and (G) strife
Value (Em) love over hate - honesty over lies
(D) Care over neglect - openness over disguise
Let's make (G) love, compassion and (C) kindness
The (D) well springs of our (G) lives

(C) The only revolution
That you can bring about
Will (Bm) take place in your head
That's a fact without a doubt
We can't (C) cling to old behaviours
And expect things to improve
Feel the (D) beat of change within
And get into the groove!

Let's make (G) knowledge, truth and (C) science
Our sole guiding (G) lights
Leave behind superstition
With the (C) self-aware u(G)nite
Value (Em) peace over war - empathy over disdain
(D) Sympathy over indifference
The odd over the mundane
Let's make (G) knowledge, truth and (C) science
Our sole guiding (G) lights

CHORUS
(G) Let's make love, compassion and (C) kindness
The well springs of our (G) lives (x 2)
