Connecting the Dots

Challenge: PERSONAL SOUNDTRACK

Liner Notes

This has something to do with my personal soundtrack, I think! #folk #accounstic #singersongwriter #ukulele #guywithukulele

Lyrics

I used to wake to sunlit morn's, thinking that time was on my side thinking that I would have it all No one around to break my fall.

Chorus Every day, just felt so right. Walking forward, heart so free, Connecting the dots to who is me.

This is my life, my song, my way, Every step, the note I play. Every tune, the highs, the lows, The music is me wheree'r I go

Chorus

I rely on myself, I always had, Nobody got my back, never a landing pad I can cry in the dark, I can laugh in the street, II'll come up roses, somehow smellin' sweet

Life moved me in a steady stream. I could smile, Oh, ya, I could dream Never worried if one day I'd fall, No reason, no Why or Where at all.

Chorus

I'd fall down hard, then get up, No refills there for my cup No more looking left or right, I am my own, I shine my light.

Chorus

Bridge I rely on myself, I always had, Nobody got my back, never a landing pad

Chorus

Let it play, let it shine, Connecting the dots, this life is mine.

Sometimes you just need to write a jaunty uke tune about self-sufficiency. This is that tune!

I like the uke positivity! The attitude of being carefreeness makes this such an uplifting song. Strong chorus melody. Good job!

Frank-your vocals on this sound really great-very jaunty melody. Very clear narrative and message-this is a strong song with a good message.

Frank, this is one of the best I've heard from you. The strum is really lively and really cheery lyrics. Good job!

The uke accompaniment is very lighthearted and suits your lyrics. I agree, I think we are all connecting the dots, and. You seem okay with it!
