Day 4, Ukevember 2014! Talk is Cheap / Eric Hutchinson
It’s Election Day! I called it ‘Voting Day’ in the video…it also means we will get all our regular commercials back. Instead of attacking each other, they will finally defeat each other and it will be over. Until the next election.
Today’s tune is by Eric Hutchinson. I’ve done songs of his before including All Over Now and Oh! back in Ukevember 2012. Click on the song titles to see those previous blog posts.
If you have any questions on how to vary your strums for recording, or if you need help finding a strum to go with your song, please leave a comment. I would love to help!
Enjoy! Maybe you’ll see another Eric Hutchinson song tomorrow!
Day 3 of Ukevember ’12! Oh! by Eric Hutchinson
What is your life in a short story??? Have you ever tried to write a short story with a point at the end? This song narrates 5 different stories in 4 lines each. Can you do that? I’m attempting to add one at the end of our adventure today. Check it out.
Here’s a story from this morning:
Drove to the MS Walk in the dusk of the morn,
people in the crosswalk, others honking their horns,
they exclaimed, “Hey get out of the way, we’re going to be late”
the walkers said “We walk for those who can’t, for MS, did you donate?”
How’d I do that? See my ‘formula’ below 🙂
Here are the Chords and Lyrics to Eric Hutchinson “Oh!”
Here’s an outline I used to write my ‘short story’. Maybe you can submit your short story?
Line 1: What happened to you (possibly bad) and where were you?
Line 2: Describe something that happened as part of Line 1, and who you met? (ending rhymes end of Line 1.
Line 3 and 4: Interaction with the person you met in Line 2. End of these lines rhyme.
Clever? Me thinks so. Comment with yours!
That’s right. We walked for MS Society this morning. Thank you to those who did donate. Would you like to donate? Visit here.
Day 2 of Ukevember ’12! All Over Now by Eric Hutchinson
Today’s song is about moving on and letting go. Yesterday was “I Won’t Give Up” by Jason Mraz.
These are complete opposites! I think sometimes one of the hardest things to do in life is to let go. Maybe the hardest part is realizing that you SHOULD move on and let go. Or maybe the hardest part is telling someone they should move on and let go. Some people can’t have meaningful conversations…or tell someone how they feel. There are a lot of hard things in life, I guess. One of them is also writing words to a song. I love Eric Hutchinson because of his playful way of using words in his songs. Take a listen, or look at the lyrics below. After you view my top 3 reasons to play this song, of course!
