GONE

Another week, another simple song. Started with some uke strumming. Added some piano and e-piano arps. Added some synth bass and percussion. Sang a couple lines. Mix, repeat, fade out, complete!

This is a nice little springtime song.  The uke is a great texture all on its own, but it combines nicely with the other elements too.  The arps are a nice touch. 

The uke sounds guitarlike. I love the vocals & chord progression (and of course the arps). It's cool that the message sounds optimistic while the music and presentation sounds ominous.

Such a catchy feel good vibe from the combo of your vocals, drum machine and uke.  Giving me spring time feels for sure smile

Thanks, I had the same feeling on this one. I didn't set out with this in mind, but afterwards it felt like maybe the snow was a metaphor for something else ... like sanity in the world lol ... it'll all be gone before too long! 😉 Maybe that's why I put those lyrics with those tones ... no idea though!

is this a baritone uke? sounds really nice in the mix.
and i like your vocal treatment. works really well with this cool melody!

Thanks jwh! Yes! It is a baritone. It's my goto instrument to pick up and play these days. Featured in week 11 again too! wink

sweet! my partner from forestlike gifted me with an old Silvertone baritone uke a few years back and i really love that thing. i need to work it into a track soon!
*sorry if i've shared this story with you before, my memory ain't what it used to be
