Hello Steem Friends,
I remember when this song came out about five years ago and I could regularly be seen rocking out to it in my car! I hadn't tried playing it on the ukulele before today, but decided to give it a shot.
I feel like the real purpose and heartbeat of this song is the percussive back beat. I rarely try to do a more interesting strum pattern and sing at the same time and WOW, it was much harder for me than I thought.
It took me a couple hours of practice, but I really like how it sounds with the percussive strum pattern. This recording isn't perfect, but I hope you guys enjoy it!
I chose this cover photo because after struggling with this song for a while, I didn't have a lot of energy for a creative cover shot. We all have those days, right? :)
Here are the lyrics:
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad it was over
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Thanks so much for listening! Love you guys.
