I feel like I can't get enough of this song right now! It's so fun to listen to, sing along to, and dance to! I was rocking out to it earlier today and it occured to me that it might be a fun cover.
I play around with different strum patterns in this cover to accentuate the various rhythms in the music. This is something I've been working on a lot lately. I used to do a pretty basic strum pattern for all of my songs, but doing covers so regularly has really challenged me to step out of the box and expand my skill set. I don't want you guys to get bored! hehe
Here are the lyrics:
Waiting for the time to pass you by
Hope the winds of change will change your mind
I could give a thousand reasons why
And I know you, and you've got to
Make it on your own, but we don't have to grow up
We can stay forever young
Living on my sofa, drinking rum and cola
Underneath the rising sun
I could give a thousand reasons why
But you're going, and you know that
All you have to do is stay a minute
Just take your time
The clock is ticking, so stay
All you have to do is wait a second
Your hands on mine
The clock is ticking, so stay
All you have to do is
All you have to do is stay
Won't admit what I already know
I've never been the best at letting go
I don't wanna spend the night alone
Guess I need you, and I need to
Make it on my own, but I don't wanna grow up
We can stay forever young
Living on my sofa, drinking rum and cola
Underneath the rising sun
I could give a million reasons why
But you're going, and you know that
All you have to do is stay a minute
Just take your time
The clock is ticking, so stay
All you have to do is wait a second
Your hands on mine
The clock is ticking, so stay
Thanks so much for listening! So i'm curious... working on cool strumming patterns is something I've been working on to take my ukulele playing to the "next level". What is something you are currently working on to improve a creative passion of yours? I think seeing others work towards their goals is inspirational and i'm hoping we can inspire each other!
Love you guys! <3
