Dtube Exclusive | Counting Stars by One Republic (Ukulele Cover)

Hello Steemit/Dtbue friends!

It's been a couple days since I posted a music cover on here because I've been up in Vancouver, Canada for a dance competition! I'll be posting a video from my first round of competitions later tonight - so watch out for that. :)

I am actually a dance DJ as well and so I often find my inspiration for covers from previous set lists I have DJ'd. I was going through some music and ran across this song from One Rebublic. I know it was pretty big a few years back, but I hadn't heard it in a long time and wondered how it would sound on the ukulele.

I had never tried playing it before, but it was a lot of fun! I really like the positive energy of this song and the variations in tempo throughout.

Here are the lyrics:

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars
Yeah we'll be counting stars

I see this life, like a swinging vine
Swing my heart across the line
And in my face is flashing signs
Seek it out and ye' shall find

Old, but I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
On just doing what we're told

I-I-I-I feel something so right
Doing the wrong thing
I-I-I-I feel something so wrong
Doing the right thing

I couldn't lie, couldn't lie, couldn't lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be, we'll be counting stars

Thanks so much for watching!! ❤
