A fun challenge, although the song did not come out as light-hearted as I would expect from a uke song! I can always rely on FAWM to get my ukes out of mothballs!
Used my Luna Tatoo concert uke and Kala baritone uke. Lead part was done on the bari as well.
Groundhog Day
Is it Monday or Tuesday
All days are the same
Thursday or Friday
Or is it Monday again
Arguments about trivialities
The fighting leaves fatalities
Another Groundhog Day
It’s the same old day
Nothing ever changes
Groundhog Day
Over and over again
Have we done this before
It’s all so confusing
Don’t want to do this anymore
Sick and tired of losing
Where’s the sense of morality
There’s no such thing as immortality
Another Groundhog Day
It’s the same old day
Nothing ever changes
Groundhog Day
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over again

Catchy melody. I felt just like your narrator in the six weeks of total lock down two years ago this week.
I wrote a song along very similar lines some five years back

I would imagine you're aware of Jake Shimabukuro. I definitely got that vibe from the intro. Nice chorus and very enjoyable uke playing!
@daveyboy103 Feb 2022
Very nice vibe to this one. Good job
@misterdemp Feb 2022
Very enjoyable listen. You really get the full range of Ukes with all these layers!

Love the melodic lead instrument! The mode is very evocative. Is that the uke?!? It sounds so full with accompaniment. My only real exposure to uke is the strumming w/singing Hawaiian kinda sound - like that big dude Israel that did Over the Rainbow. But it sounds really great as a lead instrument here! Gonna hafta look into that... Your drum programming is really good too - the fills especially sound like a live drummer. Thanks for sharing!

My favorite movie, I can quote pretty much the entire movie, much of it from memory. I don't know whether I should be proud or embarrassed.
The lead bits are great, nice Spanish flair. The ending round was a nice touch. The only way to make it better would have been to loop it for about 6 hours. :)
@whispermouse Feb 2022
Wow, that's a spicy uke. The melancholy Spanish-guitar feel is awesome!
@tseaver Feb 2022
Great write: I was smiling from the intro's "Spanish" uke sound.
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
Nice job Mike. Great beat and good use of ukuleles.
@jessicagraae Feb 2022
Beautiful, beautiful uke sounds! It pairs well with the existentialist lyrics.
@markg Feb 2022
Gypsy sound on the uke is intriguing. love the instrumental breaks. Melancholy lyrics with an upbeat tempo. LIke it.
@darcistrutt Feb 2022
The ukulele solo lines are great. The theme is timely. Harmonies coming in really add to the "Groundhog Day". This is an example for those that don't take the uke seriously. Beautiful! The ending mix of voices was cool.
@tukayandryan Feb 2022
Love the ukes! Think we can all relate to groundhog day after the last couple of years! Some lovely harmonies too
@scubed Feb 2022
Love the minor key and the great groove, and the picking is beautiful! Really enjoyed your singing, too. The lyrics are very relatable - I particularly like the chorus.
@liz561 Feb 2022
really nice beat and picking. I liked the chord progression-that minor tinge fits the desperation of "over and over again".
@billwhite51 Feb 2022
hard to be light-hearted playing minor key blues changes.even on a uke...but you can sure make pretty music

@emkaydeebee Feb 2022
Those ukes are stunning layered like that. Your vocals sit beautifully over the top, and love the harmonies coming in on Another… clever and evocative!
@the3queens Feb 2022
You've captured the essence of not only groundhog day but the current situation. I hope I live long enough to see what history says about these days. I do love the ukes and lead licks. Agree its not such a happy uke song.
