Feb 2022 folk nerd-folk baritone-uke fuc
Ever been BLOTO? That is, the kind of tipsy where you think it's a good idea to Buy Lots Of Tat Online? Me neither. Honest.
Anyway, I ordered a gadget I really don't need off the internet earlier today so this song is about how I expect to spend the next few days.
The song has been lying around unfinished for a couple of days and it turns out all I really needed was a couple of implausible rhymes for the last verse.
By the way, among the things I've ordered in the past that I never realised I needed, is an 8 string baritone ukulele. I love it. It features here.
I've been trying to write proper serious songs. I don't seem to be able to do it. Never mind.
Ten o'clock on Friday night
Another empty bottle of white
Browsing ebay, listings packed
With stuff he never dreamed he lacked
Confirmation on the way,
Package here in two days,
Waiting in for several hours,
Perhaps there's time for a quick shower
*knock knock knock*
Sorry we missed you, we'll try again later
We knocked several times and we don't trust your neighbour
I've loaded your parcel back onto the van
I'll come back tomorrow, be in if you can
Ready now for DHL,
Listen carefully for the bell,
Time for lunch, needing fed,
Better pop out for some bread
*knock knock knock*
Sorry we missed you, we'll try again later
We knocked several times and we don't trust your neighbour
I've loaded your parcel back onto the van
I'll come back tomorrow, be in if you can
Late last night, had one too many,
Woke this afternoon and then he
Drank a coffee and he saw that
Message waiting on the doormat
*knock knock knock*
Sorry we missed you, we'll try again later
We knocked several times and we don't trust your neighbour
I've loaded your parcel back onto the van
I'll come back tomorrow, be in if you can
Sorry we missed you, we'll try again later
We knocked several times and we don't trust your neighbour
I've loaded your parcel back onto the van
I'll come back tomorrow, be in if you can

This is fun, and I also enjoyed the incorporated knocking percussion. Very relatable. Nice uke playing, too. I like the baritone for variety.

Cute concept and love the delivery with the knocks and the folky strum. Nicely done!

Really well done. I like the lyrics and I think the situation is realistic but as a song it s become art. For me the knocks inside are an awesome element on top.

This is so clever, and I love how you integrated the percussive knock into the song. Brilliant.
I love the sound of the 8 string baritone. UAS is coming on strong with this as I love the sound. What did you get?
