Lyrics by the ever-versatile @caseewilson on the oddities of apartment life in a foreign country! Pretty much instantly suggested a tune to me, so I grabbed a barry uke and had a go.
I'll record a clearer demo if I get the chance tomorrow, but not sure I can count on it... diction needs work.
Chords:
D D7 G E7 A7
D F# Bm D7 G A7 D
F# Bm
E E7 A Bbsus#4* A
*or "Bb with the note E on top" in plain English.
Note from Casee: Thanks for this David! I love what you've done with the lyrics :D
My next door neighbour's always angry
I hear him yelling through the wall
But he speaks Spanish, I speak English
So I can't understand at all
The man next door is always angry
But in a tongue I don't yet speak
I hear him shouting about 'water'
(Or maybe 'sponge'? Or maybe 'leak'?)
The man next door is always angry
He uses words I do not know
I'll need a better grasp of Spanish
To understand what irks him so
My next door neighbour's always angry
He'll have a heart attack one day
Maybe by then I'll have the Spanish
To tell him help is on the way.

This is such a lovely collab. Love the uke and vocal. Perfectly compliments the humour within the lyrics. #tit4tat

This is how I felt on lonely nights in the hotel rooms. People in the neighbouring rooms calling their relatives or having their TV too loud. Happy that you used more than 3 chords. #tit4tat

Yay! This was a delight! Such an unusual subject for a song but I could picture that angry next door neighbour clear a a bell. The melody is beautifully constructed and your voice so gentle and conversational. I really enjoyed this. :)

I enjoyed this amusing little tale! It's so relatable to anyone with a neighbor! Good, catchy tune and vocal. The uke is perfect for it! Good collab!

This flows so well and I really love your vocals on this! And the line about the water/leak/sponge is sadly funny. Wonderful slice of life tune!
