Feb 2022 ukulele superskirmish
A little bit late, but I couldn't miss the last Sunday skirmish!
I've been having trouble with lyrics lately, so I figured why not just write and sing about what I was doing in the moment.
Sitting at the window, playing my ukuele
these words came to me, they just made me happy
sitting at the window
Sitting at the window, playing my ukuele
birds were singing with me, they just made me happy
sitting at the window
Sitting at the window, playing my ukulele
it’s a Sunday kind of free, just makes me happy
sitting at my window
Sitting at the window, playing my ukulele
better than therapy, just makes me happy
sitting at the window
Sitting at the window, playing my ukulele
you could sit here with me, that would make me happy
Sitting at our window

So simple so light and so uplifting !
That song gave me a smile.
Ukulele is like a window in its way : it let the light in and opens to the world.
Thank you that peacefull bit of sunshine : I'm gonna use it as a bedtime relax and sleep well lullaby.

Lovely happy song, Chip. I've missed it. I think you didn't put the number of the skirmish which helps to find your song :) Very nice singing and playing. Paints a happy picture. Much better than gloomy one I've come up with. You are right, it was about the past and missing someone dear. Last year I lost two dear to me people and I lost more dear people earlier so the piece is sad and lonely. After creating so many lonely and sad compositions I felt like rotating into something positive and your song really resonates with me.

What a nice take on the way that it doesn’t take much at all to be happy. Great to capture that feeling like this.

It's a good thing to do what makes you happy. Even better if it fits a skirmish prompt.

A real time Chip song! Nice happy song! Just right for me here this morning after such bad weather here! Chirpy and enjoyable!
@richardmasters Feb 2022
Nice tune and the self-refernce made me smile - maybe include a bridge about writing a song whilst playing your ukulele? :)

Yes, sometimes the simpler the better. This is lovely and a great tribute to our beloved little instrument. You should join us on the Seasons of the Ukulele at the Ukulele Underground Forum. A weekly challenge to perform songs on a theme on the Uke (+)
