For some reason, I've never really thought of this song as a ukulele cover, but earlier today I was looking up the "Top ukulele songs" and this one came up! My favorite website for getting ukulele music is ukutabs.com and they do a great job of posting various lists such as "Top 100 ukulele songs of all time" and "Top 100 Ukulele Songs Today". They keep these lists updated and so it's a great spot to check out what's happening in the ukulele world.
They also just have a really great interface, with the chords clearly laid out at the top and the ability to easily transcribe the music. This is a real game changer because sometimes songs are in a really difficult key to either play or sing and simply going down a half step can make all the difference. I promise that i'm not sponsored by this website... just a big fan! :)
I like this song because it is about a tortured soul that is just looking for human connection - no matter where it comes from. Even though he's paying for the affection of another, it somehow makes him feel more human and less alone. I think it's a beautiful and sad song all at the same time. I had a lot of fun making this cover and I hope you guys enjoy it!
Ps... do you guys like my bookshelf? I am running out of "creative" spots to film in my small apartment, and I thought the bookshelf made a great backdrop!
Here are the lyrics.
Guess it's true, I'm not good at a one-night stand
But I still need love 'cause I'm just a man
These nights never seem to go to plan
I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand?
Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me
Why am I so emotional?
No it's not a good look, gain some self control
And deep down I know this never works
But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt
Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me
Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me
Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me
Thanks so much for listening! <3
