LYRICS I want someone, or something to inspire me Someone, or something to light a fire in me Don't wanna fade into this armchair, as the sun set low I wanna warm my heart upon its fiery afterglow REF: I want to feel that something insiiii-iiddee of me Fumblin rollin cigarettes, spitting at the moon and then Drunken broken promises on phone calls to my friends What am I doing here, with all these broken men Wanna grab life by the horns, lick the spoon clean - dive right in REF I've got wit and grit, pretty manly bits, and a muzzled roar Don't wanna skulk home, iron my shirts, pine at my front door No lock could ever hold me, once I towered 6 foot four This trickle over rocks was once a mighty waterfall REF Bandaid this fractured skull, bust outta this cocoon Dance the night away till sun peels back the moon Rage like dylan thomas, croak like edgar allen poe Every ounce of goodness carved into my bones REF

GOOD SIR, can i ask you the tuning you're using? are you just barring the 5th and 7th? this is beautiful and id love to learn it :) seems like something i could learn at my stage, those harmonics at the end. UMMFFFF so good
@fidelmonkmusic5 ай бұрын
Hey thanks for the kind words. I have to admit, it was just a little bit of a bastardized version of how I played it on guitar. But I had a newish banjo and wanted to mess around with it. It is just regular G tuning and the the 5th and 7th is where I was playing the C and D chords (it's a great 3 chord song). Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about learning it. :)

Hey Fidel! Was scrolling through KZbin and found the new ukulele cover you posted and thought it was amazing! Was wondering if you’d be interested in being involved in a charity livestream where a bunch of singers/songwriters come on and show off their talent but at the same time, we’d be raising money and awareness for YoungMindsUK which is a mental health charity I’ve been raising money for for the last month! If this is something you’d be interested in, I can tell you a bit more about the online event! Get back to me Dom :)
