The Lumineers - Instrumental Ukulele Medley

Three guys head east on a road trip across the United States. Set to the tune of an instrumental ukulele medley of some feel-good folk songs by The Lumineers!
This video was shot over the course of a week as I drove across the country from Hollywood to rural Massachusetts with two friends following a semester of school on the west coast.

Tabs are now available! Link in the description. 🙂

BananaCactus Ukulele question about the tabs. What is a low G?

[@banana.cactus]

A standard ukulele is tuned GCEA, with the G string actually being the second highest pitch. In low G tuning, the G string is tuned an octave lower so that it is the lowest note. You can still play the tabs in standard tuning, it'll just sound a little bit different because the G string will be an octave higher.

[@izzybernstone881]

Great work man. I really hope you go far with this in life. Our generation as kids (14 years and up) need more music like this. The world is getting stuck into all this music involving money and drugs. This brings peace and adventure... very nice covers youve done. Have a great day :)

[@FourteenPillars]

I reeeeeally wish you had each of the songs completely covered 😫

[@Mcblender23]

Its bee so long since you have posted this and I am learning the ukele, what does it mean when in sleep on the floor towards the end on chord E there is a 7/5/3 does that mean you strum instead?

[@syifaarlin4484]

You give me faith in humanity

[@SuliLaura]

This could be the perfect ad for Honda!

[@banana.cactus]

Haha, I think there may be a few too many Subaru shots for that. I should make a Honda-only cut and pitch it to their ad team.

[@TheLoveInsight]

Your music makes me so freaking happy. Keep up the good work! And thank you so much for making my favorite music to listen when I need to relax!

[@banana.cactus]

Ahhh thank you! Glad it helps you relax.

[@ladyfabianita]

Gracias a vos llegue aquí 😍😍 siempre escuchaba la canción del final de tus videos y no sabia de quien era.

[@A2Pictures]

How do you not have a million subs? You deserve them!

[@izatreichel9771]

I just find myself comming back to this video every so often ´cause I just love it so much

[@Junior-gf7hi]

It sounds so dreamy and beautiful, I feel just like I got back in time, in my childhood, in the time of dreams and pure feelings

[@banana.cactus]

Those are the feelings I'm trying to hold onto in my life. Glad you had that reaction.

[@sarasofiarestrepovillalba1565]

It is so beautiful to see people who also like The lumineers a lot, I hardly see anyone who likes them as such, but when I see them I am happy and it makes me want to share the songs with that person, I have always wanted it Always love The Lumineers! Because is fantastic

[@4estherv]

I don't think I can explain how insanely happy this video makes me. You did an awesome job. I can't stop listening to these covers, and the video is actual perfection. It's all my favorite vibes in one :)

[@frogsview]

[@ankitashilpa6022]

Stubborn love sounded the best 😍

[@jadeboldrini1582]

I've been watching this for the past year and I can't help thinking how freacking good would it be if you made another vid like this for their other songs/new songs Your rock dude, come back.

[@avalowen4993]

This is seriously amazing

[@tiffanyistall]

Even when I drift away from their music to different genres, I always end up coming back and feeling the love for The Lumineers. Lately getting into playing the ukulele more, so this video and your tabs are making my heart so happy. Thank you.

[@o0xSoCaLbAbEx0o]

I don't ever write comments on here, but I just needed to share that I absolutely love this. Please don't ever stop what you're doing. You may not have the MOST followers right now, but you will in time. You are incredibly talented. Thank you for this medley, I'll be using it for the video I'm making for my best friends bridal shower video.

[@banana.cactus]

Ahh thank you so much for writing that, it really means so much to me. And thanks for choosing to use the medley for the video, hope it comes out well!

[@jurgeneichelbaum3015]

I've discovered your videos last week and, boy, I've listened to this medley some 50 times during this week. Very, very well arranged, played and recorded. I'm sharing this with everyone I know, because it's too good to have too few views.

[@banana.cactus]

Aw man, thanks so much. I really appreciate that. Glad you're enjoying it so much!

Thanks so much. That's super cool to hear! I haven't listened to much from the Avett Brothers - I'll have to check out some more of their music. Any recommendations for songs/albums to start with?

[@tobiaswe5483]

@@banana.cactus If I had to pick three songs, I would choose 'Laundry Room', 'Live and Die' and 'I and Love and You'. :)

Çoook güzel ukelele ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😍😍😍😍😍

[@barbi6461]

I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress With my father in a casket, I had no plans, yeah And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet And it hardened like my heart did when you left town But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time While the church discouraged, any lust that burned within me Yes my flesh, it was my currency, but I held true So I drive a taxi, and the traffic distracts me From the strangers in my backseat, they remind me of you But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce But I've read this script and the costume fits, so I'll play my part I was Cleopatra, I was taller than the rafters But that's all in the past now, gone with the wind Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom It's a bed and a bathroom And a place for the end I won't be late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time

[@ilistentomusiccauseitmakes2172]

Wow, that was brilliant. Please could you do a tutorial or make a tab for it, love the medley

[@banana.cactus]
