Liner Notes

#FUC #ukulele

I finished this one late but I did get it done in about an hour. I started with a song just about snow, but it turned into a song about people in your life moving on, and you're still there (I think). Thanks for listening!

Lyrics

Falling, the snow People you know Sliding away Feeling betrayed

Even though, it's only snow That falls on you

Falling so slow All in a row Covering you There's nothing to do Even though, it's only snow Don't let go...of me

When, once again, You wish you still had a friend Even though, it's only snow That falls on you

Falling, the snow People you know Sliding away Feeling betrayed Even though, it's only snow That falls on you

It's only snow

The combination of arpeggios and strums with the uke is nice, sounds like flakes falling from the sky.

I love the thematic "falling" sound of the ukulele. This is lovely!

I really like these lyrics - I like when there is wiggle room for interpretation. Well done - and a sweet sounding uke.

Love the uke, and I really like this deceptively simple song. Great job

I like how you slid between weather and people as the focus here, and it could be both at the same time, depending upon the listener. Nice simple accompaniment for this.

Hi fellow FUC person. Even though I saw it was a FUC track I thought you were playing a piano - love the way you're playing and recording to get that effect. This is such a lovely song, really tasty chord progression, perfect for the lyric. So much potential for counterpoints and swelling arrangements. I had to listen to it twice. A top notch skirmish.

The plaintive melody, sung so expressively, and simple accompaniment are perfect for the sentiment of your beautiful lyrics. This is so pretty, and also soothing - I listed to it several times!
