Lyrics

I was trying to fight the waves Wearing myself out Day after day

Then I lightened up the load Let go of everything Weighing me down

Now I'm floating on the water Cause I learned to stop fighting the fear My body's feeling lighter Cause I've got new breath in my lungs

When the sky is turning gray The thunder clouds roll I can't see the shore

My hands are reaching out The less I have to hold The more I have to gain

Now I'm floating on the water Cause I learned to stop fighting the fear My body's feeling lighter Cause I've got new breath in my lungs

Wonderful sounding uke and vocal tone. Fantastic delivery. I like the extended metaphor and a lesson for all of us. 🙌🎶

Assuming this is a baritone ukulele? It's got a lot of great low end. I think a lot of us can connect with the feeling of these lyrics. Particularly like "The less I have to hold; The more I have to gain". Your vocal quality here is just right. Nice job.

The melody really mirrors the floating imagery you've conjured. There's an unresolved but yet positive vibe to the whole song. When you change the cadence on "Now I'm floating..." is a nice surprise. I personally wanted to hear it resolve but I think that's the point of the lyric - being at this point where possibility is in front of you - you've got new breath in your lungs.

Really nice voice and song! It's got nice chill feel to it that goes well with the title. Nice job!
