A Wish - ukulele original

[tmb0420]

The lyrics are hauntingly beautiful.

[ctrymaus]

Thank you!

[theFriendlyHughes]

Oh my gosh you wrote this?? Gorgeous!! It is indeed very Middle Age sounding. 5/5

[ctrymaus]

Yes, I did write it. :-) Maybe it's the minor key that it's in that makes it sound that way? Anyway, thank you. :-)

[SnowLashes]

That was superb. Makes me think of a medieval banquet and strolling lute musicians. Really lovely!

[ctrymaus]

Thank you! Everyone says this song sounds "old". I guess I just think in more ancient ways sometimes. :-)

[13chicken]

I see uketreehugger took the words out of my mouth, so I'll repeat them. Absolutely beautiful!

[ctrymaus]

Thank you very much!

[mjs004]

Fantastic!

[ctrymaus]

Thank you!

[YoppyKyabetsu]

Original song goodness! I am always a sucker for a good haunting minor tune. Excellent writing.

[ctrymaus]

Thanks very much! :-)

[DonfromMT]

It's very pleasing to see you writing your own songs. This is haunting.

[ctrymaus]

Thank you very much. It's gonna be kind of like Keith Olbermann and his Special Comments, though--I can only write them if I feel I must. :-D

[WhenDogsSing]

Very nice...You play and sing well...Thanks...!!!

[ctrymaus]

Thank you very much!

[uketreehugger]

this is absolutely beautiful..and full of emotion.

great job!

[ctrymaus]

Thank you!

[kc8afw]

Most excellent! I agree with Shawn...it does sound kinda like a sad sea chanty.

[ctrymaus]

Thanks! I was just going for sad. :-P

[seeso]

Lovely song. Beautiful melody.

[ctrymaus]

Thank you very much!

[damedufaubourg]

Wonderful!

Now you got me all thinking....

[ctrymaus]

Thank you. :-)

[NewMexicoDawG]

coolness!

[ctrymaus]

Thanks!

[ukeyermind]

Beautiful - made me think of a sad sea chanty

[ctrymaus]

Thank you very much. I knew it was going to be atmospheric and sad, but I didn't realize that it would seem old to a lot of folks--that pleases me. :-)

[okvolleyball]

really nice

[ctrymaus]

Thanks! :-)

[ruth7784]

Go Mousie! :-) Beautiful song! A really pretty melody and lovely words :-) Great singing and playing! I'm looking forward to hearing more originals! I love candles too, I just love fire in general though lol. X

[ctrymaus]

Thanks a lot!! I'm glad you liked the atmosphere too. :-)

[adellethegreat]

You could've told me this was an old song & I would've believed it. The lyrics, the melody, your voice- all fit together perfectly. Keep writing!!

[ctrymaus]

Thank you so much! This means a lot to me, as you are such a fantastic songwriter!

[ukeshale]

wow! an original :) you're really flying. Wonderful stuff!

[ctrymaus]

It's my second original...well, sorta. The first one was Magick Night, but that was just setting a previously-written poem of mine to music. :-) Anyway, thank you! :-)

[UnluckyMum]

Lovely song :)

[ctrymaus]

Thank you. :-)

[uke5417]

A beautifully done, timeless song

[ctrymaus]

Thank you very much!

[ken6675]

[ctrymaus]

Thanks so much!

[TheCoffeeJunkee]

Beautiful song!... Great playing and singing as well, I really like the dark atmosphere

[ctrymaus]

Thank you very much! :-)

[keonepax]

Beautiful song, and I like the atmosphere created by the darkness and that flickering light. Great video!

[ctrymaus]

Thank you! I love candles. :-)

[MrPlatypus70]

Very nice song, I like the dark lighting too.

[ctrymaus]

Thank you, on both counts! :-)

[russbuss415]

way to go! great original tune.

[ctrymaus]

Thanks!! :-)

[deach69]

Awesome video. I like the grainyness. Very nice song too!

[ctrymaus]

Thank you, thank you. :-)

[Sheepstar15]

I like it. Maybe you could just illuminate yourself with a spotlight? And keep the darkness in the background? Only a suggestion, but great song anyway :)

[ctrymaus]

I'll keep that in mind for any future dark songs. Glad you liked it otherwise. :-)

[ukecantdothat]

Good song. Personally, I like the candlelight atmos. Fits the mood.

[ctrymaus]

Thanks very much. :-)

[bunnychan22]

The song itself and the ukulele playing was really good; the video, though, was too dark, in my opinion.

[ctrymaus]

Thanks. I don't know how to have the dark atmosphere without it being *too* dark and grainy.
