"Watercolor Sister" by Shani blue (me)

[henriness]

This was the first song I ever saw you play when I first met you over a year ago at CHUG. Wow! Has it been that long? I remember feeling kind of emotional when hearing you sing it then and that feeling came back watching it now. Voice of an angel Shani. :)

[UncleVRoy]

[shanifawni]

thank you sir!

[sahbapasta]

duuuuuuuuuuude!!!!!

stop being so awesome already!

this video is amaaaaaazing! love it love it love it!

how did you bring in the xylophone sounds? (if it is a xylophone at all)

love!

[shanifawni]

hahahahaha Sahba, your energy is thrilling. thanks!

its actually a glockenspiel, or as i got introduced "bells"

the only reason i have em is b/c its what they give to drummers when they first start out, so they know the keyboard and it prepares them for xylophoney type stuff, i assume..oh my brother is a drummer, not me.

but i exported the sound from the vid and used it in garageband to record the glock track over it, then pu tit back in imovie and meshed the two! magic!!

[sahbapasta]

awesomeness! :)

[dancingskittle]

i love this. can we do a vibes/uke duet or something? i have a tiny glock we can do one on too. hehe

[shanifawni]

YES. yes we can. that'd be awesome

[russbuss415]

really great stuff Shani! love the lyrics.

[shanifawni]

Thank you Russs

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Terrific singing Shani. Love the bell.

[shanifawni]

Thank you Ken!!

[shanifawni]

hahaha thanks!! i like that word fine :)

[usseryroad]

love this song - new to me as well. loved the bells. so your name is Shani... i did a search and apparently it's a common name in Swahili as well (meaning wonderful). it's a common israeli name too meaning Crimson in Hebrew (i'm israeli), pronounced Shu-neE (with a stress on the E). don't know how you pronounce yours... have fun!

[shanifawni]

yeah? i think my parents discovered it as an African name so Swahili makes sense, i've heard it means 'marvelous' which is pretty much the same as wonderful, haha.

oo! i have a part Isreali friend, but she never told me that! that's cool. like just kinda shaw- nie, probably more emphasis on the "shaw"

but people always mistakenly pronounce it 'shanney" cause its spelt Shani. haha

thank you! glad you like it!

[herseyb]

fantastic job, i got chills. :) Way to do more than eat ice cream.

[shanifawni]

hahahaha yeah... the ice cream was pretty inspirational though. i actually did this the other night but did the glock track today...after the ice cream.

thanks Ben!

[ukeshale]

wow, stunning. beautiful in every way. loved it

[shanifawni]

thanks ms. jones. yep. that's defffinitely what i'm calling you from now on.

but really, thank you!

[GrumpyCoyoteTunes]

Holy crap kiddo - goose bumps. Just a perfect song.

"crop circle children gangs of cults weaving in our farmyard backyards

but circles are all solid and good"

I wish I could write like that...

Wow.
