@HelenaDestiny I can send them to you if you like! :) Would you like just the chords or how to pluck it like I do? Can email you, so let me know! It's based a lot around C and F by the way :) xxxxx

[StubyStubyDoo]

Steph - you are no beginner in the uke'n stakes. Simple - but oh so slick.

Lovely song. I'm jelous - I still can't finger pick

[futreslayer300]

@StubyStubyDoo thanks so much Stu I'm glad you like the song!! well the finger picking ability has come from quite a few years of playing guitar, so i guess that's an advantage, you can do it if you wanted to learn!!xxx

[tiloux14]

[1catbob]

Good song, Steph! Your "Okay Life" seems to have feelings coming straight from the heart. I'm okay with that! By the way, my daughter has a ukelele and just loves it. It is one of her all time favorite things to have :)

All the best to you,

Bob

[futreslayer300]

@1catbob Thank you Bob, of course, always from the heart!! Awww, yes the ukulele is really cool so far, I hope my love for it will grow!! :) It's definitely really fun! And cheap too, maybe everyone should have one :) xxx

[karlake2]

Sounds great! Great song, performance and uke arrangement!

[futreslayer300]

@karlake2 Thanks Karl, glad you like! :) xxx

[wooddragon45]

I've never been keen on the instrument and there are (to me) very few pieces that blend well with it...this one does, it's exactly the right sound and is the perfect compliment to your excellent vocals...lovely composition...

5/5* Fav

[futreslayer300]

@wooddragon45 I'm glad you like Dragon, and that you think the ukulele works with the song, I started writing it on the ukulele and kind of let the instrument inspire the rest of it!! :) Thanks, hope you're well. xxx

[HelenaDestiny]

I'm sorry.. But I think all of your views are from me. :( Please forgive me, but I keep raping the play button :( I just love this song and this perfomance so much! :)

[futreslayer300]

@HelenaDestiny Hehehe, please please don't apologise!! I'm very happy you're enjoying the song :D !!

[selfometer]

Well Steph...what can you not play? Yes, anything and everything because whatever you do, you put your heart and soul into it and...magic happens. You reach out and touch people's hearts and minds in all your songs. It's the difference between mere talent and genius and, to me, you are a beautiful genius. You have no choice but to keep up the good work. Love xxx

[rlouie]

way to think outside the box Steph!!!!!! I loved it!!!!!

[futreslayer300]

@rlouie Thank you, I'm glad you liked!!!!! :) Hehe xxx

[beestonpoet]

God Steph... I blink an you got another new song up lol .. This one is another good one an getting deeper writting about topics like 'life' & ''whats it all about?'' How much control do we have over how it goes an how long etc .. You sound like you're questioning you're purpose ..aint we all? I think the uke sounds great . The melody an the vocal is lovely an has a subtle engaging quality to it .as in it aint forceful or remotely demanding ..An leaves it upto the listener whether they dive in

[futreslayer300]

@beestonpoet Lol you can talk though you write hundreds of songs!!! I think you've got the kinda thoughts I were thinking Lee though!! I'm glad you like the melody and vocal, thanks for your thoughtful comment, much love xxxx

[superleomusic]

Steph ;That inspires you to such good compositions ???

great song !!!!!

[futreslayer300]

@superleomusic Muchas gracias Leo!! :D Estoy feliz te gusta mi cancion!! :) xxx

[017mls]

Beautiful lyrics and lovely vocals! And a fantastic job on your new instrument!!

[futreslayer300]

@017mls Thanks so much!! :) I'm glad you like it!! xxx

[jugnutgut]

[futreslayer300]

@jugnutgut of course not! NEVER in a million years! :) thank you rob xx

[mscht24]

[futreslayer300]

@mscht24 thanks chas :)

[0258jtj7]

Nice. Very nice.

[futreslayer300]

@0258jtj7 Thank you! :)

[TheWalrusWasDanny]

I can't deal with a UKE! You've done it well..the vocal is the confident thing..wanna hear it properly though!!! The vocal is the thing that grabs me Steph...you can bloody well sing. Cracking.

[futreslayer300]

@TheWalrusWasDanny THANKS Danny! I'm glad you think so! That's what I liked about the uke with this song, I can really sing my heart out then! :D Hehe. xxx

[TheWalrusWasDanny]

@futreslayer300 Yeah but I wanna hear it with yer axe!! George Harrison was a uke fiend..but I mean he was a guitarist...I think the song would come to life more with yer confident guitar skills...Can't knock the vocal Steph never can...you have an element of genius re the vocal..but then we all know that eh?

BTW I'm doing every 60's number one as my new mission..if you'd like to bagsy one I'll dedicate it to ya..be aware I've done all the fabs songs!!! Working my way though the 60s as I type

[futreslayer300]

@TheWalrusWasDanny Good luck with your mission Danny!!! Well well well....I've just had a quick look..Pretty Woman? Or I'm a Believer possibly?? :) Looking forward to your vids. Thanks for your comment may have to try the song with the guitar! xx

[TheWalrusWasDanny]

@futreslayer300 Which one do you want? PW or IAB???

Danny

[futreslayer300]

@TheWalrusWasDanny PW!! :) x

Lovely job on your first ukulele song. For what it's worth, I think this song works well on a uke.

[KalaMoteeyl]

[Rayqiaoza]

Lovely melody.

[TheOriginalTinyT]

Heehee, this is lovely :)

Like people have said, the lyrics and the uke complement each other really nicely to create a really beautiful and relaxing song.

Very well done, you should be proud! :D

[cadwalladee]

It is a beauty of a song, Steph! I really like your lyrics in this one! The uke fits in really well with the summer-like ambience and the trickle of water in the background! Doesn't sound out of tune to me at all!

[futreslayer300]

@cadwalladee I actually wrote half of this song outside, so thought it was quite fitting!! :) Thanks Scott as usual xxx

[shadow55921]

That's really superb for a beginner! And this is a really fantastic song!

[futreslayer300]

@shadow55921 Thank you I'm glad you think so!! :)

[TUCKERZONE]

Excellent Steph Have a Great Easterxx

[futreslayer300]

@TUCKERZONE Oh yes of course!! You too Nidge xxx

[wildesentertainment]

Give steph a stringed instrument and she will play it :D

[futreslayer300]

@wildesentertainment Hehe not quite!! Soooo, what instrument next? Lol. Love ya xxx

[wildesentertainment]

@futreslayer300 you should try a cello, that would be interesting or a harp that would be awesome

[futreslayer300]

@wildesentertainment maybe one day!! i was thinking a mandolin might be cool, or a banjo, anything haha. but im not a multi instrumental genuis or anything! a uke is easy, you should totally get one! :D xxx

[patgmoran]

Yesssss.....so very good. So I am watching YT videos and a message pops up on my phone...a new original by futreslayer300...couldn't have been better timing to watch one of my favorite YT artists. I really love the lyrics in this tune. With the steady pluck of the uke ( sounded like a seasoned pro to me) you were free to use your vocals with no attachments. You have lots of talent Steph. Keep inspiring me. Into your playlist it goes.......

[futreslayer300]

@patgmoran Thank you sooooo much Pat :) I'm really glad you were exciting to watch a video from me!! Hehe I'm really glad you like the lyrics and the plucking of the uke, the plucking was a later change!! OH & The Playlist sounds cool :D You're an inspiration too :) Thank you xxx

[CJandthebreakfast]

Lovin the Uke.

[futreslayer300]

@CJandthebreakfast I'm glad!! :) 

[POST003]

Yeaaah, Ukulele time !!

Steph, this is once more a very beautiful song.

Love it !!

[futreslayer300]

@POST003 Yeaaaah! :) Hehe, thanks so much Pat xxx

[Mendips251]

Love this. Great song and performance.

I thought the uke playing was excellent.

Peace
