Come Again (original Ukulele) - Mandalyn May around the world:)

Whew! My first attempt at a music video that I could film by myself. Much bigger editing project than I thought... filmed over the last 5 months as I made my way around Ireland, the UK and the US... Dublin, London, NY, and lots of beautiful California:) Filmed using the iPhone, often set up on a rock, vine, car windshield, stack of books, shelf, etc. The audio is all from the iPhone also, there is one underlying track and then sometimes I use the sound from the video track too as an overlap:)

Also featuring my Larry and His Flask T-shirt!

Occasionally I was able to get a friend to hold the phone, and they are:
Oksana Kapitsa (New York / Staten Island Ferry)
Tiffany McCollister (Yosemite scenes)
Eric Fiel (Genghis Cohen performance)
Katie Wells & Catharine Wood (Hollywood Street Scene)
Cate McCollister (Cool, CA lake scenes - which I also used as the main audio track)
Karin Petrovich (Bronson Caves and Hollywood Sign scenes) (don't worry if you didn't see it, the sign got cropped when I set the video from iPhone to 'standard')
Sandra Dolores (Fox and Goose, Sacramento)
Gerard Fragamino (The Club Car, Auburn, CA)

yay friends!

and now for the lyrics!!
Come Again

If I write a song for you that is both sweet and slow
will you hum and hold my hand as if you'll never go?
Close your eyes and drift along to this simple melody
Let the breath between us rise for all the stars to see

I will be yours, you will be mine
both reaching for something divine
hold me until you find yourself,
then let me go, till I come again

Come and teach me something new that I've never known before
Leave your pieces and your pain behind you at the door
Here inside this little hut I like to call a home
Faith in love and life itself lie safe inside the stone

I will be yours, you will be mine
both reaching for something divine
hold me until you find yourself,
then let me go, till I come again

Caught up in the mystery of love and life, we fail to see that
all there is to have and hold just fades away and leaves the soul
You and I have so much time to learn and grow
We may come and go, but for now I know...

I will be yours, you will be mine
both reaching for something divine
I'll hold you until I find myself,
but I'll let you go, till you come again


thanks for reading the lyrics!

For those of you who are *really* paying attention, I totally sing the wrong pronouns a couple of times... but, heck, it was the one audio track that I had that matched to video that sounded pretty good, so I had to just go for it.
