Please, Baby, Please (David Bazan Cover) - Genesis Fermin

I'm so exited that David Bazan's "Curse Your Branches" album is out now :)
Super congrats to Dave and Bob for this milestone!
To all of you who watch my videos, I highly recommend buying this album.

"Please, Baby, Please" is one of my favorite songs on this album and is the first song I (ever) learned on my new ukulele.

Prior to this video, I've been playing the uke for 3 days, so I have to admit--I still learning.

I love covering David's songs because its captivating, heartfelt and so true. And its a great blessing that he and Bob Andrews from Undertow music let me post these cover songs. I hope you all enjoy this cover as much as I enjoy listening and singing along to David's songs.

Cheers!
Genesis
Lyrics:

When I woke up the next morning,
You looked right through me
Through your eyes crying,
I could finally see

They said, "please baby please"

When I called you from Atlanta,
You refused to speak
Not three days sober,
Begging for a drink

And I said, "please baby please"

Those two pairs of big blue eyes
Stare me down, watching me fall
But what makes a man realize
That he's about to lose it all?

(Elevator to ICU)
Sunrise at the county lock-up
Now our baby's twenty-three
She'd been out late drinking,
Killed a mother of three

And she said, "please daddy please"

I love this. Your voice is so unique and easy to listen to. It's awesome that you are playing on a ukulele. I would listen to this again, which is definitely saying something.
