"Restless Heart - The Sin" (Ukulele Original)

NOW IN HD!!

This is an original song for the "Bring the Song" challenge within-a-challenge. AdelletheGreat and GrumpyCoyoteTunes challenged us to create a song called "Restless Heart". Well, I did better than that - I wrote two! I'll upload the 2nd RH song, "Restless Heart No.2 - The Salvation", later this week.

Restless Heart - The Sin

Restless Heart I hate you
You're a part of me
I cultivate you
Bringing constant yearning

When I was young
I would play the field
String their hearts
on a chain of lust
Keep me looking over the hill
Became a habit to me
This Restless Heart

Restless heart I love you
Embrace you in my soul*
Why do I cling so desperately?
I've got everything.


*I sang "Embrace me in your soul" by mistake, but I liked the performance and kept it in. The lyrics sound okay that way too.

Played on a Martin S-O and Casio keyboard

[UKISOCIETY]

Thank you, Leslie!

[TheCoffeeJunkee]

excellent lyrics!.... I love the minimalist look of the video, it really works well with the feel of the song itself.... And I love the rippin' solos!.... great job!

[UKISOCIETY]

Mahalo! Still working on a coffee song....! It's a bit more cheery than this one.

[adellethegreat]

Spoooooky.

Man this is seriously one of if not your best vocal performance.

[JohnnyUku]

OK, this song is soooo cool on so many levels. It is a really great expression of the inner conflict described in Romans 7. And your funky melody and slightly dissonant jazzy licks remind me of the seamy side of New Orleans. And the video is just perfectly disturbing. How did you move that light around? Did you do it with your foot or did you have an assistant? This was just terrific.

[UKISOCIETY]

Thank you, me hearty!

[UKISOCIETY]

Best compliment I could get - Thank you!
