Two Things:
1) This is dark.
2) This is a work of fiction.

Originally, I came up with the simple ukulele part. I played it and played it trying to come up with a song to use it in. After a while I thought it could be most effective to juxtapose its cheery sound with a very dark text. I made up the melody last night as I was recording it. I shot the video this morning when I took the dog out to pee. So here it is.

A - D
A - E7
A - D
E7 - A
CHORUS
F# - B
B7 - E
A - A7 - D - Dm - E7 - A

It took me
8
long years for me to find you.
I crossed all the
7
seas.
It took you
6
short seconds to inform me
that you didn't want to be with me.

It took
5
months in the infirmary.
4
months of medicine.
3
jobs and
2
relocations just to want you back again.

You are the
1
for me, girl.
You are the
1
for me.

Wherever you go you can only say no. You are the
1
for me.

Creepy and disturbingly brilliant! I loved it. The audio is amazing. I was listening with earphones and the rumbling sound seemed like it was coming from all around me. I even had to take my earphones out for a second to make sure it wasn't really coming from outside my door. Really awesome Alan!
