The Statue (Original Ukulele Song)

It's about the persuasive power of attention.



The Statue
Lauren Ligocki

La de da, you sang to me, I sang to you
We sang matching, minor tunes
At the dock down by the shoreline
On the leopard printed blanket
That we borrowed from a friend
We shared our first whispered confessions

And you stayed and held me
When I asked you to
You said yes,
My pretty girl

But my favorite part
Was when you kissed me by the statue
Of the soldiers and their guns
Because you wanted to

We went to town, your town
My town, hometowns
To show our hidden faces
You came to me, I came to you
And I brought you to my room
And I showed you where I'd been all your life

And you walked with me
And you listened to
Me point and laugh
At my own words

But my favorite part
Was when you kissed me by the statue
Of the soldiers and their guns
Because you wanted to

I'll use your words
That oddly enough, it was wrong
We didn't belong
And now we're free

But my favorite part
Was when you kissed me by the statue
Of the soldiers and their guns

My favorite part
Was when you kissed me by the statue
Of the soldiers and their guns
Because YOU wanted to

This is a great ukulele original song Lauren. Great melody and vocal. Really well written lyrics and the video was very entertaining. I liked the mix of animation and live playing. I put your video in the "Ukulele Originals 2" playlist on The Songwriters Collection Channel.....Kathy

Thank you, that's so nice!

[Laocoonshorse]

this is one of my favorites that you've done. the video was perfect.

also, did you do anything fancy to make your ukulele sound so good on your computer? or is my ukulele just too cheap to record decently on my mac?
