STORY :
I'm not naive : I'm not a good singer-songwriter.
Even me I don't really like my songs.
Except this one.
Everytime I listen to it I think : "Hey, this one is not bad !"
Okay, it's another heartbreaking love song BUT.
I like the drawing metaphor, the melody is great and I even used a chord where I need more than three fingers to do it.
And the most important : the ukulele is sufficient here I think.
I made a videoclip for this song, and it's hilarious.
Also, the recording has a hidden track at the end.
It was a short thing that I wrote one night with my first ukulele, a tenor Fender Hau'oli, before I bought the baritone one.
I wanted it to be heard in this false album.
I hope you liked it.
LYRICS :
There's just one thing I can draw
I'm not an artist, you know
It was the same when I was four
When I learned to talk
I put a house on a hill
Two windows and a door on it
I put some clouds, it's so pretty
And the sun is smiling
You can laugh
Tell me it's just childish draw
But you know
I draw this for you though
You know, this house has some owners
The first of them is a girl
I put a husband for her
They're happy together
Alone they won't always be
Guess what, they have a baby
When he'll grow up, he'll be happy
Just like you and me
But you laugh
Tell me it's just childish draw
But you know
I drew this for you though
You don't take me seriously
Tell me that I am boring
That you just want to be free
Have something more ... spicy
I know it's not a piece of art
But I made this with my heart
I know that others want you
But they won't love you
(Like I do)
But you laugh
Tell me it's just childish draw
And you just ripped it
And then you threw it
Into my face
And you laugh
Yeah, you tell me it's just childish draw
And you rejected me
Yes, you rejected me
And I'm alone
...
You know what ?
I don't care.
Just get out
Get out with your friends
I'll take a new paper
Another pen
And I will draw
The same thing ...
Again.
HIDDEN TRACK LYRICS :
I, I don't want to monopolize
I don't want to advertise
But I just can't live without you
You know why ? Because I love you
I love you, yes, like a fool
Just tell me something to do
I'll do it and you'll love me too
And then it will be cool
I love you
Love me too
As I do
