@mac1984 – I got it from here – https://ukulelego.com/tab/interstellar-theme-ukulele/

BUT, the tabs on the site do not match the video, so I retabbed it based on what I saw and heard. I’ve attached my version.

Hi uke community! I´m amazed by everyone´s talent!

This is my first serious attempt of doing something original so please consider it as a first step. I´ve little idea of musical theory. I basically tried different things and saved those I found more pleasant. I also tried to give everything a sort of structure. I didn´t use any specific song as a reference but I´m sure I unconsciously took some element from tunes I´ve been playing or listening to.

I simply love this composition by Andrew. So gorgeous. I had a little brain cramp at the end but I liked the rest of it so I kept the take. Very tricky in an soothing way though. Thanks Andrew!

Hi everybody!

I am so glad the theme of this month is original music as I want to share with you a tune I composed for which I also wrote lyrics and created a harmony.

It is called ‘Even If’ and I wrote it this Summer for my brother and his then fiancee for their wedding day. We had lived through the terrible explosion that rocked and destroyed Beirut-Lebanon on August 4th, leaving a lot of people homeless and others injured or dead. My brother and his fiancee were in the vicinity of the explosion site and were thrown up in the air landing on debris, and it’s a miracle they survived and were able to celebrate during what was an intimate and emotional wedding ceremony with direct family members. So the message behind the song and uplifting tune is that: despite these tough times that Lebanon has been going through, be it the financial and political collapse, the explosion or the pandemic, love wins at all costs, and that’s what exists to keep them in good spirit and fight for life. I hope you enjoy it!

I am singing it and playing it with my sister (she’s on the guitar).

Thanks,
Marianne
