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

Hello everybody,

Here is Yankee Doodle! Sorry I couldn’t include the last harmonics per se given it’s a shorter uke neck!

Thanks,
Marianne

Hi everyone,
This is my best take of People are Strange.
Not very happy with it but it will have to do. It wasn’t easy! Also the highest notes are tough to make as this is a short neck soprano uke and those frets simply don’t exist…

Thanks!
Marianne

Hey everyone,

Here is my attempt at Out in the North. Not the best take, but it will have to do 🙂

Like you @sgwarren, every time I come to record, my fingers clam up…

Hello everyone,

Here is a not too shabby second submission of mine: Hone A Ka Wai. Fun little tune. I’ve only been playing the ukulele for about a year, so I am really excited to have gotten better quite quickly.

Thanks Andrew and Stephen (and all the team Rock Class 101 for blessing us with such a wonderful venture, especially in these confining and stressful days!

Here’s a better take of Loke Lani.
A little faster and more practiced.

Thanks!
