about

one of the first songs I ever wrote.....
written in 2013! I was 17.

I still play it to this day, because it still resonates with me.
it's really fun to play.

lyrics

i feel like i’ve been pushed onto a stage
with a microphone shoved right beneath my face
they asked me hey ELLIOTT do you know what you’ll do
and i said i have no idea but i can play the uke
and it’s the only thing that makes me smile
so i think i’ll do this for awhile

they said that’s really great but why not a guitar
i said what do you mean this is my favorite thing
they said guitars praise praise praise praise praise
ukuleles derogatory comment
no that’s your opinion please keep it to yourself

the uke is built for people big and small
amanda palmer played it at 35
joni mitchell started at fourteen
and tiny tim played until he died
and so i’d imagine i’ve got some time
