Soft The Snow

[Rick]

This is a ukulele song I wrote with arrangement. It’s a virtual instrument uke where I transferred notes from my real uke into the Sonar 8.5 piano roll. Not a traditional uke strum but rather finger picking. I play guitar with mostly finger picking and I found I like finger picking the uke too. What can I say... I’m a finger picker. This song badly needs a vocal but I don’t want to do the singing.. and besides, I haven’t written any lyrics outside of (“soft the snow is falling cold upon the ground...”). The flute-y thing is the vocal guide.

Seems to sound heavy on the bass when I uploaded it. I use an eq that cuts down bass on my listening device.

Here’s a Soundcloud link in case the mp3 doesn’t work:

I liked it. We've had a bit of a warm spell here lately, so I couldn't think snow; rather, it sounded to me more like the beach level in Mario Kart 64. (I don't know what that means other than I want to go swimming.) Nicely done.

Thanks Matt, Mario Kart 64? That’s an interesting comment. Great game BTW. I’ve been playing AC Odyssey lately... it’s incredible! Hope you find a place to go swimming soon. Thanks again.
