This is back when I actually played on a regular basis... And most resembled an island-stranded castaway.

I deliberately picked melodies that fell within a certain note range. Because I couldn't competently manage the alto's lower range nor the soprano's higher range.

But I just put this item on my Amazon wish list:

Something about it just appeals to me. Hmmm...

That video is fun stuff! It's hard not to sound at least a little jolly on a recorder.

As for that ukulele...could it be that that light blue color reminds you of a certain someone...or somepony...

In all seriousness, though, I recommend it as a great, simple, go-to accompaniment instrument. Doesn't take long to figure out how to play it at least passably...and if you do get one, I'd be happy to help you figure it out if you feel like I could be useful that way. And one thing to be aware of is that it's better not to play too far down the neck on plastic models like that, as the intonation is fairly poor. But stick with the standard chords and they work just fine!

(Actually, I personally kind of prefer the sound of plastic ukuleles to supposedly "superior" models!)

I Lay Beneath

I lay beneath an endless sky
Pretend to be a cloud
I love you, want you, need you, too
But don't say it aloud

I lay beneath a quiet blue
Pretend to be a rock
Secure and strong for you, I'd be
But it is only talk

I lay beneath the rest of me
Pretend to be a man
Without you, though, I'm incomplete
I've come to understand

I lay beneath the one I love
Pretend to be afraid
My arms tighten around my choice
The best I ever made

"Pretend to be afraid..." There's a salutary surprise to that line after its mirrors in the first three. It captures a lot of the complexities of the invigorating, wild, passion-filled life you live with Rainbow Dash, I'd say!

Blue Fire (song)

The only thing that I ever got right
Was when I fell for you
An angel come from a clear blue sky
Little devil, too

The only time that I ever had faith
You made me believe
Those cerise eyes don't tell me lies
My heart, you won't deceive

The only way that I could be healed
Babe, you were the cure
Deep inside; a cold, dead heart
Things began to stir

You woke me up from a lonely dream
Lips were warm and wet
Love, desire; and a bright blue fire
Kiss made me forget

Always (song)

Up until you came to me
I was al-ways thir-sty
Nothing else would do
No matter how I tried

Up until you came to me
I was al-ways hun-gry
But now that you are here
I'm sat-is-fied

I won't
Ask for
Any more
'Cause
You're
Much more
Than
I e-ver
Hoped for

I can't
Leave you
And won't
De-ceive you
Al-ways
Be true
To you


Won't Give You Up (song)

When I wake up
And see you in my arms
A thousand miles
Away from harm
When you open up
Your cherry eyes
I cry

When I look up
And see you in the sky
My heart beats fast
I wonder why
It must be true
That I'm in love
With you

I wooo-o-on't
Give you up

I wooo-o-on't
Give you up


Falling (song)

You're a bolt of lightning
So exciting
Middle-of-the-night
Firecracker lighting
Without you
Life wouldn't be
The sa-aaame

True, true blue
What's a man to do?
You've got wings
And I have, too
This is love;
And I'm not playing
Ga-aaames

I'm falling
Yes, I'm still falling
I hear your voice
To me it's calling
I can't resist
I know I must
Obe-eeey

I'm falling
Yes, I'm still falling
I hear your voice
To me it's calling
I have no choice
I must do as you
Sa-aaay


The Color of My Heart (song)

If I have a choice betwe-en
Red, orange, yellow, blue, or gre-en
I think I should have to choose them all-llll

On a Sunday bright and fa-ir
I do hope I'll see you the-re
Catch me, darlin', I begin to fallllll

Rainbow
O Ra-inbow
I hope we never part
Rainbow
O Ra-inbow
The color of my heart

Lend me, dear, a bright blue feather
Promise me your love for-ever
It's to you, my darlin', I belo-ooong

When across my lap you la-ay
All my doubts are chased awa-ay
With you, honey, nothing can go wronnnng

Rainbow
O Ra-inbow
I hope we never part
Rainbow
O Ra-inbow
The color of my heart

Rainbow
O Ra-inbow
I hope we never part
Rainbow
O Ra-inbow
The color of my heart

I hope someday you release a proper album of all these beautiful songs you write for Rainbow Dash. I'd buy it!

All of the profits would go towards the "Rainbow Angelbaby Cider Fund." x3 They're her songs, after all.

By Your Side (song)

All my hope and
All my faith
I gave to you to
Keep it safe
I brush the hair out
Of your face

And then...
I see...

A smile on your
Sweet blue lips
The only kind I
Want to kiss
I promise I'll
Remember this

Your love...
Is free...

All I ever want is you
And
All I ever need is you
And
All I ever want to be

Is
By your side

All I ever want is you
And
All I ever need is you
And
All that ever came before

Is
Left behind

In your eyes and
In my heart
I felt a tender
Fire start
Without you I
Would fall apart

Please...
Don't go...

A flick, a wink
A touch, a smell
Oh, is this heaven?
I can't tell
Though If it is
I love it well

You...
Would know...

All I ever want is you
And
All I ever need is you
And
All I ever want to be

Is
By your side

All I ever want is you
And
All I ever need is you
And
All that ever came before

Is
Left Behind

The following is a collaboration between Babe and myself:

So Happy I Could Cry (song)

Rain is fal-ling
Lover's cal-ling
She won't break this
Heart o' mi-ine

I'll come run-ning
If you want me
No matter where I am and
Anytime

I--------- know why
I'm--- so happy I could cry

Need you, Ba-by
Come and take me
Take me some-where
Far awa-ay

Do you love me?
Come and show me
Hold you in my arms and
There you'll stay

I--------- know why
I'm--- so happy I could cry

Hear them tal-king
Keep on wal-king
We don't care 'bout what
People sa-ay

You're the real thing
Play my heart strings
I will love you, Ba-by
Every day

I--------- know why
I'm--- so happy I could cry

I--------- know why
I've--- only begun to try

^ ^ I like it, but it suck their no musical instruments to listen along as we read this... Well.. I could hear a bit of joyful tune while we read this. X3 I very much like to share songs I wrote for my little Amena. ^ ^ But I feel it wouldn't be good enough without a acoustic guitar or harmonica... D: Someday... someday I will. >:3

Ziggy!

Other then your girl inspiring this song, was their something else that aid you two to come up the lyrics? :D Also how long did you two spend the song here. I wonder how you two did it is all. ^ ^

I would listen to a tune, and start singing with whatever I come up with whatever pop up in my mind. XD
