Book of Love by The Magnetic Fields (uke cover) #VEDA/VEDALA 16.08.21 | #withcaptions @paulidin

So in the comments of one of my videos
for VEDA, scozio just asked me to do a

video where I practice or play something
on my ukulele.

This is my baritone ukulele. I heart it
very much. But I almost never practice. I

wish I practiced more, but i don't, so I'm
going to try to read what i have here,

which are the guitar chords for Book of
Love and sing along to it. I'm going to

change a couple of the words because i
don't, i don't feel comfortable singing

the words as they are but we'll see how
that goes.

D, G, B, E tuned ukulele.

[strumming]

The Book of Love is long and boring.

No one can lift the damn thing.
Its full of charts and facts & figures

And instructions for dancing.

But I -- --- --- --

I love it when you read to me

And you --- --- --- ---

You can read me anything.

The Book of Love has music in it.
In fact, that's where music comes from.

Some of it is just transcendental.
Some of it is just really not.

But I --- ---- --- --- ---

I love it when you sing to me.

And you --- --- --- --- --- ---

You can sing me anything!

[strumming]

[more strumming]

[more strumming]

The Book of Love is long and boring
And written very long ago.

It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes.
And things were all too young to know.

But I --- ---- -- --- --- --

I love it when you give me things and

You ---- -- --- --- -- ---

You can give me anything!

And you --- -- --- --- --- --- --

You ought to let me give you things

And I -- --- --- ---- --- ----

I want to give you everything.

And I --- --- -- ---- --- --- ---

I want to give you everything!

Ha ha ha ha ha!

The easiest song to play!
There are only four chords that

repeat in the exact same order, over and
over again, the entire song. But i love

the song and that was almost a good take
and I'm tired.

Let me know in the comments what you
thought of my very bad ukulele playing

and what thought of that song and tell me
anything that matters to you because I

want to know what matters to you. If you
have suggestions for other vlogs I can do

this month, I'd appreciate those as well.

This is the end of my very short singing
VEDA. Thank you for making it here.

The end is where I always say:

Tomorrow

will be even better!
