This is a fairly short song about taking time to refresh yourself, and realizing that not everything you do will be a runaway success.

Musically, I decided to see what I could do with pretty much every chord here being either a major or a minor seventh. This was an interesting challenge since I was using a concert ukulele, which only has 4 strings (and has fairly limited range due to its re-entrant tuning). This means that, essentially, you have to be fretting a different note on every string, since seventh chords obviously are made up of 4 notes. I count this song in 2/4 time instead of 4/4. I envision a “full recording” of this song would use a piano instead, so the chord voicings would be slightly different.

I recorded this simply, using just my phone’s high-quality mode and doing both the ukulele and vocals live.

Lyrics

I’ve had hits and misses

Can’t only roll two sixes

Sometimes you’ve gotta recharge

Sometimes you’ve gotta recharge
