about

Words
This song is a result of awakening and playing the ukulele instead of the electric guitar. See the difference?
Simplicity, proximity and light weight - the benefiting factors of ukulele, which in many cases are the reason why I prefer it to the guitar. Still, the sound of 12-string guitar had no competitor. Especially for that solo part!

Drawing
And here is the very song about both the books, drawings and, eventually, songs. However, you will find no weapon references or any other military innuendos here. Only the thrill and excitement that creators experience at the moments when their new creations are being conceived.

lyrics

If one day I write a book, who is going to be my hero?
Someone beautiful and strong? A famous face from glossy covers?
Someone I would want to be like but, alas, I never could...
Someone I’d be scared to seem like or wouldn’t want to see around...
What if he would be a monster whom I’d be afraid to meet?
Would I be ashamed of him, or would he still make me proud?

Could you teach me something else, more than what I’ve learned by myself?
Would I feel myself responsible for you?

If one day I draw a picture, what will you see painted there?
Would it be a gloomy landscape or a beautiful still life?
And if I’m thinking ‘bout a portrait, who is this a portrait of?
Should white chalk suffice my needs, or should I go for coal or pencil, oil paints or watercolor?

Who are you and what’s your name?
Where’re you from and where’re you going?
Is there anybody in this world who doesn’t hold themselves aloof from you?

If I dedicate my song to you, would you live up to my expectations?
If I open up my heart now, would you take your pretty sandals off?
If I tell you my name, would it resonate with yours then?
If I tell you here’s a verse, would you offer a refrain?
Would we sing this song together if one day I write a song?
