Showing the wonderful mistakes you can make with bad ukulele skills and good relative pitch.
I used to shy away from putting my art out into the world because... what if it wasn't perfect? But perfection is an illusion, and if anything but perfection is a huge mistake, I'd rather make mistakes than not make anything at all. This channel documents just a small selection of my mine, and I plan on making a whole lot more of them.

Late December | Original Song by FayMai
While the holidays are a time of joy and togetherness for many, litlle is said of the unwelcome grief they can bring. I wrote this song a few years back (can you tell I'd been listening to a LOT of Noah Kahan around that time?) and as a Christmas gift to myself this year I'm letting it exist somewhere other than my songbook and sofa.
My darling, if the holidays bring pain: you're not failing, you're feeling. And if it's hurting - on some level - there's healing. Here's wishing you love, from me and mine, to you and yours this Christmas.
P.S. COVID took my voice for 6 weeks, so it feels good to make a video to round out the year.

It's my birthday, and as a present to myself I'm putting my rendition of this sublime song into the world...with plenty of mistakes that almost made me scrap it, and my sweet orange cat lad making an absolute racket in the background. (If you look really carefully you can see a twinge of wild desperation in my eyes as I repeatedly spot him about to topple my camera tripod, or push my laptop off...

Seven years since Persona 5 graced my screen? It's time for my rendition of this beautiful song. The game was incredible, and the soundtrack's absolutely haunting, but I've always had a particular soft spot for this song. My cosplay may be a mashup of my faves, but...they stole my heart, what can I say? Hope you like it! . . P.S. I don't own any rights so this song, go check out the original, o...
Coming Round Again Cover | Carly Simon Acoustic Ukulele Cover

Couldn't resist putting a bunch of vocal layers over my one-take performance - it just felt right! I've loved this song since I was a kid (we had the single in our house, I think it might've been my Dad's...) and turns out it's not hard to play and a helluva lot of fun to perform. (Though Carly Simon fans will note I trimmed the outro, because that's just how I like to play it.) . . P.S. I don'...
Where Have All The Cowboys Gone? Acoustic Cover | Paula Cole Cover by FayMai
มุมมอง 1144 หลายเดือนก่อน
The quiet resentment in this song is so powerful. It had to be a one-take: just me and my ukulele. I've always wanted to be able to play this and recently figured some chords, with additional picking fill-in over the verses where the original has just a drum beat. Hope you like it! . . P.S. I don't own any rights to this, go check out Paula Cole's original!
You're Still The One Acoustic Cover by FayMai | Shania Twain | Ukulele Cover
มุมมอง 1064 หลายเดือนก่อน
Happy anniversary, my love. 27 years is a long time, but when you're in love with your best friend it feels like the blink of an eye. . . . . Seeing Shania singing again, after such a long road back, has been a real inspiration. This track is so beautiful in its simplicity, I knew I had to sing it, and what better time than the present?
Hold On Cover | Wilson Phillips Cover | Ukulele Cover
มุมมอง 1244 หลายเดือนก่อน
I unironically love this song, always have, always will. The album is great, and I've long imagined it's the kind of music that Sarah from Labyrinth would listen to in her room. (This and Debbie Gibson. Which is on the list to cover one day.) My harmonies are nowhere near as awesome as Wilson Phillipps (after all, I'm only one woman) but the song feels weird without them - so in some went. I ha...
Troppo Theme Acoustic Cover | Josh Pyke Cover

Troppo is a slow-burn, Australian noir detective series with a ridiculously talented cast. I came for the easy charisma of Thomas Jane, but everyone in it is spectacular, and now I'd watch Nicole Chamoun in pretty much anything. It's really hard to find info about the theme tune on the net right now - lots of AI nonsense answers when you search - but these are the chords I worked out and I love...

I must have been slightly mad to choose this song (even trimmed and transposed, it's hard) and this take with its tiny imperfections, but I kind of love it all the same. Hope you like it.

Short, sweet, and multilayered, this blast from the past was a lot of fun to cover. Even if there are a billion subtle variations on the intro theme in the show. I pared it down to something like I remembered :D I hope you like it!
No Mercy In July Cover | Grant Lee Phillips Acoustic Ukulele Cover
มุมมอง 1235 หลายเดือนก่อน
Since it's a heatwave here, a song about the mercury rising seems fitting! Transposed for my voice, this track comes from one of my favourite albums of recent months, which I've been listening to (from start to finish) a *lot*. Grant Lee Phillips is one of those artists that makes everything seem effortless, and writes such beautiful songs that just get stuck in my head. Go give The Narrows (De...

Summer, Highland Falls (Simplified) Cover | Billy Joel Cover
มุมมอง 1446 หลายเดือนก่อน
Even without the arpeggios, the shape of this song is so strong and so beautiful. I've been feeling the lyrics of this one a lot of late, and that meant it had to make its way on here. Despite a little camera stutter near the end, I'm hoping that this cover is more euphoria than sadness. . . P.S. I don't own any rights to this song, go check out Billy Joel's original. It's absolutely sumptuous.

Thank you🙏🏻And Happy New Year!
Tout ressemble à la musique que c’est comme Let it be des Beatles ! Et la panthère noire en peluche du soldat Rose ! Et la chanson de l’extraterrestre de Émilie Jolie ! Et Alouette Gentille Alouette ! Et Les Deux Guitares ! Et la chanson paillarde de David Bowie ! Et Les Comédiens de Charles Aznavour! Et la chanson des petits pois et carottes en hébreu du DVD de Matan Ariel! Et la chanson française qui s’appellera Malbrough ! Et Diam’s! Et Kirikou ! Et Uzi Hitman ! Et Joyeux Anniversaire ! Et Petit Papa Noël ! Et Twelve Days Of Christmas ! Et Minuit Chrétiens! Et White Christmas !
Voice back loud and clear! A lovely tune to ease me into the social madness of the festive season. Merry Christmas to you and yours also.
Lovely. Merry Christmas 🎁
Your covers have hit my "I just need to sleep now but I will listen to this one more time" sweet spot. And for someone who struggles with sleep this is no small thing.
An absolute honour. Thank you 🙏🏻
Wonderful. Queen official fan club member from 1989 and still have the jacket to prove it here :) Freddie would have liked this.
Thank you for your kind comments. Really appreciated 🙏🏻
Great cover, as ever.
Nicely done, artistic license is just allowing a bit of yourself into the cover.
Earworm tune that revisits me every once in a while. Very well covered. I will throw in Half Man, Half Biscuit's Dickie Davies Eyes for anyone that wants to expand their musical horizons. Radically ;)
Thanks for your kind words. We enjoy Joy Division Oven Gloves in this house 😀
Beautiful. Men At Work's finest IMO. Hope to catch Colin singing this live sometime soon.
Thank you. It's such a beautiful song, I hope you do!
Really good. I looked for the original for so long but... its nowhere
Thank you🙏🏻 It's really weird how the original doesn't seem to exist on the internet.
❤❤🎉

Wonderful singing!
Beautiful 💙
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
You are singing very nicely。You can try the songs from The Witcher

i feel so lucky i found this tiny place! you definitely made my day a bit better- thank you.
What a lovely thing to say! You've done the same for me🧡

Great work! 😁
Thank you! Cheers!
Me encantó tu interpretación😮 eres muy linda también
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Holy-smoke, what an amazing video. 😊
Thank you! 🙏🏻
What they said....thanks. Also, I'm not too keen on figuring out the chords your playing...being a beginner. Could you post the chords, also?
WOW Great!
Thank you! 🙏🏻
I play uke with a group and enjoy on my own; I never would have considered this piece even possible on uke. You nailed it! Good singing and playing. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you kindly 🙏🏻
Beautiful Fay, lovely arrangement.
Vocal arrangements are next level ⬆️👑⬆️
Hey I'm the 100th view 😅 Let's collaborate some day 🎧🎼✨️
Just amazing, FayMai. Bravo!! Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you so much🙏🏻
One of my fave songs! Great cover!!!

Кто слушает в 2024 году этот кавер?🤩😍🥰
First it was Nilsson Schmilsson. And now Wilson Phillips. Surprised that you don't have people subscribing left and right 🎉. Because you sure are talented bigtime ❤.
That's really kind of you to say. Thank you so much🧡
@@livingwithmymistakes You are MODEST and downright BASHFUL, love!
Definitive Version Alert 🔔
Well done! I always wondered where I could find the original, because it is nowhere to be found.
Thanks, and likewise! I had to rewind an episode off the show over and over to figure out these chords🧡
@@livingwithmymistakesThat's some dedication 😁. Weird that there is nothing right? Every little series has a theme on TH-cam or Spotify nowadays. I read that Pyke even got nominated for "best theme music" or something like that. How is that possible if you can't find it anywhere? It's too good to not be released as a song
I’ve” looked everywhere for this song. I started watching Troppo several DAZE ago,and have binged on season 1, now on 2, putting aside various duties 8I should be doing. GREAT SHOW! First episode I began looking up the theme and kept thinking I was doing something wrong as I couldn’t find it. Unbelievable!, Not familiar with either of the stars,( live in Seattle, Wa) but am really enjoying them , great chemistry. I thought the singer sort of sounded like Eddie from Pearl Jam… Never heard of Pyke but will look for more. 😊Thanks, all around. Is that the writer, singer ?
Thanks for your comment! Loved the show to bits, and the theme is so conspicuously absent from web searches I can only imagine it's some kind of contractual thing perhaps? It's weird though. I'm unsure on the answer to your question as I'm just going off the credit from the show that said Josh Pyke, but he's a musician so I'm guessing he's also our mystery singer. Sorry I can't be more help!
So good I had to listen thrice!
Please note thrice is only indicative of the first session of listening.
Not a a mistake, not by a long way.
Thanks for your kind words 🙏🏻
ahhh, such a classic!!! 😍 really great cover, Fay! 🫡👌🏻❤️🥰
Thank you! 🙏🏻
really beautiful performance!! 😍😍👌🏻❤
Thank you so much!!
What a performance 🎭🐦🔥👏
Well that was lovely and brought back some childhood memories.. thanks so much.
Aww, thank you for your kind words🧡

Amazing 🔥🔥🔥 Backing vocals are just beautiful
Simple and beautiful. Your voice is lovely.
Aww, thank you🧡
Button moon! Do button moon!
I'll put it this way... I have the chords😆
And in case you missed it... th-cam.com/video/vwZw8Wnr89U/w-d-xo.html
Awe thank you! ...off to follow Mr spoon now ..
What is the biggest disappointment about the album: Only couple tracks that were played on FM Radio, were "Jump into the fire", and that terribly overplayed song, "Without You" - was all the radio played. Never heard this track - until ONLY RECENTLY IN LIFE😅! Great🎉 rendition ❤.
Very nice wow
