I think I get it now! When you play in environments that mix beauty & noise, I don't CARE about the noise. Your playing & singing act like a catalyst for calm. As a viewer, for a few moments anyway I am allowed to believe that through pieces like this (& all music) we can help anchor ourselves amid chaos...
Damn. That was beautiful. My whole life is built around compassion and bringing people peace through my music. I really appreciate you edifying my journey :)
@@Queencrafts98 It's just a simple Em chord played backward :) on strings GCEA=9777 (G string 9th fret, C string 7th fret, etc) and then I just strum that Em up there. The notes I'm playing are EBGE
Hi Dani! I've had this video saved for almost 2 yrs because it's always been a favorite of mine, and at the time was a little intimidated with it since I was a fairly new uke player. Which is why I'm about to bust because I watched it again tonight, and I was able to figure it out just by watching your finger placement!!! I'M SO PUMPED!!!!!! I would not have been able to do this 2 years ago! So, I'm a little late in thanking you since you've had this video out for a while but better late than never! Your voice and your renditions of the songs you choose are Outstanding! So thank you and a big hug from Louisiana!
Louisianna huh? Well I'm sorry it took so long for me to get back to you! Hazzah!! If you'd like to learn it in person, I'm teaching a class at my Online Academy in Feb called "Articulated Strumming" where we'll go over the chords, riff and I'll give tips on how to strum through with your fingers correctly for the best sound. Maybe I'll see you there :) If not, I'll see you here :) Academy Class descriptions: danijoymusic.square.site
Brilliant. I loved the sound of the waves reflecting the broom sweep in the original…very nice. Even the plane zooming behind the cloud ADDed to the song. Fantastic voice in a fabulous setting down under.
I do this one also on uke.....must say....I think you're da bomb.....thanks hun. BTW....the plane going by shows what the uke is about. Wherever go, there you are.....with an uke. Make music and peace.
Yesterday was harvest full moon in Hawaii! Fullest at 12AM, listened to Nieil Young last night, and today a ukelele and sweet voice , truly blessed with this discovery of this singing and song! Aloha from Hawaii MK! that jet is either arriving from Hawaii or going to Hawaii! Via Australia right?! Beautiful thing mahalo!
Nice Dani , I enjoyed that ,I play it on the Sax ,so smooth ,tomorrow I shall buy a ukulele, and get playing chords again after decades of absence.👍 looks like kirribillie your playing from .
Thank you Paul! Wow, to inspire you to play after a hiatus, there's no bigger compliment! I was in the town across from Sydney (I sadly can't remember the name)
Oh yes, I have a Low G string. This is a thicker string which makes my G (4th string) rain out an octave lower. I really love it! And my favorite set of strings is PHD. I've got some on my website if you're interested in trying them out! Low G is very close to my heart. www.danijoymusic.com/shop
I like your arrangement a lot. Hope the PDF is coming but I think I have it down. First verse is essentially G6 (Em7). And the prechorus is Gmaj7 to G6. Is your chorus just the standard A7sus4 to A7? Or are you adding a little flavour in there?
Hi Todd, yeah, sorry about that. I got so busy. But I will be teaching this in a class in February! It's called "Articulated Strumming" and I'll show the chords, the hook and tips on making your strum sound gorgeous! Here's some info on the class; Academy Class descriptions: danijoymusic.square.site Maybe I'll see you there!
Thanks Marion :) I'm playing GCEA with a low G string. High G is pretty standard, but I prefer the deep end of the Low G. I specifically use PHD stings. I use them so much that I started keeping them in stock to share with. my students & fans. If you want, you can find them on my website www.danijoymusic.com/shop/ They're made by Jason Arimoto of LAUSpace, a fantastic uke player and integral member of the ukulele community.
@@mariongainsford4381 I could send you strings anyway, just need you to pay the shipping. Email me your address and I'll check the cost. danijoy@danijoymusic.com
Thanks for asking Amanda, the chord is Em7 and moves to a Gmaj7. If you want, I'm teaching this song in my Articulated Strumming Fingerstyle class online in February. Academy Class descriptions: danijoymusic.square.site
Beautiful rendition of this song .. dare I say this is a better version?!! I always dislike the word " "Watch" you from afar " .. I love the way you changed it to "Love you from afar"
My gosh, I used to love this song by the great Neil Young but after hearing this version I'm thinking, did Neil Young cover this song?, I mean this is 10 times better than his version, right?
That tattoo on your arm looks ridiculous. Nice tune though. Your version sounds a bit somber. I dont think thats what Neil thpught of the song especially when he says I love you.

A cool cover of an amazing song by Neil Young. Well done Dani will look for more of your playing. Wishing you the very best.
This is wonderful
Very nice, love it!
Stopping by to show some love to a fellow uke player.
Hiya PirateStu! Stu was my Dad's name :)
Great job Dani! I love that face at the end. That's usually my face when I'm thinkin', 'is that the way I want to end it?'
Haha, yeah. And I was thinking, "Well, that plane will probably be all you can hear, but at least I had fun!"
@@StarlightUkes it sounded like you had a lot of fun. Great rendition, it’s inspiring to put out some covers on TH-cam for fun
Beautiful version of a beautiful song!
I hope one day I can visit Sedney. Watch this from Indonesia.
Indonesia?? I hope to one day visit you!
Love it ❤
Beautiful ❤

very nice! cool setting (helicopter and all) and pretty version of the song!
Can’t stop listening!!!😊
Beautiful!🥰
Absolutely beautiful cover!
Beautiful
Thank you Shirley :)
Great cover Dani, love this version. Just need to figure out your chord sequence. Is that a Em7 after the riff?
Yep! The first part of the verse has Em7, riff, Em7, riff, then the movement stars with a Gmaj7-Em7 then riff and repeat. Make sense?
Brilliant thanks! and well done for keeping your composure after the inconsiderate plane.
Lovely 🏵️
Thanks Mary 🤗
wow.....
Bravo Dani
Lovely version! Thank you!
Beautiful cover!
Nice job.
This is an amazing version - thanks for sharing!
Thanks for taking the time to tell me Nick!
Not sure how you have the top string tuned, Can you explain?
