Members Rene Asologuitar Posted September 20, 2022 Members Share Posted September 20, 2022 "Over the Rainbow" is a ballad by Harold Arlen with lyrics by Yip Harburg. It was written for the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, in which it was sung by actress Judy Garland in her starring role as Dorothy Gale. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and became Garland's signature song. Dedicated to my best friend, Sergio Nabatar Jr aka Joe-Jok, who I have not seen for a long time. This is his favorite song, playing with his ukulele. Also, dedicated to all peoples looking for a hope and peace in this troubled world.https://youtu.be/isdLr1wv4O0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators daddymack Posted September 22, 2022 Moderators Share Posted September 22, 2022 Nicely done, interesting chord choices. I also cover this song [in D major], and understand the vocal challenges with trying to lean on the original melody [like the opening octave 'leap' Garland employed]. Rene, kaibigan, if you could, please, post future acoustic and vocal tracks in the VOM1T 2022 [soon to be superceded] thread in Acoustic Guitar forum.

Members alexiv Posted December 7, 2023 Members Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) Absolutely one of the all-time best songs! It's like an instant mood-lifter, no matter what's going on or what the weather's like outside. I've already hunted down over the rainbow on the ukulele, and my plan is to belt it out for my family and friends at our Christmas dinner. Can't wait for the festive vibes and ukulele tunes to hit just right Edited December 14, 2023 by alexiv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
