Still Fighting It - Ben Folds @benfoldsTV

My wife suggested I do an arrangement of this tune and it’s such a perfect song about being a parent. Playing it is a rollercoaster, both for the musical techniques used that don’t feel intuitive to me and the emotions it brings on of how hard it is to grow up. This isn’t a perfect performance, but life isn’t perfect either, so it fits.

I just got this ukulele back from Kanile'a 'Ukulele after some work to it, so I thought I’d make a video while Jack is playing in the background. Bonus dog content, too.

Everybody knows
It sucks to grow up
And everybody does
It's so weird to be back here
Let me tell you what
The years go on and
We're still fighting it, we're still fighting it
