Full version of the clip I posted to my instagram story.
Moved to Portland recently and haven't shipped a lot of my stuff over so I've been stuck without an instrument for a few weeks. I just rooted through the closet today and discovered a ukulele. I've never played one before (not a fan of singing with high tinny instruments) but it only has four strings and it sounds like it's tuned so that the open strum is already a chord, so it was easy to just the open chord as the 4th and moved the tonic around.
Whatever key it's in happened to fit perfectly with the song that's been the soundtrack to my melancholic headspace for the last few months, S P E Y S I D E by Bon Iver.

I know now that I can't make goodHow I wish I couldGo back and putMe where you stood
Nothing's really something now the whole thing's soot
It serves to suffer, make a hole in my footAnd I hope you lookAs I fill my bookOh, what a waste of wood
Nothing's really happened like I thought it would
I can't rest on no dynastyYeah, what is wrong with me?Man, I'm so sorryI got the best of me
I really damn been on such a violent spree
But maybe you can still make a man from meHere on Speyside quayWith what's left of meAs you live and breathe
I really know now what had hold on me
