Kaila & the Granolas - "The Cave" by Mumford & Sons
Say hello to my friends Kaila and Holly everyone! Kaila just started playing the ukulele 4 weeks ago. (I may have had a hand in this plunge into the uke-world, but can't take credit for the uke-prodigy she has turned out to be). Holly also has mad skills that will reveal themselves as the video progresses.
If you want to learn our arrangement for ukulele of this song, I've broken it down best I can here. This arrangement took as a starting point what 'jamiecook1993' plays on youtube here.
Kaila's already gone back to Waterloo, but she's got a youtube channel.
You should check out, and if she comes back for a visit to Ottawa, there will definitely have to be Granolas reunion.
Pet peeve here, but most versions of the lyrics on the internet say "maker's hand." But the cd liner notes definitely say "maker's land" — and Marcus definitely does sing it this way if you actually listen!
Also, like many people, I assumed that the song might be referencing Plato's "Allegory of the Cave." But apparently the line "come out of your cave walking on your hands / and see the world hanging upside down " is a near word-for-word quote from G.K. Chesterton's biography of St. Francis.
