Losing My Religion
R.E.M.
This month we are getting into the 90’s indie mood with this anthem from R.E.M. The mandolin in the original recording actually has a sound similar to the uke in my opinion. It was a big part of my angsty teen soundtrack and is a really fun tune on the uke. It’s got a couple of riff sections that each level can tackle and a really interesting 16th note rhythm for the Int and Adv that really makes the song drive. Check this live version from R.E.M. and this more ukecentric rendition from Overdriver Duo.
