107
00:04:30,170 --> 00:04:32,952
-: On the ukulele, you have a low pitch.

108
00:04:32,952 --> 00:04:34,907
(plays ukulele low)

109
00:04:34,907 --> 00:04:36,333
And you have a high pitch.

110
00:04:37,301 --> 00:04:40,384
(plays ukulele high)

111
00:04:45,610 --> 00:04:48,979
Mr. B: Today's song is inspired by the word kindness.

112
00:04:48,979 --> 00:04:50,920
Whenever I'm writing a song,

113
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,260
I think of words or phrases that jump out at me

114
00:04:53,260 --> 00:04:56,350
that are connected to the topic I'm writing about.

115
00:04:56,350 --> 00:04:59,800
On the top of your page write the word kindness.

116
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,540
As you listen to our guests,

117
00:05:01,540 --> 00:05:04,130
say what words or phrases come to their minds.

118
00:05:04,130 --> 00:05:06,240
Write down any that stand out to you

119
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,070
or that you connect to the word kindness.

120
00:05:09,070 --> 00:05:11,533
So again, we're writing down words or phrases

121
00:05:11,533 --> 00:05:14,053
that connect to the word kindness.

122
00:05:15,910 --> 00:05:17,170
-: Heart.

123
00:05:17,170 --> 00:05:18,542
-: Lean on me.

124
00:05:18,542 --> 00:05:20,640
-: Difficult sometimes.

125
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:21,960
-: Hugs.

126
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:22,920
-: Love.

127
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,220
-: Sharing.

128
00:05:24,220 --> 00:05:25,240
-: Smile.

129
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,430
-: Generosity.

130
00:05:26,430 --> 00:05:27,480
-: Yes, please!

131
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,060
-: And listening.

132
00:05:29,060 --> 00:05:30,210
-: Warmth.

133
00:05:30,210 --> 00:05:31,550
-: Judge not.

134
00:05:31,550 --> 00:05:34,170
-: Friends, courage.

135
00:05:34,170 --> 00:05:35,993
-: Can't we all just get along?

136
00:05:38,610 --> 00:05:41,040
Mr. B: Well those are some powerful words.

137
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,723
You gave us lots to work with.

138
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,553
Save the words and phrases you wrote down for later.

139
00:05:47,620 --> 00:05:50,900
I always cross out, never erase.

140
00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:53,240
For now, lets move onto the instrumental

141
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,690
that we've created for today's word, kindness.

142
00:05:57,690 --> 00:06:00,399
-: This is my instrument, the ukulele.

143
00:06:00,399 --> 00:06:02,429
And it sounds like this.

144
00:06:02,429 --> 00:06:05,096
(ukulele plays)

145
00:06:24,030 --> 00:06:25,780
(funky music)

146
00:06:25,780 --> 00:06:29,230
Mr. B: Today's track is inspired by the word kindness.

147
00:06:29,230 --> 00:06:32,083
Our guest instrumentalist is Maluhia.

148
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:34,633
-: Aloha.

149
00:06:34,633 --> 00:06:37,860
My name is Maluhia and I play the ukulele.

150
00:06:39,171 --> 00:06:40,325
Mr. B: Thanks, Maluhia.

151
00:06:40,325 --> 00:06:42,730
Maluhia came up with four chords inspired

152
00:06:42,730 --> 00:06:44,280
by the word kindness.

153
00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:45,783
Here's what he came up with.

154
00:06:46,915 --> 00:06:49,582
(ukulele plays)

155
00:06:58,250 --> 00:06:59,670
For today's track,

156
00:06:59,670 --> 00:07:02,610
I went to the park to collect some sounds to add

157
00:07:02,610 --> 00:07:04,390
a little personal flavor.

158
00:07:04,390 --> 00:07:05,920
Music is all around us,

159
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,860
you just have to stop and listen.

160
00:07:07,860 --> 00:07:11,910
As always, I put the sounds into my MPC Live

161
00:07:11,910 --> 00:07:13,890
and made them my own.

162
00:07:13,890 --> 00:07:14,853
Here's what I got.

163
00:07:15,735 --> 00:07:16,878
(grass rustles)

164
00:07:16,878 --> 00:07:18,465
(feet thud)

165
00:07:18,465 --> 00:07:19,946
(rock smacks)

166
00:07:19,946 --> 00:07:21,286
(twig breaks)

167
00:07:21,286 --> 00:07:24,650
I collected all these sounds, chopped 'em up,

168
00:07:24,650 --> 00:07:27,178
and stuck 'em into the MPC.

169
00:07:27,178 --> 00:07:30,689
I really like the sound of the effect on the ukulele

170
00:07:30,689 --> 00:07:32,563
and came up with this loop.

171
00:07:34,563 --> 00:07:37,230
(ukulele plays)

172
00:07:44,180 --> 00:07:47,130
And then I collected a beat together and came up with this.

173
00:07:48,854 --> 00:07:52,104
(upbeat ukulele music)

174
00:07:56,410 --> 00:07:58,163
Okay, your turn now.

175
00:07:59,490 --> 00:08:01,850
Write down some words or phrases you think of

176
00:08:01,850 --> 00:08:04,650
when you hear the word kindness.

177
00:08:04,650 --> 00:08:07,170
You can use phrases that you heard from the other artists

178
00:08:07,170 --> 00:08:09,420
before or come up with your own.

179
00:08:09,420 --> 00:08:11,300
There's no right or wrong answer.

180
00:08:11,300 --> 00:08:13,243
Anything you say will be just fine.

181
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:15,540
In the next segment,

182
00:08:15,540 --> 00:08:17,490
you'll get a chance to use these words

183
00:08:17,490 --> 00:08:18,653
to sing your own song.

184
00:08:20,220 --> 00:08:22,933
I'll give you about a minute to write some things down.

185
00:08:46,980 --> 00:08:48,480
Just a little time left.

186
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:49,680
Go ahead and wrap it up.

187
00:09:07,390 --> 00:09:08,760
Okay.

188
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,730
Take all those things that you wrote and get ready,

189
00:09:11,730 --> 00:09:13,283
'cause here we go.

190
00:09:22,630 --> 00:09:25,880
(upbeat ukulele music)
