This was the first song I wrote, back in 2010. I was at the inaugural Melbourne Ukulele Festival, had a melody come in to my head at about 5/6am, went outside and an hour or so later had this.
It's a hard song to play live because I want to speed up the uke, but that makes it incredibly difficult to sing later on >.<

lyrics
My eyes look up and they’ve caught a glance
Eyes so green I’ll never stand a chance
I’ve been struck by you, yes I’m struck by you
Now I’m floating, feels like I’m melting
A candle’s forming and it burns for you
Maybe was made for you
My mind is full of the words you say
So distracted how to get through the day
I am so in to you, just so in to you
And now I’m holding my breath in
and unfolding the texts you send
Don’t worry I’ll wait for you, yes I’ll for you
Oooh…
You kissed under a starlit sky
My head is gone it’s just a perfect night
I think I might love you, I think I might love you…
Calum is a wonderfully talented musician. I feel very privileged to work with him during 50/90. You should feel privileged to listen to his music ;) Kahiwa
