    Credits: The Sundown Project / Music by Rich Finn Lyrics by Carmine Castellano

    Story Behind the Song
    Originally the music for ShadoWWS and Mysteries, later changed when lyrics were added. According to Carmine, his son was study, Greek mythology, he had teh tune in his head and a take away to either use lyrics written by Rich for ShadoWWs or right something new..SO he comes back with Apollo play Ukulele and we we floored. You can see him sitting at teh table with Jesus, Moses, Buddha, JFK, Lennon and Otis and Elvis. Carmine is very prolific. Musically teh song was the first piece of work Rich wrote after the 9/11 tragedies. It will always hold a special place for my dear friend Danny Barkow and his wife that he lost on that horrible day...

    for Colleen.........


    As far as recording Ken added some great acoustics and James Rich and Larry were tight the day it was written almost 1 year later until it was recorded..

    Lyrics
    Apollo Plays Ukulele

    Behind the face of the moon
    Impetus is making is plea
    Artemis is council for defense
    Apollo plays ukulele

    Don’t cry mama
    Don’t cry mama
    A son to his universe making his plea
    Gia earth goddess wipes away a tear

    Don’t cry mama
    Don’t cry mama
    A son to his universe making his plea
    Apollo keeps playing ukulele

    Jesus, Muhammad, Moses, Buddha
    Everyone who’s anyone is here
    JFK’s arrived with the lemon meringue
    It’s a grand affair

    Eos goddess of dawn has awaken the earth
    One September day
    Zeus father of sky bangs his fist in anger
    Why is my sky all gray?

    Don’t cry mama
    Don’t cry mama
    A son to his universe making his plea
    Why mother why mother

    Finally the verdict is in
    Leave them be, they all must find their own way
    We’ve been playing it forever

    (Just listen listen)

    Lennon, Harrison, Otis, The King
    Sitting on the dock of the bay
    Mozart is leading the symphony
    Apollo play ukulele

    It’s a beautiful song
    It’s a beautiful song
    Such a Beautiful song
    Such a Beautiful song
