so, joyboy's name isn't "nika" like people think the fruit was named after him... but the fruit had been around well before the void century and that version of Joyboy... so, Joyboy was a nickname, a title, and their birth name was "Binks" from Binks' no Sake.
The tumblr bells were fun, but I was frustrated that I couldn't play the whole song 😔 And I wanted to make my own version for so long that I finally decided to work on it !
And what would be a better time to share it than for the first day of @rogerpirateswk ? 😁
(Unrelated fun fact : my first rendition was posted on someone's birthday, this one too 🎉)
Please keep in mind that I did this arrangement on my own, I haven't decently played or sung for a few years, I recorded this on my phone with a spare mic that is not meant for instruments, and I only have very limited skills with Audacity. I also highly recommend listening to this with headphones !
I have said this a million times already but Bink's Sake fucks severely, it can make me cry just thinking about it and it also offers a bonding experience to friends who hear it and bawl their eyes out together
Not rant related but I'm learning a very short and simplified version of Bink's sake on the ukulele and considering I spent less than an hour learning it, I'd say it's coming along pretty well! Bet I can learn it on the flute too 👀👀👀
