In My Mind Lyn Lapid Ukulele Chords

Okay, ukulele players, let’s talk. Let’s talk about that song. You know the one. The one that's permanently stuck in everyone’s head (including mine, against my will!).

"In My Mind" by Lyn Lapid: A Ukulele Love-Hate Relationship

We're talking about Lyn Lapid’s "In My Mind." Yes, it’s catchy. Yes, it’s probably showing up on every single ukulele tutorial out there. And yes, I have a slightly unpopular opinion about playing it on the uke.

Hear me out! The song itself is great. Lyn Lapid has a fantastic voice. But the ukulele… well, sometimes I feel it's just not the perfect match.

The Chords: Simple, Yet...

Let's be honest, the chords are pretty easy. We're talking basic stuff. C, G, Am, F. We've all been there, strummed those hundreds of times.

It's practically the ukulele player's bread and butter, right? So, what's the problem? It's almost too simple.

Don't get me wrong, I love a good easy chord progression. But sometimes, it feels like "In My Mind" deserves a little more oomph.

The Strumming Pattern: Where's the Pizzazz?

And the strumming? Down, down, up, down, up. Standard fare. Effective? Sure. Exciting? Debatable.

I find myself wanting to spice it up. Add a little something extra. Maybe a mute here and there, or a fancier rhythm. But then…is it even the same song?

My Unpopular Opinion: Is it Overplayed on Uke?

Here it is, brace yourselves. I think… "In My Mind" might be a tad overplayed on the ukulele.

I know, I know! Sacrilege! But scroll through any ukulele TikTok or YouTube channel and you're bound to find approximately 7,482 covers of this song.

Maybe it’s because it’s easy. Maybe it’s because it’s popular. Whatever the reason, I crave something a little… different.

The Ukulele's Potential: So Much More!

The ukulele is such a versatile instrument! It can do so much more than just strum basic pop songs (no offense to Lyn Lapid!).

It can be jazzy. It can be bluesy. It can even rock out! It just needs a chance to shine.

I’m not saying *never* play "In My Mind" on your ukulele. But maybe… explore other options too?

A Challenge to Ukulele Players Everywhere

So, here's my challenge to all ukulele enthusiasts. Let's find some less mainstream songs to conquer!

Let's dig deeper into the ukulele repertoire. Let's show the world the full range of this amazing little instrument.

Who's with me? Let’s start a ukulele revolution, one unique song at a time!

Still Stuck in Your Head? Try This!

Alright, alright, I get it. It's catchy. If you absolutely *must* play "In My Mind" again, try this.

Experiment with different tunings! Add a capo! Play it fingerstyle instead of strumming!

Make it your own! Don't just regurgitate the same old version. Inject some personality into it!

Ultimately, the goal is to have fun. But maybe, just maybe, we can find some new ukulele anthems along the way.

Happy strumming! And may your mind be filled with ukulele melodies that are a little less… expected. I am a fan of Lyn Lapid, but there are just so many other songs out there.

Let’s leave this song to the guitar players, shall we?
