CYNTHIA! Thank you thank you thank you! I picked up ukulele recently and have been loving it! I needed something for myself, you see my daughter was diagnosed with a very rare disease when she was 8 months old and lost all kidney function, turning our lives upside down, starting dialysis and struggling to raise a medically dependent toddler. Me and her discovered this song and have spent HOURS bonding over it. She loves it, as do I, but those moments we have where we hold eachother and listen to such lovely, heartfelt music, moments without having to think of dialysis, meds, injections and doctors - it kept us tethered. Kept me going. She finally got her kidney in October and I have learned 8 songs for myself but just found this and cant WAIT to play it for her. She is going to love it! Sorry for the long story it just means SO much to me that I can play this for her and wanted you to know exactly what it means that you have it here for us so clearly, simply and brightly! :)
No apology needed! Your story touched me, and I just wanted to wish you, your daughter and your family all the very best. I hope that the years since your comment on here have been kind and prosperous to you all, and that the years ahead will continue to be so. Did you stay on your journey with your uke? I have been learning it for about 5 months now, and am loving it. ❤
i started playing the uke about a month and a half ago; this was the first song i tried to learn but i couldn't get it. i thought i would never be able to switch chords fast enough and sing along, but now i can do both! i'm even having to slow down to match the correct pace. thank you for this tutorial - you are an amazing teacher. :)
serena grace hey not to worry , I thought it was a bad Ukulele, so I bought a new one... And it wasn't any good aether. So I bought a 3ed and took a class , then thing's..Got better... improved.
Hi Cynthia! I'm a third grade teacher learning/teaching ukulele with our librarian (who can play like an angel!) and this makes our whole world better, more beautiful, and richer. Thanks for teaching me this song- the kiddos are going to love it
I can't thank you enough for this. I grew up in Hawaii, and was told back in 4th grade that I am awful at playing the uke. After that, i actually hadn't touched a musical instrument at all until this Christmas. I decided to give it a try again, and with the help of your videos, I'm GETTING IT!!!! I honestly can't thank you enough for putting these amazing videos together and giving me confidence to try again!!! Many mahalos!!
When the internet makes me feel like people as a whole suck, it's videos like this that remind me that people can be amazing. You help me regain my faith in humanity.
Pixar purposely made this song super easy to play so that parents could play it for their children and kids could learn it too. I hate how genius Pixar is.
My 4 year old is obsessed with this song! He is trying to learn uke, I think he's working his way up to this song, haha! So far he's got down C chord, working on F, and daily he asks me when he gets to learn G7, lol! Thanks for breaking the song down for us! He loves watching you play!
Cynthia! You're tutorials are gold! I have been playing the ukulele for a month and your videos are helping me play AND sing at the same time! I used to get thrown off as soon as I start singing but it's slowly improving. What a star! :)
This is my third day learning how to play the ukulele and this song has inspired me to go on even further it's sweet and simple! It's perfect to learn C G7 and F!
I have been play the ukulele for only about 2 weeks now. I am 48 an my son said I am to old to learn an instrument since I have never played anything before. With your teaching habits I am really loving it and I am showing him. I just wanted to say thank you!!!!
This is the BEST tutorial on UA-cam!!!! And you sound amazing too!!! Thank you for posting tutorials!!! Please don't stop!!! I can't wait to learn all your other tutorials!! I learned this one so fast and you made it easy!!!! Thank you!!!
Cynthia, I have to thank you. I have been self learning uke for 9 months now, including using youtube. Until this week I had not come across you! I have gone from blundering through songs to playing and singing whole songs. Thank you so much, you are an amazing teacher. You have helped me so, so much, I cannot believe how much I have improved just this week. You have a beautiful voice and are so sweet. Thank you from the bottom of my heart x. Plus this song, just gorgeous.
I'm almost sure about the intro/verse now, and I got my ukulele two days ago. I can't feel my fingers, but it's worth it in the endXD I'm sure I'll be able to learn it, so I can play it without looking at either the ukulele or the chordpaper. It is because of you that I bought my first uke, and I already love it. You are a very good teacher! Thank you for being on youtube!!! Love your videos!!!
I learned this song for my daughter by her “request”. She sings as pretty as you do Cynthia. We do this little duet and love it. My guilty pleasure is I love playing it all the time- even when she is not around. Just a really fun song to play. Thanks so much.
We are learning this during hurricane Dorian in FL (2019) on our ukulele. This will keep us great company when the electricity goes out soon. You are so beautiful with the volcano sounds added! My son is 11 and almost got it with this tutorial! Thank you!!!!
great song, great voice, great editing. Its a real pleasure to see you play and to learn the Uk thanks to you . Hope you keep making more videos like this. Thank you!!!
Haha, I just love your tutorials. Thank you Cynthia. You opened a world of beauty and joy through playing the uke. Just feeling so grateful for you ❤️🙏🏼
Outstanding. No tutorial could help me get a voice as beautiful as yours Cynthia, but hopefully this will help me to learn this tune for my little lavas. Thank you.
+Andrew Daley After trying for ages to learn the Ukelele I came across Arthurs Uke Blog and this appears to be the simplest online method (check it out on google)
I've just started "playing" the ukulele. Your lessons have been very helpful because you go slow and clearly demonstrate various skills that I've been struggling! I've been practicing about 20 minutes a day plus have added finger exercises! Thank you so much!
i love that song.. i sing the italian version.. and now i bought a uke on christmas and im playing everyday so i can play and sing like you.. yours videos are really good .. xx
Omg! It took me 5 years to learn to play an Ukuele and learn to play this song! 😭! This is amazing! Im so proud of myself. This was one of my first videos Mahalo!!
This video is now my favorite! I just got my ukulele yesterday and wanted my first song to be Lava. And the first video I thought looked really good was yours. And I was true. This helped my a lot. And I was wondering if u are an ukulele teacher? And if you are how much will it be? 😂 (your just so good at teaching!)😂❤️🙂😙
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’ve been watching all your beginner videos but this one I’ve started slowly (.75 speed) then full speed. Then singing along to you play. Then playing and singing. Its so much fun! I teach in a school and the children love this short so to play it is a real joy!
SAMEEE! It was exactly the same thing that happened to me two days ago. I can almost play the intro/verse to this song already! We owe Cynthia a big thank you from all of us!
Your right unicorn 🦄 your absolutely right she really is an awesome soul she really helped many people learn to love the ukalale sooo ya I really thank you 😊 for that
Oh my gosh. Was looking for a simple Mele Kalikimaka tab for my kiddo, and now we've sat and watched 4 vids, and I am just so tickled about how adorable you are, and how accessible you make the music. Love it!
The song is peaceful as is your voice as you sing.. keep making these sweet song version and can you also cover que Sera Sera by the lennon sisters on uke .. thanks so much.. Loveee from India 🇮🇳♥ P.s - I hope someday maybe I will try to play like u !!
This was my first song to learn on the ukelele. I wish there were more videos like this that had the words with the cords. Then the cords shown in the side... so so helpful!! Please do more like this!
After 3 weeks of continuously watching this video today I played lava all the way through and I lost it thank you so much you’re videos make it so a guy like me can play something this beautiful thank you
Almost? I always cry when I hear it, and I'm married. Maybe it's because it took what seemed like forever for us to find each other and there was a long time when I'd given up hope, then 5 years of a long distance relationship with my wife.
Mahalo for the chord chart sis! My little guy is obsessed with this song right now so now I can play it for him at home while he dances around and asks me endless questions about volcanoes.
I just started playing the uke. I had to learn the island strum. down down up up down up. so much fun, this is my kid's fav. song played on the uke, so it means so much you broke it down so east for us. Thank you!
+Reagan Getman if you have updated your UA-cam player, you can change the video speed to fast or slow. If you haven't updated your player just look it up on UA-cam and someone will show you.
Thank you! That was amazing! One of my favourite ever Pixar shorts. I've been learning the ukulele for about 5 months now. I've a long way to go but I'm loving the journey so far, and video tutorials like yours make me hopeful it's a journey I'll stay on, and that I might learn enough to do the ukulele justice one day! ❤
Thank you! I learnt this song 3-4days of my uke arriving!!! I also learnt from her island strum tutorial! Now I’ve had it for a week and 2days and can play stand by me and brown eyed girl. But trying to sing and play?! That is a challenge for me! Thank you Cynthia!!!
I just got my signature CL ohana Ukulele (electric concert) today and the first thing I did was play this song. I cant wait to go back through all your videos and relearn them on this beautiful instrument designed by you. I’m absolutely thrilled.
A long long time ago There was a volcano Living all alone in the middle of the sea He sat high above his bay Watching all the couples play And wishing that he had someone too And from his lava came This song of hope that he sang out loud Every day For years and years I have a dream I hope it will come true That you're here with me And I am here with you I wish that the earth, sea, and the sky up above Will send me someone to lava Years of singing all alone Turned his lava into stone Until he was on the brink of extinction But little did he know That living in the sea below Another volcano Was listening to his song Everyday she heard his tune Her lava grew and grew Because she believed his song was meant for her Now she was so ready to meet him above the sea As he sang his song of hope for the last time I have a dream I hope it will come true That you're here with me And I am here with you I wish that the earth, sea, and the sky up above Will send me someone to lava Rising from the sea below Stood a lovely volcano Looking all around But she could not see him He tried to sing to let her know That she was not there alone But with no lava, his song was all gone He filled the sea with his tears Watched his dreams disappear As she remembered what his song meant to her I have a dream I hope will come true That you're here with me And I am here with you I wish that the earth, sea, and the sky up above Will send me someone to lava Oh they were so happy To finally meet above the sea All together now their lava grew and grew No longer are they all alone With Aloha as their new home And when you go and visit them this is what they sing I have a dream I hope it will come true That you will grow old with me, and I will grow old with you We thank the earth, sea, and the sky we thank too I lava you I lava you I lava you

I can't believe that 38 people did not like this video! They are either deaf or jealous, you did a beautiful job. Thank You!
Thomas Stanford probably because it's so fast! I can't seem that fast yet. But she never says it was an easy song to play... like for beginners.
It’s up to 295. I’m sure that if someone made a video of curing cancer there would still be trolls thumbing down.
Actually, now its 355.

Gerardo Olvera Puente more than almost.
I kinda thought there was a piece of hair on my screen I was blowing my phone saying "WHY ISNT IT COMING OFF"

Almost? I always cry when I hear it, and I'm married. Maybe it's because it took what seemed like forever for us to find each other and there was a long time when I'd given up hope, then 5 years of a long distance relationship with my wife.

Love this song. Great job Cynthia. I am learning it. Now if I could only sing!!
The sound effects for the part where the male volcano is rising up is awesome! I loved it! ❤❤ thanks for the video!
This is so wonderful Cynthia. They asked me to sing this for a special 5th grader's graduation party at school and you nailed it again!
Happy to let you know I am getting ready for ukulele lessons!
Thank you! That was amazing!
One of my favourite ever Pixar shorts. I've been learning the ukulele for about 5 months now.
I've a long way to go but I'm loving the journey so far, and video tutorials like yours make me hopeful it's a journey I'll stay on, and that I might learn enough to do the ukulele justice one day! ❤
You, this song! make my heart sing!😊
My favourite happy song! Thank you
she has a beautiful voice 😊
This puts a smile on my face everytime
Lavaly. I got to play this on guitar at my son's preschool. Seeing how simple it is on the ukulele, I wish I'd seen this sooner. Thank you!
My teacher always waches you and you are sooooooo amazing 😍😍😍😍😍😍
her voice is amazing
You taught my daughter a lot! Thank you. She loves your videos. She is 9

I love this song so much
I love playing this song with you. So fun! It's great that you list the chords, show the chords and lyrics. It makes it much easier to follow along.
I learned to play the ukulele just to play this song! Thanks for the easy cord chart.
I LAVA this song!!

OMG!! I cannot like this enough times!! You're a queen, a princess and an angel!! 😍
Beautifully done. Thank you.
Had so much fun playing along with this song & easy chords 💗
I like how she speaks !
A long long time ago
There was a volcano
Living all alone in the middle of the sea
He sat high above his bay
Watching all the couples play
And wishing that he had someone too
And from his lava came
This song of hope that he sang out loud
Every day
For years and years
I have a dream
I hope it will come true
That you're here with me
And I am here with you
I wish that the earth, sea, and the sky up above
Will send me someone to lava
Years of singing all alone
Turned his lava into stone
Until he was on the brink of extinction
But little did he know
That living in the sea below
Another volcano
Was listening to his song
Everyday she heard his tune
Her lava grew and grew
Because she believed his song was meant for her
Now she was so ready to meet him above the sea
As he sang his song of hope for the last time
I have a dream
I hope it will come true
That you're here with me
And I am here with you
I wish that the earth, sea, and the sky up above
Will send me someone to lava
Rising from the sea below
Stood a lovely volcano
Looking all around
But she could not see him
He tried to sing to let her know
That she was not there alone
But with no lava, his song was all gone
He filled the sea with his tears
Watched his dreams disappear
As she remembered what his song meant to her
I have a dream
I hope will come true
That you're here with me
And I am here with you
I wish that the earth, sea, and the sky up above
Will send me someone to lava
Oh they were so happy
To finally meet above the sea
All together now their lava grew and grew
No longer are they all alone
With Aloha as their new home
And when you go and visit them this is what they sing
I have a dream I hope it will come true
That you will grow old with me, and I will grow old with you
We thank the earth, sea, and the sky we thank too
I lava you
I lava you
I lava you
