This song is a tribute to 'How I Met Your Mother', one of my favourite sitcoms ever. When I recorded it I hoped that it might get played in the show's final episode. And even though this, sadly, did not happen, I want to thank everyone that shared the video with the cast and crew on Twitter - the creators saw this video and praised it!

"The Yellow Umbrella"

Kids, did I ever tell ya the story of the yellow umbrella?
There's a couple of versions, and you know the short one
So sit down and I'll tell you the long one

It all started on the day your aunt and uncle first got engaged
When across the room I saw someone
She was special, just not 'the one'

'Cause it involves fate and chance
Well-intentioned gestures of romance
Girls and suits, blue french horns and red cowboy boots
Codes got broken and so did some hearts
But everything played its part
There are friends and lovers and so many others
In the story of how I met your mother

I've had some close calls in my time
There were weddings - one of them mine
A movie where I was wrongly portrayed
Bets and fights and leaps of faith

She saw me giving a speech
One time I glimpsed her feet
But just like your mother's yellow umbrella
Eventually we got together

'Cause love involves fate and chance
Well-intentioned gestures of romance
Girls and suits, blue french horns and red cowboy boots
Codes got broken and so did some hearts
But everything played its part
There are friends and lovers and so many others
In the story of how I met your mother
