Lyrics:

MELANCHOLY GIRL (lyrics and music by Dani)

Why is everything so grey?
Why am I so sad and blue?
Is there noone in this world for me?
Is this really where I´m supposed to be?

I´ve been down and out, they say
When you´re sad you´rnt really you
gotta raise me up and start to live
gotta take and most of all to give

Bound to walk my path and pray
that I´ll find a love so true
all my life I´ve been waiting on my part
for the one to come, to give my heart

I have so much love inside, you see
waiting for someone to give it to
and I´m still both young and oh so free
waiting for that love me do

(solo)

all my life I´ve been waiting on my part
for the one to come, to give my heart

I have so much love inside, you see
waiting for someone to give it to
and I´m still both young and oh so free
waiting for that love me do
waiting for that love me do

Yep, good harmony is a fine way to
start the new year for sure and this
tune has plenty of it to show off.

You have a wonderful signature style
and we always look forward to
hearing your latest...and this one
certainly did not disappoint. The write,
the vocals and the arrangement really
showcase your unique talents.

We enjoyed the spin!

Hi Dani.

Having read the lyrics before playing the track, I wasn't expecting something which swung as much as this did!

Great backing and excellent vocals + harmonies.

A sad song, but with a happy feel.

Another awesome tune Dani. Well done. Loved the harmonies as well

HI Dani ...

You have your own, very recognizable style ... and we love it! The music tracks reminded us a little bit of the Partridge Family. You have a soft and pleasant vice ... so easy to listen to. The harmony was terrific! Nice solo, too! We loved it ... thank you ... in harmony from both of us ...

Dani, It's great hearing those harmonies. Reminds me Brian Wilson. Super chord progression and and arrangement. Well mixed. I don't remember you playing on anything before. So you've got a few tricks up your sleeve. Way to go! Tom
Posted By: Greg Johnson Re: MELANCHOLY GIRL - 01/06/16 11:44 PM
Really cool music and harmonies!! The way the music wanders, never resolving but always keeping the listener going, reminds me of Todd Rundgren. This is very sweet Dani! Enjoyed it much!! Glad to see you around! Take care. Greg

You know Tom !

I am an old rhytm guitarrist
and it is only lately that I have taken
up lead guitar playing which is not
my strongest side.......learning all the time, though !

I started playing lead when one of my
old band members ( The Bananas)
wanted me to join his band ! We have
just started and we try to play a lot
of old Shads´and Ventures´hits from
way back ! I´ll send you a demo attached
to a PM ! Now, my good Tom, I must thank you
for your most kind words really much appreciated !

Cheers
Dani

Hi Dani,

It's great to see another song from you!

This is superb. The melody and the accompaniment are fantastic. I love the way this upbeat backing gives a sense of hope to the lyrics. Great harmony, too. I have to hand it to you, there's no other Finnish crooner like you smile

Best wishes for a great 2016,
Noel

Dani, this is one of your best!

I think FJ mentioned the pop sound, someone else mentioned Brian Wilson, yeah, it sure has a catchy vibe.

It's a solid write and the production showcases your signature sound.
Posted By: David Snyder Re: MELANCHOLY GIRL - 01/24/16 11:02 AM
This is really cool! It has a warm, uplifting Beach Boys kind of a vibe--in a great way.

Awesome job!

Dani, as usual you nailed this one my friend!

Great vocal, super lyrics, super guitar playing and great backing tracks. You are the master at this style of song.

Very pleasant song Dani. I especially liked the background voices. Good mix, chord progression and the guitar licks were nice. Once again I enjoyed the listen.

Dani,

I`m glad when good songs get bumped - its nice for us newbies to hear something we missed.
This is really smooth and has a great swing to it... and your unmistakable vocal style is a perfect fit.
You put care and effort into the harmonies on your songs and they really shine here. Great ending!

Robert
