Too late for surf (Music & Lyrics by Norman Wibe)

Down in Honolulu with my sweet little babe, ridin´on those waves
listen now, it´s easier said than done !

Hooked on a course for rookies, understandin´what it takes
to be able there to get out all the fun

”Bend, there, move here, let go all the way
stand here, take care, do just what I say”!

Tried so very hard just to learn the trade, yearnin´ for those raves
but my sense of balance had all gone !

Surely , you know it could not be no wonder in my case
in vain my instructor shouted on: !!

”Bend, there, move here, let´s go all the way
stand here, take care, do just what I say”!

Soon I realized It was´nt goin´to be
after all I might not become the surfer star I´d like to see
glidin´over roarin´sea ´at seventy, seventy !!

Hi, my friends you know they say it´s never ever too late
no matter if it was ever, ever so great
feel I´m just too old, at any rate !:))

Excellent surf tune, you may not hit the wave now, but certainly still hitting the notes on the high.!! Great tune Cliff

Dani,

You have a lock on this BIAB style! You do it so good! Loved it! You really captured the sound and mood. love key modulations, too!

70? Heck, I passed that up almost 2 years ago. Happy Birthday, youngster!

Well done dani48! I found this very easy to listen to and great work on the guitars. Nice work on the vocals and the harmonies, they remind me of the beach boys. Great job!
Posted By: HearToLearn Re: Too Late For Surf - 08/11/18 07:38 PM
You nailed the sound again. Nice job!

Happy belated Birthday BTW!

Just passed 70, nope not accepting that. That song just took me back to the 70s.
And a nostalgic trip to the beach .
And that Dani is what you do well.

Thank you Sir.

As usual a great ride the surf song with his masterfully controlled vocals.

Another winner here Dani.

PS - a belated happy birthday. Only 70! I passed that 2.5 years ago.

Here goes the forum's Brian Wilson again!! As I write this comment, I'm sitting in a condo in Kauai with an ocean view watching 12-year-old kids do some amazing work on those waves. Gets harder for us older folks, but, as said above, you still got it with the surfing tunes!! Take care. Greg

Another great surfing tune. Really enjoyed this one. You always seem to have such a fun time with them!

Dani,

You've done it again! I don't know how one even begins to create a song that has so many vocal lines weaving throughout it. It's testament to your musical skills that you make it seem so-o-o-o-o easy.

Happy birthday!!!! I sure hope that there's more of this surf sound left in you yet! You've carved yourself quite a unique little nook on the forum smile

All the best,
Noel

Nice one Dani!

Keep 'em coming. I'm (Bud) older than you and still mountain bike...gotta keep the wheels moving.

No need to retire from surf songing when you still sound like this!!

Love it!

Hello, Dani

Here goes the forum's Brian Wilson again!
Happy birthday! Congratulation for reaching 70 years.
I think that it is wonderful that your composing ability and vocals are not waning at all.
Please keep on surfing on the waves of songwriting!
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Oh man I agree with Bud. Just jeep going! Great song, too.

Hey, have you ever been surfing in a hurricane? My buddies and I did in college and I took a two story drop onto a pile of rocks and broke my board in half.

There was ABSOLUTELY no beer involved.

This is my first time hearing this - what a tune! I'm feeling the Beach Boys influence on this one, which is always a good thing in my books. I love the progressions, and the groove is perfect. I can imagine this sounding unreal in a live settings.

Great work on this, and thanks for sharing smile

Okay, as you know ol´bud´I am as always
indebted to you for your most kind words

(35 deg. C) in the shadows !!!!
Thank you so much Greg !!!

Maybe I should start to work
now on my first tune in Spanish ?
