Winter Came At Last ( Words and Music by Norman Wibe)

Snowflakes, snowflakes, whirlin´all around me
paintin´everythin´in white
chills my sole
but warms my soul
I´ve been waitin´for your light

Snowflakes, snowflakes, driftin´everywhere
showin´off their awesome might
from here to pole
you make us whole
fill our hearts with endless joy,
just enjoy,
it feels so right

Darlin´ let´s go for a ride
Here, come by my side
we´ll fly, into the snow
so let me guide you
let´s make our ride to
a magic place that only
we know about !

Snowflakes, snowflakes, how I longed for you
all my prayers are fulfilled !
so let it stay
from now till May
and let us ski so far away

Darlin´ let´s go for a ride
Here, come by my side
we´ll fly, into the snow
so let me guide you
let´s make our ride to
a magic place that only
we know about !

Recorded with Mixcraft 8 pro, Rev and Comp used

Dani, this sounds great. The backing tracks are spot on. I liked the chord progression also. The vocal is excellent.

fill our hearts with endless joy,
just enjoy,
Not when I'm shoveling the darn stuff grin

PS - No snow here yet. That is extremely unusual. If this keeps up my show blower will last for years wink

Cool tune Dani. No pun intended. We have been having a very mild winter. We were suppose to be in the -20 C range but has been hovering at 0 C. Still lots of winter left. Happy New Year

I really dig your lower voice - solid and expressive.
Well done.
I thought you might like this hit in Oz in 1965

Posted By: Deryk - PG Music Re: WINTER CAME AT LAST - 01/08/21 11:07 AM
I really liked this - loved your vocals on it, makes for a fun listen smile Nicely mixed too, and the instrumentation works perfectly with your lower register voice.

Thanks for sharing!

Vocals are so cool on this, Dani. "chills my sole, but warms my soul" We got 15 inches here just before Christmas. Maybe I could get a good deal on Mario's snow blower.
Posted By: dani48 Re: WINTER CAME AT LAST - 01/08/21 06:36 PM
Hi, Mario !

Thank you so very much for
your most kind words really
much appreciated !

Snow, well, where I lived
before we had such amounts
of snow during winter that
I also found it hard to cope
with but nowadays the winters
up here are so warm that we hardly
get any snow at all, at least down
here in the Southern parts of
Finland !

Cheers
Dani

Where we are on the island we don't really get snow. We had one very light snow fall that washed away in a couple hours and that was it! But back when I was in Ontario things got pretty blanketed. Thanks for the nostalgia and for sharing the song!

Hi Dani ...

Another piece of wonderful music from you. I agree with others that your deeper vocal register is a real treat. Where I currently live, Alabama, snow hardly ever happens. But where I grew up (Missouri) snow is sure to fall at least a few times each year.

Although about the coldest part of the year, your song sent a warm feeling throughout my body.

Di and I hope 20212 is a wonderful year for you and yours.

Hi, Scott !

The winters up here
have also been quite mild
and snowless so you can
understand my joy when we lastly
got some !:))

Not really enough yet but they
have estimated that we can get
some 30 cm down here soon, so....

...need to start waxing my skis....!!

Thank you for your most kind words !
I hope for a change of weather for
you too !!

Cheers
Dani

A really nice tune Dani! I liked the chord progression, it kept going in unexpected directions and you handled it in fine fashion! Great job on the vocals! T

Hi, Marty !


Thank you for your most kind

of no snowing in the forseeable
future (chuckle) !

I'm more a spring person, but your warm voice and summery instrumentation make me feel comfortable in the middle of these cold days and snowy roads. The chord progression has enjoyable classic Christmas time mood.

Dear Moto !


I hope you didn´t get the chills
out of my tune ? In that case - sorry !

In any case I want to thank you
so much for your most appreciated

Your song (instrumentation and composition) evokes a winter feel---like gliding along in a sleigh.

I lived for many years in Michigan's Upper Peninsula where there was no shortage of snow and there were an abundance of people with Finnish ancestry.

I enjoyed your song!

Dani,
Beautiful harmony / vocals! Very smooth seasonal tune. Enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Dani
Lovely composition and enjoyed the vocal in your lower register. Despite the winter theme, the harmonies gave me a little bit of a Pet Sounds vibe.
Regards,
Leon

Hi, Leon !


Your reference to Pet Sounds
is indeed very interesting
but I guess you got that
impression from the odd
chord progressions ?

In any case, I do not
come close to master Brian
who is a magician when it comes
to creating super tunes !
I do, my friend,feel
much obliged to you
for your most kind words
truly much appreciated !:))

Take Care and Stay Safe !

Cheers
Dani

Stay Safe and Take Care !
