Hi Dani.
Another song and another chance to show just how versatile you are. From the title, I was expecting the Average White Band, but ended up with Al Jarreau!
Lovely smooth jazz-funk production, just as professional as ever.
Can't wait to see what you do next.
ROG.

Cool!! Do you just use the harmony generator to generate the female version?

Dear Jo !
As I am actually a second base I use my falsetto for the "female" upper voices ! You may know that all male barbershop tenors use falsetto as it would be absolutely impossible to reach as high notes as is required by the arrangements without using falsetto. To my own surprise I have found out that many bases have very good falsettos and then there are those guys like Tim Waurick who can sing 9 octaves !! (check him out on utube) !!
Cheers Dani

Dani,
A song about writing a song. Very clever. Loved the line "so get your kicks and dig for a while as I´m not sure I´ll return with a better one we won´t know."
I liked the way you put the tracks together, the vox and sweet harmonies too. It has a cool uplifting aura.
Enjoyed it very much.

Hi, Josie !
Thank you for your kind comments very much appreciated ! I have always liked this type of music so I guess I am drawn to it ? The lyrics are always difficult for me, but I feel honoured for your kind remarks on them too !
Cheers Dani

Hi, Guenter !  Thank you for our kind comments ! Yes, (lol) I guess you are right in the sense that I can sing bass and tenor, but the middle range voices are the most difficult for me !  Yes,I grew up with The BB:s music running in my ears (Lol) ! Cheers Dani

dani,
This may be my all-time favorite danisong!!!
As a rule, I truly dislike songs that mention "writing this song". But in this case, you wrote the entire song about writing the song - and it works brilliantly!
The bass line is terrific (I think it should be a touch louder - it works that well).
The harmonies are amazing.

Hi, Aleck !
You are just all too kind my friend !:) You are right, certain sounds are Californian (LOL) I wanted to put in another soundcloud file instead of the one you commented on. Will you do the same comment on the new one ?
Cheers Dani

+1 here. I must have listened to this song maybe 10 -15 times before I penned this reply. Mainly because I still could not find the "funky" in the song, OK maybe a baseline. But what I did find and loved even more with each listen was a heart felt happy trip down memory lane, especially when watching the accompanying slide show. Bottom-line funky or not what I hear and see are wonderful moments of a loving family captured in time. The feel of the music IMHO cements the love and happiness captured in the photos. Did I say I like it? . . . well I do. Later,
