Hi, friends ! Sorry for having been off side for too long but there´s not much I´ve been able to do to it as I´ve been in a frantic episode of my life with among other things travels abroad ! In any case, I found an older song I had written before and thought that perhaps I could finish it somehow and here is the result: http://soundcloud.com/user-337827005/sooth-me http://app.box.com/s/52vfwfjznosonpa6dx92abosmarlq04r ...and here are the lyrics: SOOTH ME ! (MUSIC AND LYRICS BY NORMAN WIBE) When I´m feelin´blue I´ll be turnin´to you you´re the only one noone else around ´cause you´re so true always so true When I´m feelin´sad and it feels truly bad you take away my pain easin´all the strain makin´ me so glad baby so glad There are times when darkness fills my inner mind when I feel I´m just left behind sooth me, baby just sooth me in your arms that´s where I wanna be Verse solo Take away my pain ease all my strain and I´m so glad baby so glad Since we met I´m not alone feels so good to strike a tone that´s new and not too old almost like of gold feels like our love,my darling, it has grown feels like our love,my darling, it has grown Recorded with mixcraft 7 pro, compressor and reverb used ! STYLE: HEPN120.STY INSTROS: Bass 684, Piano: 2495, Drums: RD:s Nashville even8/hihat ride, Guitar 1: 405, Guitar 2: 543, soloist = Guitar 3: 1356 Brent ! Cheers Dani

I liked the feel of the song, but I feel it was disrupted by the choice of the twangy type guitar solo -
like the solo was being stretched to a tempo where it suddenly sounded like a distraction (who is that guitar god noodling like yngwie J Malmsteen in the background?)
I am also a mixcraft 7 user - they would have done much better building version 8 around a BIAB intgration instead of that melodyne work they did. Perhaps its sour grapes because I already have the full melodyne software and their integration doesnt add much for me :-)

Hi FabKebab !
Very many thanks to you for taking the time to listen and comment ! Thank you so much for that ! the Guitar God is Brent Mason and there are not many there who can play these kind of fills, you do agree, don´t you ? :))
Take Care
Cheers Dani

Dani,
I really like this song - one of your best, I think. Very nice melody. Your vocal and harmonies are well done.
I did not care for the guitar fills... they don't fit the sweetness of the song. It was busy. I think a different lead instrument would suit the song better. A smooth sax, maybe? An e. piano?
Cool song.

I agree about the musicianship - but I think it is played too fast at the tempo of your song and would be better removed from this track

Hi, Floyd !
Thank you for your most kind and instructive words ! I did change the tune i.e. I did take the fills away but left the solo as I could not change it anymore !

Dani,
It's great to see a new post from you! I'm real glad you've taken time out from gallivanting around and have put together this latest from your songwriting desk.
I enjoyed it. As floyd said, I reckon that this is one of your best. You've done a terrific job!
Best wishes to you and Li on your travels, Noel

Very smooth, Dani. Good to hear one from you! (If I was going to be pulled away from the forum, I would like for it to be due to traveling abroad, as long as it was for fun.)  Thanks for sharing this one. Steve
