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 !

Cheers
Dani

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.) smile

Thanks for sharing this one.
