and here are the lyrics:

NOSE TO NOSE ( WORDS AND MUSIC BY NORMAN WIBE)

Babe, love me
kiss me, like only you can do
hold me, tightly
lovely, close to you
close to you

Everywhere we go
you make the sun shine bright
everyone I know
says it´s allright

Smiles are all around
as we´re walkin´off the ground
floatin´by your side
feels great inside

Babe, squeeze me
Darlin´always love me true
feelin´groovy
hug me, I love you
I love you

Everywhere we go
you make the sun shine bright
everyone I know
says it´s allright

Smiles are all around
as we´re walkin´off the ground
floatin´by your side
feels great inside

Babe, let us be this sweetly close
nose to nose to nose

Babe, love me
kiss me, like only you can do
hold me, tightly
lovely, close to you
close to you

Everywhere we go
you make the sun shine bright
everyone I know
says it´s allright

Smiles are all around
as we´re walkin´off the ground
floatin´by your side
feels great inside

Babe, let us be this sweetly close
nose to nose to nose to nose
so close nose to nose

Dani,

Your voices ( all of them, including that deep bass!) are in fine form here.
A fun song and I enjoyed the key changes that keep things building.
Very enjoyable.

Dani, I have always been a fan of your chord progressions. This is no exception. The falsetto sounds great and the whole production is terrific. Tom

Well done, Norman. smile

The bass vocal is especially nice - deep and rich.

(We saw the Broadway show "Motown" last night... so I was ready for this!)

A real "feel good" write - which much of Motown was...

Super vocal Dani. Loved the falsetto and the harmonies. I'd say your voice is making an excellent recovery. Well done. Super backtrack too...

Dani,

Sound like you are back in action again! I enjoyed where your song carried me. The upbeat music and lyrics were an excellent listen. When it comes to songwriting, you sure are a very versatile composer!

All the best,

Thanks for sharing, Dani!


I really like the progressions on this, and your vocal delivery as well really caught my ear. The lyrics also are very engaging I find, and really carried the song through well.

Great job on this smile

Very nice. You have been able to create an excellent meldody that works very fine with Motown style.
Great listening.

Hi, Robert !:))

Very many thanks for
your most kind words !
Agree that the key changes
are necessary for the
song not to become too
monotonous !:))

My voices are not where
I´d like to have them
but I´ll have to manage
with what I have !:))

Cheers
Dani

"dani48"...

I have listened to "Nose to Nose" three times, now, and I'm listening to it as I write these comments.

I'd be willing to bet that there are a whole bunch of single (or not!) women out there who visit the "User's Forum" anonymously looking for guys who compose songs that feel and sound as fresh and innocent as "Nose to Nose" blush ! The sweetness and sensitivity of so many of the "love songs" written by men on the forum would surely lure even the most jaded and lonesome female hearts.

"dani48", you ain't forgot a dog-gone thing about what makes "love" the life-long pursuit of every single human being on this planet, and your use of the "Motown" style resurrects all the youthfully romantic excitement of that era. The rhythm is as infectious as gospel hand-claps, the chord changes are joyfully expressive of the sentiments conveyed by the lyrics, and your vocal and harmony effects are just plain ol' fun.

Sweet!
