Hi, friends !

I wrote this tune a long time ago
but only now when I´ve got the
Daniettes backing up my vocals
have I been able to get it done !:))

It is a jazzy tune with a small solo
played on my fender !:))

Written in BIAB, mixed with Mixcraft 8,
compression and reverb used sparsely

The Style used is _SJCOOLG.STY (Smooth Jazz Cool Swsw 16)
and the instros are:

Bass:902, Piano:1995,Drums: Realdrums Smoot Jazz Cool,
Guitar 1: 1228, Daniettes: 3063 Vocal AAhs

Here are the links:

http://app.box.com/s/bzme9zm2tejhw4vs01s2hhhgbxhhkhbz

...and here are the lyrics:

It´s Only Just A Dream (Words & Music by Norman Wibe)

When day turns into night, babe
and you´re not here beside me, dear
I´ll dream that I can feel you there
beneath my quilt, so light
I can hear your breathin´,almost quitely
it lessens my anxiety

´cause I know you, I feel your scent so sweet
and I love you, just more by every beat,
beat of my heart, that is the part
that is struck by Love´s own dart. Oh, babe !!!

I´ll turn around t´wards you, babe
I wanna hug you so sweetly dear
I wanna feel you close and near
and that is what I´ll do
caressin´ you so quitely, gently,
lovin´ you so dearly, dear

cause I know you, I feel your scent so sweet
and I love you, just more by every beat,
beat of my heart, that is the part
that is struck by Love´s own dart. Oh, babe !!!

Solo

You kiss me cutely in my sleep, bahe
I can feel the moist right on my lip
I can touch your tongue with my own tip
and I know I´m in it deep
you turn me on, my darlin, spiritually
though it´s only just virtually

cause I know you, I feel your scent so sweet
and I love you, just more by every beat,
beat of my heart, that is the part
that is struck by Love´s own dart. Oh, babe !!!

It´s only just a dream
You know I´m in it deep
You know I´m deep in sleep
It´s only just a dream
You know I´m in it deep
You know I´m deep in sleep,
sleep

Cheers
Dani

Dani, this is one great song with a very nice guitar lead thrown into the mix.

Two thumbs up.

Yes! That jazz sound is very nice with the smooth vocal.

And a swing feel is ALWAYS good for us.

"It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing!"

Great vocal and a fine mix too.

Enjoyed it!

Really nice job on this smile The groove is fantastic, and your vocals compliment the jazzy vibes perfectly. Plus - as someone else mentioned, the chords selection here is very unique. The whole experience is just really nice on the ears.

Great work and thanks for sharing!
