Hi, friends !

I regret having been away
for so long but I have been down in
Spain with Li to buy a flat that I
dubbed MARIANICO after a certain
street close to it! It really
is a a gem that you want to visit
as often as possible with a wonderful
view over the Mediterranean and so
close to the beach and sea that you
only need to step over a paved road
and you´re straight in the water !:))

The Style is: GLORIA.STY
and the instros are:
Synbass: 39, Elec. piano: 5
Drums: RD:s Pop Bouncy
Guitar: GM2 28/1
Strings: GM2 49/1
Voice OOohs: 54 voice oohs
Voice Aahs: 3063

Links:

http://soundcloud.com/user-337827005/marianico

http://app.box.com/s/77xpoqnipt17zc2n21vgkcnwdad8yked

Recorded with Mixcraft 8 pro, compressor and reverb used.

Here are the Lyrics:

MARIANICO Music and Words by Norman Wibe

I´ve been waitin´
for so long
I´ve been waitin´
for to sing this song

It´s on my mind
day and night
oh what a find
feels allright

You ought to know
this is all about, yeah all about
our summerplace down there in Spain

It´s on the fifth
all attico !
what a gift
My Marianico!

Can´t believe
what a view
you will percieve
from the roof so new !

By now you think you know
all about, yeah all about
our summerplace down there in Spain

Darlin´
let´s go to Spain
let´s do it
let´s go down to Spain
again, and again
wanna go now, no let´s run !
there we´ll be havin´so fun
surfin´along in the sun

It´s so cool
though hot outside
makes you drool
viewing the tide

rollin´in
from the sea
we´re fallin´
for it me and Li

Now you´re sure you know
all about, yeah all about
our summerplace down there in Spain

Darlin´
let´s go to Spain
let´s do it
let´s go down to Spain
again, and again
wanna go now, no let´s run !
there we´ll be havin´so fun
surfin´along in the sun
me and my Darlin´

Cheers
Dani

Dani,
I like your arrangement. Also, I thought your vocal modulations are very interesting in this tune! Very positive vibe. Probably all that vitamin D from the sun smile
Thank you for sharing!

Hi Dani,

Love it!!!

It's great to see you back on the forum again. If the picture on Soundcloud is taken from you flat, it's a terrific view. And the water is so clear!

I hope that you and Li have a wonderful Christmas and terrific 2020!

Hi Dani,

this is definitely one of my favourite songs from you, Like mostly it sounds so refreshingly different and I like your vocals anyway. Very cool. Or rather hot - afzer all it's about Spain.

All the best and happy holidays,

Stefan

Hi, Greg !

Thank you for your most
kind words ! Real Estate Prices
are lower than up here in
Scandinavia - don´t know
what the general price is
it depends on facts like
place, size, condition etc.
Older flats use to go
furnitured and so in our
case too !

Have yourself a most Merry X-mas
and may the oncoming New Year
become one of your best !

Cheers
Dani
