Hi, friends !:))

Happened to stumble upon
this style i.e._SOFTAMP.STY
and somehow it felt suitable
for a little surf tune so I had to
try ! The story is about the old surfer
recalling those wonderful days spent
out on the deep blue !

The links are here:

....and the lyrics are here:


TAKE ME DOWN TO THE BEACH (Music and Words by Norman Wibe)

Take me, take me, down to the beach
leave me there with my memories
all those great rides now out of reach
come to me as I look at the rising seas

The rolling surf, the giant waves
oh how fun it was to ride and to race

Thank you nice guys who brought me here
here alone down by the ocean´s side
feelin´nostalgic to sit here and share
all my stories at the tide

Flyin´ over the deep blue sea
that´s a feelin´divine for you and for me
for you and for me

Oh how I´d love to surf again
How I´d love to do a pipeline
If I could muster my strength and gain
control again that would be fine

Sittin´here in thoughts of better days
enjoying all the sun and it´s warmest rays
in the haze, in the haze
In the haze

Well done.
The music fits with the giant waves.

Is the song about yourself? Did you surf a lot when you were younger?

Thanks for sharing,
Will

A surf song? From you?

Shocking! wink

The vocals were a bit soft, but enjoyable.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi Dani,

I had the same thought as David. Surfing, you? In Finland? Or Spain?
Beside that, it's a nice melancholic song with nice lyrics too.

But there is a but...
I think the leadvocals are a bit too soft compared with the background vocals.
Also it's difficult to understand what you sang (not the lyrics, but the vocals themselves).
Maybe you can brighten them up?

Have a nice day,
Hans

Hi, Will !

Thank you so much for your most
kind comments very much
appreciated ! Will, my friend, I
have never ever even been close
to a real life surfing board
but naturally I´ve seen it on TV
but my interest in surf music
stems from Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys
and my interest in singing in voices stems from
Johnny Mann Singers !

Cheers
Dani

Surf Dani is back and whether he has surfed or not it's good to have another BB style song.

Well done Dani and every time we hear one of your tunes we are ready to go listen
to Brian and the boys some more.

Enjoyed it!
