Hi, friends !:))


I got inspired by a telephone call
from a good female friend of mine
and from her postcard depicting
among other things a key !!!:))
Somehow I can´t help it, but I
do like these funky styles so much that
I decided to put the song to it:

Lyrics:

YOU CALLED ME UP (by Dani) © Dani Lindroos 2014
You called me up, that made my day
though you were far, so far away, my darling, far away!
It made me feel so good to talk to you
´cause I love your voice, you know I do

I thank you for your Birthday Card to me
I long to find out where to put the pictured key, let us see
when you´re back here with me !

solo

In my sleep at night I´ll toss around and turn
I count the hours and the days to your return

You know you really made my day today
and it feels so good to know that everything is okay
so let us hope that it will stay that way
always sunny never gray

I thank you darling you´re so nice and sweet
please forgive me if I can hardly wait until we meet
you´re so neat, so neat

solo

You fill my heart with utmost joy, my dear
so it´s no wonder that I long to be you close and near
long to be you close and near, my dear !

Hi Dani. Happy past birthday. Nice arrangement. Cheers.

Very nice Dani!! I think one of the things I love most in your music is the genuine passion. There's a youthful excitement that I would love to rediscover. Another pretty and inspiring song!! Love it! Take care. Greg

Dani,
I do like the falsetto in the background, I assume it is you.
This sounds like the best thank you for a birthday card I have ever heard.
Happy Birthday by the way!

enjoyed

Alyn

Fun and lighthearted - like a birthday should be!

Happy birthday!

Hi Dani,

as Greg said there is a genuine passion in this song as in many others of yours. But that "youthful excitement" implies heartaches and pain. That's why I'm glad I got rid of it in the late nineties. But I enjoy it in your songs. That makes them so true.
Very nice chords. I like that rhythm, too.
The falsetto in the background is very well done.
Go on riding that wave!

Guenter

dani48 great work on this on; this is outstanding! I like the chord runs Nice thanks for sharing!

A song that makes you feel happy, happy...on a happy birthday!
Anne-Marie

You sir, fill our hearts with utmost joy again and again with your inspirational and unique songs and arrangements. I really liked the backing vocals on this song.

Regards,


Charlie

Dani,

Hi, Guenter !

You are right in every aspect !
It is just that I feel I can
handle my one sided crush as
I do not have any illusions
about the future ! I like to
dream that I´m in love and it helps
me getting thru those many lonely
days I have gone thru and am still
to go !:))Maybe the loneliness
and my true feelings really are
coming thru in my songs, at least I
hope so !:))I thank you my good friend
for your most warm words. Know that I
feel humbled, yes, I do !

Cheers
Dani

"You called me up, that made my day" That's the key. Get a day made and then move on to the next. It's easy to say take them one day at a time....but isn't that really the only way to take them? Every one is a gift.

Nice! Cool chords and arrangement and vocal.....but we've come to expect that!

J&B

Yep. +1 to all the above. Thanks for sharing a really nice birthday "thank you for your card". To paraphrase someone, it was "neat, so neat!"

It's all been said, i.e. great lyrics, vocal, chord progression, and mix.

All I can add is I loved it and I hope that you had a Happy Birthday.

Dear Bud & Janice !:))

Taking one day a time is precisely
what I have been doing since my dear
wife left me for heavenly dwellings !
I feel downright humbled by your
most nice words !:))

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Patrick !:))


+ 1 to your most kind
thoughts !:))That was
really neat, really neat !:))

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Mario !:))


Thank you Mario for your
most kind words and Birthday
greetings ! Yes, I had a very
good BD, could only have been
better with my old girlfriend
here beside me !:))
Your more than nice words make
me feel humble !

Cheers
Dani

Dani,

It's always a pleasure to click onto one of your songs; we know it's going to be a real treat! And this is no exception.

We always love the laid-back, effortless sound of your music. It's relaxing and and soothing. Great job!

+1 to everything that everyone has previously said ...

Alan i Di

I saw you had remixed your song and listened again. It's quite enjoyable. You are quite talented and I agree with an earlier poster's comment that you make your vocals sound effortless and laid back. Smooth is my definition.

Regards,

Charlie

Yes, Charlie, I did
and I added some voices to it too !:))
Thanks for your revisit and nice
comment !:))

Cheers
Dani

Happy Belated birthday Dani!

This reminds me of Beach boys and Earth Wind and Fire mixed with a little Sergio for a song that's totally Dani.

Loved it.

Josie

Hi, Josie !:))


You are all too kind with me !
I feel humbled and I do thank you
for your greetings so much !:))

I can tell you that I did
not plan this tune in any
way, just fumbled about with
some chords and suddenly
the puzzle solved !:))

I am grateful that you liked
this, I know that you like
harmonies !:))

Cheers
Dani

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DANI!!!!

Sorry to be so late on this one... I was out of town for work so my access was a little here a little there..

You capture sunshine in your songs! This one seems a little 5th Dimension, a little Carpenters (which, of course means Bacharach).

Great mix on this. Well done.

floyd

Happy Birthday!

I just love the harmonies!

Well done

Dear Floyd !:))

I feel humbled by your
most kind words and I thank
you so much for your Birthday
greetings !:))

Cheers

Hi Dani,

Happy very belated birthday! I'm so late that it's probably closer to your next birthday than the last one

Very nice music. It sounds like you had a whole heap of fun putting this one together. You just keep getting better and better.

All the best,
Noel

Dear Noel !:))

No, you are not late with your greetings !
I sure am glad for them, thank you Noel !:))
You know, Noel ! That was very nicely said
of you about me getting better and better,
in fact I feel humble indeed ! I´d guess
we are all getting better the more we
work with our tunes ! (chuckle) !!:))

Have a most recuperating time over there !

Cheers
Dani
