Hi, friends !:))


I know I should not have posted this version
as I am suffering from a bout of flu and I
know I can´t do my best on the falsetto but,
as I am flying to Spain to rumble on the beaches
over there I decided to post this surf tune !:))

Pat wanted me to come up with another and
this is what I could do for the moment !:))

This is the rewritten tune:

My Surfin´Lady (Music & Words by Norman Wibe)

If you´d only let me be your one and only love I´d be you true
If you´d only let me hold you in my arms again I´d love you, only you
I feel so down, when you´re not around
I feel so blue, and you know that it´s true
yes you do,
so, let´s go
to a place,
far away, …...babe, there I´d

give my heart to you and promise I´d be yours forever, ever more,
there we´ll fly together for the rest of our days, yeah to that shore, faraway shore
and I´d feel fine
when I know you are mine
there we´ll stay
surfin´all day
in the sun, on the sea

There,
beneath the deep blue sky
we´ll be together day and night
with all that´s in my might
I will take you so high,so high

and I´ll give my heart to you and promise I´d be yours forever, ever more,
there we´ll fly together for the rest of our days, yeah to that shore, faraway shore
and I´d feel fine
when I know you are mine
there we´ll stay
surfin´all day…..and,

when you let me hold you in my arms again, you´ll know that I love you
I love you !

Hi, guys have a most pleasant
surfing season !:))

Cheers
Dani

Hey Dani!
So glad you came back with another Beach Boys style song before you leave for the Beach in Spain (I'm so jealous!)

Between you and Robb you're cornering the market for songs from this era! I had forgotten how much I enjoy these songs! You credit me with being the one who talked you into this, but I think you're having the same effect on me! I'm already talking to a forum guru about a collaboration on a song from this era!

I love how you mimic the chord progressions and innocent lyrical themes from this period, when phrases like "Promise I'd be yours forever more" sounded more like the expression of an ideal than a cliche.

I could tell that there were more than 2 vocal parts, but on my system everything below the two highest ones got lost in the shuffle. Or maybe it was that lush 60s reverb... ;-)

Anyway.. THANKS for coming back for an encore before exiting the stage for your beach holiday! I hope that while you sit on the beach you'll have a pencil and pad in hand, writing more of these beach inspired love songs!

From the barbershop to the beach...a Dani odyssey!!

There are a LOT of folks who would LOVE to be able to
sing like that -- flu or not.

So cool!!!

We love it...

J&B

Really a beautiful song u have here Dani ! Enjoyed my listen...

Another great effort Dani
Sorry about the flu, make sure you leave it behind in Spain. Safe traveling!

Hi, Pat !:))

Thank you Pat for your most kind words !:))
Yes, Pat, I am a child of that golden era
when they made heavenly music and the whole
musical world exploded !:))

Guess they would say that I´m old fashioned
and why wouldn´t I be ? I like the music
that rode along with me since childhood !

If there´ll be time I promise to come up later
with a new surf tune after the Spain session !
I´ll be there from the 27 th of april to the 11 th of May
and my grown up kids will stay in my flat taking
care of my two cats !:))

I wish you all the best with your intended tune
from that glorious era and with the eventual collaboration !:))

Take Care

Cheers
Dani

this song somehow reminds me a little bit of I'm Mandy fly me of 10CC.
which will have something to do with the smooth backing vocals

good work Dani!

Cool song, wonderful harmonies!! So, I guess you guys are a surfing couple now? I dig the Dani "Brian Wilson" sound! Enjoyed it!! Take care. Greg

Hi Dani,

sorry about your flu. But I can't hear it.
With this one you really caught the sound of the
era. Beautiful harmonies.
The beginning of the verses remind me of a song I can't
remember. Please help, anybody. It drives me crazy.

Guenter

Dear Janice & Bud !

I am humble enough but my
reference to my flu had to
do with my shortcomings on
the falsettos which can be
clearly heard !:))

I do thank you both so much
for your most kind comments !:))

Cheers
Dani

Thank you Trygve !:))

I am afraid that it may sound
like a thousand other tunes
with similar types of chord-progressions
but without having any specific in mind
I tried to make one following my own
melody line but I can have missed
the point ! I just wanted to write
a tune I´d love to sing in many voices !


Cheers
Dani

Hi, Trevor !:))

I thank you so much for
your encouraging and kind words !
I was not able to do what I really
wanted referring to my restrictions
on the falsettos and the tune may
sound like a thousand other ones
from that era !:))
I so dig the Beach Boys type music
i.e. surf music !


Cheers
Dani

Hi, Rob & Anne-Marie !

Thank you both for your most
kind words !:))
This tune will undoubtedly sound
like a thousand other tunes
of the surf era and that is no
wonder as the progressions remind
you of so many other tunes !

The point is that I wanted to
write a song that I would love
to sing and I can only hope that
it does not remind anyone too much
of any particular song. At least
I did not have any in mind writing it
just loved the chord progressions !

Cheers
Dani

Sweet song, much enjoyed!

Hi, Greg !:))

We are going down to Spain next week
naturally not to surf, that is just
wishful lyrics (chuckle)!!!

I had to write something that
I could perform and post for the
forum members as i cannot do
any covers ! When I wrote this
tune I did not have any specific
tune in mind but there must be
lots of tunes with similar or close
to similar chord progressions as
that was the way of that golden era
we´ve left behind !

I do thank you Greg for your
most kind words !

Cheers
Dani

Dear friend !

I would like to help you
so that you would not need
to become crazy. I can tell
you, though, that I did not have
any specific tune in mind when I wrote
this ! I am perfectly sure that you
will find thousands of tunes from that
era with similar or close to similar
type of chord progressions as that was
the way of the day !:))

I did write this just to be able to
perform and post something that was´nt
a cover and that I´d love to do !

It was more or less an experiment on
what kind of sounds I could improvise
on a nice melody as I am a very big fan
of surf music in general and Brian Wilson´s music
in particular !

I do thank you so much for your
most kind words and you know that
I had you in mind when trying to
fix some nice harmonies !

Hope you´ll find that tune that will
hinder you from going crazy soon !:))



Cheers
Dani

Hi, Lawrence !:))


Thank you for your most kind words!
I am glad that you liked the song as
I know that you also dig sweet harmonies
(in this case maybe not perfect, but
nonetheless)

Cheers
Dani

Hi Dani,

It's not the chordprogression, it's that specific melody:





I hope that somebody can help me.

Guenter

Dani!!!

WOW!

I love this!

A little bit "Girls On The Beach". A little bit "Surfer Girl". A little "God Only Knows".... Classic!

Awesome chord changes. Beautiful harmonies.

Whatever made this happen... keep it up!!!

Dang!

floyd

Dear friend !

Maybe you could try
some of the apps where
you can get the name of
a tune by playing it
for your telephone ?

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Floyd !:))


I don´t really know what happened
other than I discovered this surf style
on the 2016 everything pak and it
just forced me to try different chord
progressions on it !:))

This style is so wonderful and
recalls all the beautiful sounds
from back then - nostalgia !!!!

Thank you floyd for your most kind
words and encouraging comments.
I will probably try another surf
style (there are a few more among the
different surf styles) after my
return from Spain !:))

Cheers
Dani

Hello, Dani

Another great effort.
Very beautiful tune like “Surfer Girl”.
I enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best Regards.

Shigeki Adachi

Hi, Shigeki !:))


....and thank you so very much
for your most kind comments !
I know from your earlier
comments that you are a fan of
The Beach Boys´ type music and who
would´nt ?




Cheers
Dani

Hi Dani,

I'm so relieved. In my dream I remembered part of the lyrics "I'm a fool to weep" and so I found it:

Guenter

Hi, Guenter !:))

Just great !:))
I must admit I did not
recall ever hearing this
tune so this was a nice
coincidence !:))...and what
is best of all, my friend
Guenter does not need to
go crazy anymore !:)

Cheers
Dani


Cheers
Dani

Dani
Really captured the surf music feel. Very nice song and top performance.

Hi, Peter !:))

Thank you so much
for your most kind words
really much appreciated !:))


Cheers
Dani

Get well Dani. I'd love to sing that well with the flu, as others have already stated.

Hi, Dga !

Thanks for your most kind comment !:)
I guess that the reverb flattens out
most of the inconsistencies but there
are points where it is not pitch perfect
but I did not have the strength to resing
those parts !

Cheers
Dani

Dani,

Nice song! Harmony is very beautiful. The song took me to 1963, a long time ago, when Surfin' USA and Surfer Girl were released. They were the big hits even in Japan.

Hiroshi

Hi, Hiroshi !:))


Thank you for your most kind
words ! I fully agree with you,
the surf music is so beautiful
it will never die !:)) As Guenter
pointed out the beginning frases
are much alike with the Cliff Richard tune
I was not familiar with so I will resing
the openings later to avoid being labeled
as a copycat !:))

Cheers
Dani

Hello Dani, very real Beach Boys style.
Pleasant listening.

Sergio

Hi, Sergio !:))


I am very glad that you´ve
got the Beach Boys´ feel, that
was what I hoped that you would !
Thank you so much for your most
kind comments !:))

Cheers
Dani

Hi Dani,

just found out that you resang the parts that
caused me quite a headache. That was not necessary as it were only two lines. We know that you're no copycat. The coincidence was easily possible because it was just a musical scale up and down.
But your new version is even better.
I'm sorry if I caused you trouble.

Guenter

Hi, Guenter, ol´friend !


No, my friend, it was absolutely
necessary for me to do and I think
you did just the right thing when
telling me about the coincidential
likeness ! I had to do this for
my own sake as well as all others
and, Guenter, you know I had you
in mind when singing the harmony
parts as I know how much you love
sweet harmonies !:))

Take Care

Cheers
Dani
