Hi, friends !

I do apologize for not having
been able to follow up on the site
too often ! My other commitments
have just overwhelmed me.

I did also experience something
I haven´t done before i.e. I just
lost myself and my voice ! I wrote
some 5 pieces and could not finalize
not one of them as I probably wrote
them too complicated or I just could
not produce the voices needed for them.

So, I thought I had to make it somewhat easier
and so I wrote this one but even this one had
to be adjusted at least three times (downward)
Maybe this has to do with age ?

In any case, here is FINAL RIDE
based on the style: CTRYPOP.STY
Instros: Bass: 1208, Guitar 1: 405, Drumes = Realdrums = Nashville
Even 8/5 Hihat, ride, Pedal Steel: 603, Guitar2: 629
Synthpad: 1840

FINAL RIDE (MUSIC & LYRICS BY NORMAN WIBE)

Hi, guys, weather´s so nice, and the surf´s on the rise
grab your boards, run to the oceanside
for a final ride
just can´t hide, the tears in my eyes

It´s been so great, you know that everything nice, has to come to an end
yes we´ll have to leave, that´ll be our impending fate
so don´t, be late
don´t be late for the final ”bend”

Let´s go surfin´, a final time, surf right soon, mornin´till noon
it´s been a great great boon, yeah it´s been a great great boon
Oh what fun we´ve had to ride those waves in the sun,
in that hot ,shinin´sun, gettin all that copper bronze tan
copper bronze tan

You know we´ve been right here, yes we´ve been right here, all summer long
and now we´re finally gettin´, rid of the foam
home, sweet home
time to leave this bay, singin´ along

Let´s go surfin´, a final time , surf right soon, mornin´till noon it´s been a great great boon, yeah it´s been a great great boon
Oh what fun we´ve had to ride those waves in the sun,
in that hot shinin´sun, gettin all that copper bronze tan
copper bronze tan

Sorry to say, but season´s finally over, for the rest of the year
it leaves us dreamin´, dreamin´ for another return
turn, til´next turn
we´ll have to live, with all those sweet, mem´ries to share
we´ll have to live, with all those sweet, mem´ries to share

Cheers
Dani

Dani,

Nice song - I enjoyed the end of summer lyrics.
Your voice sounds fine and those trademark harmonies are smooth. Your vocal range is much greater than most of us,so you have a ways to go before you meet us in the middle!

Hey Dani,

It's great to see you back posting again. The surfin', summer fun lyrics definitely get the thumbs up from me.

I agree with Robert. There's nothing wrong with your voice. As far as I could tell, your vocal cords sounded just as good as they always do.

I enjoyed my listen!

All the best,
Noel

Another great delivery Dani.

You've captured the Surfin' style once again, and it was interesting to hear the pedal steel sitting nicely throughout the mix.

Nothing wrong with the vocal delivery either!

Thanks for another Dani classic.

Nice one Dani!! Fresh off your crooning Mel Torme to your Brian Wilson beach boy harmony sound. This is great. Love the melancholy of the "final ride". Great feel, and great vocals!! Take care. Greg

This is a really nice song and performance Dani. I enjoyed it from start to finish.

Hi, Floyd !


...and very many thanks for
your most kind words !
I discovered that I was
writing too complicated tunes
and had problems singing
them so I had to start from
scratch and write something
easier to sing (as I thought
before ! started to sing the
background) !!1

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Rob !:))


I feel honoured for your
most kind words. You know that
there are most probably many
guys and guyesses that could do
these surf tunes much better than me
I just happened to among the first
to test it

Rob, thank you for your kind comments !

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Greg !:))


I´m so glad you liked
the tune ! It was the
third version as all the
other versions crashed !

I was dubious if I ever
would manage to do those
backing vocals but I did
(on the edge) !

Muchisimas gracias por
tus palabras amables !

Salud !
Dani

Nice, Dani! I always loved the Beach Boys harmonies. Your voice sounds good to me, and as always, good rich harmonies.

Noel said it very well. Welcome back. Fun lyrics. And your voice sounds fine!! Very cool harmonies.

I used to listen to a lot of surfing music back in the day and I don't know if I've ever heard one about the season. And there's some mystery there...is it the end of the surfing season or the end of their season? Or both? smile


We enjoyed it....keep them coming.

Hi, Steve !:))

Glad you are one of
those who likes the BB´s !
I do not come close to
them but it is nice to
try and sing tunes with
the surf theme as I´ve
always loved both their
music and performances !

Thank you so much for
your most kind words !

Cheers
Dani
Posted By: dani48 Re: Final Ride - 10/07/16 08:45 PM
Hi, Bud & Janice !


I know that Bud had a
surfing board way back
then, he told me so and
so he actually has been
or still is an active
surfer ! Wow !!!

The mystery here in
the lyrics are not really
a mystery as it goes both ways,
my intention was to refer
to the end of the season for the
actual surfers tha have to
go back home !

Thank you both so much for
your most kind words, much
appreciated !

Cheers
Dani
