Hi, friends !

This maybe one of my last
surf tunes depending on
how my voice will allow.
I could not have done this
without the Daniettes (i.e.
the Voice Aahs of BIAB and
naturally without the
splendid Box Band backing
up it all ! I only had my
celebration semi-acoustic
for solos so I chose to sing
the chorus part instead !

The style used is HAYSTAX.STY (Country Boogie)
and the instros within are:
Bass: 1845, Piano: 1854, Drums RD:s Southern Fast 12-8 Soul
Guitar 1: 953, Guitar 2: 956
and Daniettes being Vocal AAhs 3063

Recorded with mixcraft 8 pro - reverb and compressor used

SURFERS FATE (Music and Lyrics by Norman Wibe)


Weather´s just fine for surfin´along today
so will you pack your things once again, my dear
my little darlin´we´ll have to go
for we don´t know for how long it will show
but if we leave now, we´ll be back by five , I swear
surfin´away

Can you feel how excitement grows the closer we get
to the surf and the waves that is somethin´I´ll never forget

We´ve been doin´this thing so many times before
glidin´like magic over the ocean´s floor
love the moment to be towed out to sea
and to ride the waves don´t you see
an addiction, leavin´ you always wantin´more
and to adore !

Can you feel how excitement grows the closer we get
to the surf and the waves that is somethin´I´ll never forget
or a solo

Hurry, darlin´ vamonos now ! ´cause it´s gettin´late !
weather´s fine and the surf seems to me there to rise so great
let´s go fast, thats the right thing to do
I need you darlin´,we´ll have to be two
You know this is what we both could be callin´”surfer´s fate”
surfer´s fate
surfer´s fate


Cheers
Dani

Well done dani48! I really enjoyed the overall chord progression. Great work on the guitars and rhythm too. Reminds me a little bit of The Beach Boys. Thanks for sharing!

Fun song, Dani! You are the master at doing surf music here on the forum I think

Hi, Joe !:))

Thank you so much for
your most kind words !
The papaummmawmaw is Beach
Boys which was intended too.
Though I love their music
I am not even close to
sound like them - Brian
Wilson knew what he was doing
and I just wanted to have some
fun, which it has been producing
these small BB:ish tunes.
Unfortunately I think I have
to move to other genrés but
in that case I´m gonna miss
those sounds!:)))

Cheers
Dani

Dani,

Love this! A very cool summer song - you sound great as does the the track mix.

So well done...

Bob

Dani,

Some really nice melody changes.

One of your best...

Hi Dani,

You really captured the essence of surfing music with this one! Definite similarity to The Beach Boys and Jan & Dean. Great harmonies and lead vocal. Loved the key modulation. What a great listen! Best to you, my friend.

Alan

Dani

Nice lush vocals - and a pretty arrangement that really captures the surfing vibe.

Peter

Great work here, Dani You absolutely nailed the harmonies here, and that groove is infectious. It had my toe tapping the whole way through.

Good job and thanks for sharing!

Hi, Dave !

That was fun! It certainly caught the flavor of those classic surf songs, and put a smile on my face.

Such a fun song! It has the perfect surfer vibe to it, and I think that the vocals really suit this style of song! You should be very proud of this song.

Hi, Al & Di !

Excuse me this late
answer to your most
kind comments !

I feel humbled by
your kind words,
I really aimed at
the BB:s but, of course
they are in a class of their
own as well as having
gear to work with !

Thank you so much

Cheers
Dani

Hi Dani,

There's no-one on the forum who does the classic surf sound as effectively as you do. I love the bass vocals in the opening! You certainly have a wonderful range of notes that you can bring to a production.

As always, I enjoyed travelling along with your music. I'm always entertained when I listen to your work.

All the best,
Noel

You are still hanging 10 Dani!

Another great surf song. Flashback to the mid to late 60's when I was listening to Jan and Dean, The Beach Boys etc.

Excellent vocal and mix.

Hang in there! Your singing on this is terrific.

This is a wonderful arrangement. We like EVERYTHING about it!

Well, someone certainly knows how to nail that sound! That was great! I read the title and had an expectation to some extent. You surpassed that expectation. Really fun to listen to.
