Hi, friends !
Got carried away dreaming about
times gone by ending up in this
little Bossa Nova tune. Dean Clark fixed the
guitar solos on this one I sang the vocals
and the background is entirely a BIAB Bossa Nova
production. We hope you like it !:))

DREAMS SOON WILL TAKE ME AWAY (Music & Words by Dani)

There´s
no one around
I´m here just ´lone on my own
dreamin´ of you
sound, I miss that sweet sound
of your laughter, ´cause I´m alone
so lonesome and blue

Dreams soon will take me away
back in time
to that wonderful and sweetest day
I met you, never seen you so sweet, before
adoring you, more and more

Solo….

Here´s
cold on the ground
the freezing winds have all blown
and piled up snowdrifts just grew
I found, that to my love I´m bound
that magic day to me shown
I want to live anew

Dreams soon will take me away
back in time
to that wonderful and sweetest day
I met you, never seen you so sweet before
adoring you, more and more

Solo…..

Nice tune. Reminds me of the crooners....

Comments on the mix: Sounds like there is way too much "room sound" in this mix. And too much reverb.

Try to get closer to the mic when recording... use a pop filter and get close. that will help to eliminate the room's ambient sound. Don't try to use reverb to cover up things.... lots of people do this when they are starting and really, just learn how to make things sound good with less reverb.... you'll be happier with the results. The verb dates this way back in time.

Hi Dani,

I've been working longer hours so haven't had much time to listen - comment lately.

Your overall "style" sound reminds me of early Sergio Mendez - that is a compliment. <grin>

Enjoyed it.

Dani,

Like has been said, this is a nice relaxing tune. Herb has some good advice. The guitar solo also seems just a tad too far back in the mix.

Enjoyable song.

Hi Dani,

Very relaxed, very enjoyable smile I agree with Sundance. There is definitely a Sergio Mendex feel about this.

As Herb and Steve have already mentioned, it would be good if the guitar solo could come a little further forward in the mix. Other than that, I always like hearing you sing. You have a wonderfully relaxing voice.

All the best,
Noel

Hi, Steve !

Thank you for your kind comments !
Herb is definitely right and I would have
remixed earlier but my computer crashed
and at the same time the voice tracks
for this tune disappeared so i have
to sing it again as i will do at a
suitable time !:))

Hi, Noel !


You are very kind !
And I always do appreciate your kind comments very much !
As I pointed out to Steve earlier, I would have
remixed a long time ago had it not been for my
computer crashing and the vocals gone at the same time !
I will resing this tune and repost it
as soon as I can do it !

Hi Dani
I enjoyed it. As mentioned a real "Dani" song. Just love that falsetto harmony.

Hi, Jo !

Thank you so much for your kind words !:))
I do like singing tenor (i.e.barbershop
tenor in falsetto) even if I am a bass,
the falsetto comes easier to me nowadays.

I'm in agreement with the comments about moving the guitar out front a bit. Beyond that it's a very mellow "crooner" with fine harmony. Hey, I'm plenty old enough to remember the good crooners. The dictionary says crooning is to "sing pop songs in a soft and sentimental manner" and I think that well defines your craft. VERY enjoyable -- particularly near the end of a long day....which is where I am now!

Hi, Janice & Bud !:))


You are just too kind, but I agree
with you that I am a crooner, yes !:))
I´ve not always been one, but the loss
of my dear wife has mellowed me down
significantly. I feel honoured to
be called a crooner !:))!!

Cheers

Dani,

That is such a relaxing tune and then comes the 1st guitar solo to make one sit up and then back to eyes closed, relaxed. wonderful solo to end it all!

you two, Dani and Deani, work well together.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
