Hi, good ol´friends !
Back from ol´Spain again
with this little surf tune
in my luggage ! (chuckle):))

...and Pat, you did´nt need
to be envious, the weather
on the second week was worse
than we had back home in ol´
Scandinavia !:))

I apologize for not being able
for the moment to post this tune
on Soundcloud due to some problems
with SC recognizing me !!!

SO FAR AWAY (Music and words by Norman Wibe)

Ooooooh…….. surfin on, surfin on…..

Let´s go gettin´some tan
ride those waves in the sun
where the surf is always high
makin´it all so fun,
babe

Let´s go down by the bay
throw our troubles away
flyin´high above the blue sea
there we´re gonna stay,
far away

Up till ten, ( get yourself out of bed now) !
fetch your board, my darlin´
goin´ again, (goin again)
jump on board, my darlin´
let´s go again

Let´s go gettin´some tan
ride those waves in the sun
where the surf is always high
makin´it all so fun,

Up till ten, (get yourself out of bed now) !
fetch your board, my darlin´
goin´ again (goin´again)
jump on board, my darlin´
let´s go again

Let´s go down by the bay
throw our troubles away
flyin´high above the blue sea
there we´re gonna stay,
so far away

Cheers
Dani

Hi Dani,

Definitely a nice tune and style, but the mix sounds kind of muddy on my computer.
Did you upload a low bitrate MP3?

You've certainly nailed that old Beach Boys sound. Cleverly done.

This is really goood Dani. But I agree, something is off with the mix. I hope you revisit it. Sounds like a top arrangement and stellar harmonies. A remix would do wonders and let the harmonies and vocals shine. Good to see a post from you again.

Hi, Anne-Marie and Rob !:))

Thanks for your most kind words
much appreciated. I did try and
clean it up by taking away most
of the effects, hope it sounds better
this way ?

Cheers

Hey Dani! Welcome back from holiday! Sorry, seems like I cursed your vacation weather by saying I was envious! If it's any consolation I just got back from a trip too and the weather was MUCH colder there than it was here!

I always enjoy your songs done in a beach boys style... not many people could pull that off! I hope we continue to hear more in that style!

Hello, Dani

Another Beach Boys sound again.
As Peter said, you've certainly nailed that old Beach Boys sound.
Enjoyed my listen a lot this time too.

Best Regards.

Hi, Charlie !:))

I know the mix sounds
too muddy but I tried
to take away most effects
and if you can use more
treble it might be that
the words come out a little
clearer ?

As you know I am so grateful for
your most kind words !:))

Cheers
Dani

To me I expected a certain type of sound from this. Now there are different ways it could sound within the type of sound, but you met that sound. To me, that's saying a lot. I like the multi vocal line play you have going on. Well done! It's really cool to hear something like this!

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."
