Hi, friends !:))

Happened to stumble upon
this style i.e._SOFTAMP.STY
and somehow it felt suitable
for a little surf tune so I had to
try ! The story is about the old surfer
recalling those wonderful days spent
out on the deep blue !

The links are here:

....and the lyrics are here:


TAKE ME DOWN TO THE BEACH (Music and Words by Norman Wibe)

Take me, take me, down to the beach
leave me there with my memories
all those great rides now out of reach
come to me as I look at the rising seas

The rolling surf, the giant waves
oh how fun it was to ride and to race

Thank you nice guys who brought me here
here alone down by the ocean´s side
feelin´nostalgic to sit here and share
all my stories at the tide

Flyin´ over the deep blue sea
that´s a feelin´divine for you and for me
for you and for me

Oh how I´d love to surf again
How I´d love to do a pipeline
If I could muster my strength and gain
control again that would be fine

Sittin´here in thoughts of better days
enjoying all the sun and it´s warmest rays
in the haze, in the haze
In the haze

Well done.
The music fits with the giant waves.

Is the song about yourself? Did you surf a lot when you were younger?

Thanks for sharing,
Will

A surf song? From you?

Shocking! wink

The vocals were a bit soft, but enjoyable.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi Dani,

I had the same thought as David. Surfing, you? In Finland? Or Spain?
Beside that, it's a nice melancholic song with nice lyrics too.

But there is a but...
I think the leadvocals are a bit too soft compared with the background vocals.
Also it's difficult to understand what you sang (not the lyrics, but the vocals themselves).
Maybe you can brighten them up?

Have a nice day,
Hans

Hi, Will !

Thank you so much for your most
kind comments very much
appreciated ! Will, my friend, I
have never ever even been close
to a real life surfing board
but naturally I´ve seen it on TV
but my interest in surf music
stems from Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys
and my interest in singing in voices stems from
Johnny Mann Singers !

Cheers
Dani

Surf Dani is back and whether he has surfed or not it's good to have another BB style song.

Well done Dani and every time we hear one of your tunes we are ready to go listen
to Brian and the boys some more.

Enjoyed it!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
