Hi, friends ! Just had to drop in to inform you that I´m beginning to get in shape - my hip that is. I have moved to Kirkkonummi to a most lovely house with a very nice garden - t´was really good to get out of the hot city indeed ! I have recovered from my injuries but i have not yet been able to put in too much steam with composing due to all the fuzz with illness and moves etc. etc. not to mention that I am on my way to Spain for the fifth time in almost two years and so let´s keep our fingers crossed that the trip can materialize this time ! Meanwhile, friends ! I did stumble upon this tune I wrote quite a time ago and can´t find lyrics or instrumentation to ! It is anachronistically written for the oncoming winter so I guess I´m in fact way out in advance (quite a bit, really)! We are going to Spain at the beginning of September and we´ll come back in November if Higher Powers will admit ! I do apologize for not being able to present those particulars you are used to get in the introduction but I hope nonetheless that this tune will bring a smile upon your faces ! Take Care all of you ! http://app.box.com/s/wx7llsw0kbv2qghg2z99y3ghcp6tlzd4http://soundcloud.com/user-337827005/this-is-wintertimeCheers Dani PS 2 I managed to extract my words out of the song and they go like this: THIS IS WINTERTIME (Music & Lyrics by Norman Wibe) Skies turnin´grey that´s a certain sign there´s goin´to be snow that´ll be so fine we have waited for so long thru all autumn long and it´s gettin´truly cold now we need to be bold it is Wintertime ! What are you gonna do know ? Gotta get outside take the skis for a ride on the white snowy ice gonna be so nice gonna take us a ride on the sea the frozen ocean you´ll see is there for you and for me ! Snow fallin´round drifts on the ground all nature is white you can´t hear a sound and the freezin´wind is gone as we´re movin´on the feelin´s just so great no matter she´s late our Wintertime What are you gonna do know ? Gotta get outside take the skis for a ride on the white snowy ice gonna be so nice gonna take us a ride on the sea the frozen ocean you´ll see is there for you and for me ! You will have to dress right not to get a frostbite skiing in the moonlight will make you feel allright tonight what a treat of the night ! We´ll ski away out around those isles everything´s white there for miles and miles I think we´ll get a flair for crispy air and when returnin´back we´re in for a snack this is Wintertime ! What are you gonna do know ? Gotta get outside take the skis for a ride on the white snowy ice gonna be so nice gonna take us a ride on the sea the frozen ocean you´ll see is there for you and for me ! For you and for me !

Dani,
Good to see you back! Don't apologize, glad to see you getting better and doing creative things!
Very nice tune, a lot of harmony is going on. Honestly one of the best songs I have heard by you. Not trying to be nice. It is sophisticated and cool. Thank you for sharing.
P.S. probably ridiculous for Finland to get such high temperatures.
Misha.

Hi, Misha !
Thank you so much for your most
kind comments truly much appreciated !
Thank you also for your kind words referring
to my well being !
You are completely right !
Can´t remember when or if
we have had anything even close
to this heatwave !
Huh....!
In any case moving out to the country
made it a little easier to bear !
Hope you have managed to cool
yourself somehow also !
Cheers
Dani

Anachronistically a song about Wintertime
in the heat of the summer
Interestingly, I heard that Mel Torme and Bob Wells wrote The Christmas Song on a hot day in Summer (Boy, you must be confident that a song is great when you name it that........And it is!).
Nice tune Danny.....classic Dani style!! Hope your trip works out this time! Always love to hear your stuff!! Take care. Greg

This tune glides along like a sleigh ride. It's nice to have a winter song during the heat of the summer.
Good one, Dani!

Hi Dani,
Nice to see you back with a new one! I’ve always been a fan of your vocal style.
Spain! We had a dream vacation planned there for last year. Got cancelled due to covid.
Enjoy!
