Hi, friends !:)) I was working on one of my old tunes(from 1992)but I just could not get it right so I decided to start from scratch on a new Bossa instead ! As you can hear I´ve been dreamin´again: http://app.box.com/s/i31j86dsknndowk4mk5eMixed with mixcraft 6 Style: BOSANEW STY Instruments used: Bass: 33 Ac string bass Piano: 1 Ac Piano Drums: Realdrums RD Bossa Brushes Guitar: 25 Nyl string guit Soloist in the backing: 542 Guitar El rhytm Dreamin´EV 085 Soloist as solo: 67 Tenor Sax And here are the lyrics: DREAMIN´AGAIN (by Dani) Walkin´alone, down a street of this snowclad town, no one to meet as I push my way thru the drifted snow can´t feel the cold, though it´s warmer inside, I know I´m homeward bound, coming home to you, that is when I realize I´ve been dreamin ´this way again Talkin´ alone, me and myself taking your pic down from the shelf got the picture of you in my hand and my mind thinkin´ ´bout what we had and what was left behind I´m homeward bound, coming home to you, that is when I realize I´ve been dreamin ´this way again Solo Sleepin´alone, no one beside me ´cause you are gone, longing for thee makes me dream all over and over in vain but my mind just keeps puttin´it on sustain I´m homeward bound, coming home to you that is when I realize I´ve been dreamin ´this way again Walkin´alone, down a street of this snowclad town, no one to meet as I push my way thru the drifted snow can´t feel the cold, though it´s warmer inside, I know I´m homeward bound, coming home to you, that is when I realize I´ve been dreamin ´this way again © Dani Lindroos 2014

Dani,
Smooth. A good write. And a good mix. Terrific vocal! Cool chord changes. I like that... "This isn't working... I'll just write a new one!"

you have such a wonderful asynchronous melodic sense, this song especially, as it is jazz, has a Bert Bacharach vibe.
super write!
much enjoyed!

A really nice feel happening there. And I liked the vocal harmonies. Perfect tempo. Nice job. Sax intro and solo fitted in real well.

Love the smooth jazz and the harmonies are wonderful Dani. I must admit that "thee" in there kind of threw me otherwise I really liked the conversational lyrics too.
Always enjoy your beautiful arrangements and lovely voice.
