Hi, all my friends ! I am afraid I am falling in love again ! My girlfriend from the past (it was over 50 years since we broke up and I have not seen her ever since) was visiting me on thursday and I had made a very good dinner for her and for my quartet friends. Me and my quartet sang quite a few songs during the evening and when we were left alone we continued to talk about everything we had missed during those 50 years. It was a superb evening that I will remember for the rest of my life and it is with great sadness I have to bide her farewell today as she is going back to Norway where she works and lives and where her husband and family are ! The evening was magic as we thrived so well in the company of each other. I am going to miss her very much, but hopefully she´ll show up again maybe next year ? I had to write her this tune " You Came To Me" with words straight from my heart ! You can surely feel my double pain having lost my dear wife and not being allowed to show my love for my dear old girlfriend also ! At the same time I must confess I have been blessed to have had such wonderful women in my life ! I have felt and still feel privileged ! The link: http://app.box.com/s/jqi9qw5fxadnwoda0wgtRecorded with Mixcraft 6 on my laptop Vocal recorded thru zoom H4n Style: CTRWZPS Slow Country Waltz w Pedal (85RS) Instruments: Bass: 1121 Piano: 1126 Drums: RD Nash Classic Guitar: 824 Strumming Strings: 822 Fingerpicking Soloist: 26 AC Guitar Lyrics: YOU CAME TO ME (by Dani) You came to me, my dear old friend, I fell again I fell for you, I always do, I fought in vain and it´s true it´s true that I kept lovin´you all of these years I just loved you too To you my friend, I sing this song If only I, could go beside you, all along down your way hoping you´ll be there to stay and never to go away Darling when, you came to me you opened my eyes, again to see just how wonderful,the world can be when you do, allow, yourself to be free You lit the flame, I thought had died, so deep inside and so my friend, my love for you, I cannot hide anymore day by day, I love you more a feeling I can´t ignore it´s just like before © Dani Lindroos 2014 This song is dedicated to my good old girlfriend Babben!

Excellent job Dani. Vocals were eloquent and I loved how you held the vocal on the word 'true' around the .28 second mark.

Really beautiful!! I love what comes through musically and lyrically-innocence, purity, and enthusiasm of young love. Really love the music too. Burt Bacharach would be envious! This may be my favorite of yours so far. Take care. Greg

Sweet song Dani, straight from the heart. Like the way you held true too. Nice sounding mix.
Now the backstory, I don't know whether to feel happy for you or sad.....I guess it's a mixed bag.

Hi, Josie !:))
Thank you so much for your most
kind comments ! Yes, it is exactly
as you say, it is a bit bittersweet,
as I did not in any case want to
mix up here present marriage !
It seemed to us both, though, that
there are still very deep feelings
between us !:))
Cheers
Dani

She lit my flame and it is
burning now, that is for sure,
and none of us can foresee what
will come out of this other than
a deeper friendship than either
of us expected !:))I do thank you

Dear Jo !:))
I feel humbled by your most
kind and warm words !
You are so right, during this
evening we both traveled back
50 years in time, we became
young again, we sat till three
and held each others hands
and we found ourselves so
incredibly comfortable in each
others company that it was exactly as
if it was yesterday we had parted !!
Cheers
Dani

Hi, Scott !
I feel very humbled by
your more than kind words !
I am very glad you liked it
I wrote the lyrics in a certain
state of nostalgic mind I was
and am in love and that may be
the reason for the lyrics to
follow the mood of the song !
Thank you for your most kind comments !
Cheers
Dani
