Hi, friends !:))

This is a song from the 1992 record
named "The Song Of You" ! I wrote this
tune for one of my singing friends as
he was living through that situation
that the lyrics are describing ! Eventually,
they got together again and got married
and live on happily still !!!!

Recorded and mixed with Mixcraft 6
Zoom H4n used as mic.

Sorry guys, I forgot these:

...and the lyrics:

The Song Of You (words and music by Dani) © Dani Lindroos 1992

I knew that I was right, babe
if you leave I´ll fall
and now my life is like a shadow
fadin, fadin´
my love for you kept me goin´on
and made me strong
now I´ve to cry ´cause I´m all alone
makin´it all on my own
all I have left is the song of you
that I recall when you´re gone, yes
it´s the song of you
that I recall when you´re gone

Why did you have to go babe
was it all that wrong
why did you have to lose your lovin´feelin´feelin´
my love for you kept me goin´on
and made me strong
now I´ve to cry ´cause I´m all alone
makin´it all on my own
all I have left is the song of you
that I recall when you´re gone, yes
it´s the song of you
that I recall when you´re gone

Someone like you is hard to find
I beg you please to change your mind

I knew that I was right, babe
if you leave I´ll fall
and now my life is like a shadow
fadin, fadin´
my love for you kept me goin´on
and made me strong
now I´ve to cry ´cause I´m all alone
makin´it all on my own
all I have left is the song of you
that I recall when you´re gone, yes
it´s the song of you
that I recall when you´re gone

Dani, you could sing the PG Music BIAB users manual and make it sound like a heartfelt love song.

Good job, I enjoyed this a lot.

Hi Dani,

Wow! 22 years ago you were also writing love songs. That's a lot of practice!!! No wonder your work is always a pleasure to listen to.

All the best,
Noel

Very pretty!! I could imagine the Stylistics singing this. Really beautiful ballad-cool lyrics and some really interesting musical changes. Great stuff, as usual!! Take care. Greg

"and now my life is like a shadow
fadin, fadin´"

Great line! Greg said it so well above for the whole song. And like Noel said 23 years is quite a run for writing songs like this....I now understand why you are so dang good at it. Nice production in all aspects and the intimate vocal works so well.

Hi Dani,

+1 to what's said above.

I like the arrangement of the original. Especially the strings and harmonies. But you made some changes to the chords which I prefer in the newer version.
Again an enjoyable listen.

Hello, Noel !:))


You are just too kind
with this grey haired
ol´fella !:))

I do thank you so much for
your most kind words !:))
Yes, I did write some love
songs way back then and
you have probably already heard
"My Wife" from 1992 in the original version,
but I started to write love
songs in earnest when I
became a pensioner and was able
to devote more time to my hobbies !

Cheers

Hi, Alyn !:))


You are also way too kind with
me, but I do appreciate your
more than kind words truly much !:))
I must admit that I do not feel
like a love song expert but taking
my recent history in view it has been
difficult for me to write anything
else than love songs ! Firstly it
was to my dear wife and then to
my old girlfriend, wonderful women
both !

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Guenter !:))

No wonder you liked the
arrangement of the original
better as it was produced
with real musicians playing
real strings ! I think the
strings are a point that could
be enhanced in later versions !:))

Thank you Guenter so much for
your most kind words !:))

"it's the song of you that I recall when you're gone" - what a pretty line - especially for us songwriters.

Good mix. Can't think of a nicer way to mellow out than with a smooth Dani love song.

Hi Dani, I finally got some free time to listen to some songs and this was the first that I heard. You have set an extremely high standard for the rest to match!

That backing track is fantastic and your chord structure is top shelf. But your vocal and lyrics took it over the top!

Great job on this one.

You do a great job of getting the mix/styles and vocals to make the song take wing (.i.e. "to become joyful ")Well done again.
