Hi, friends !:))

This is a song from the 1992 record
named "The Song Of You" ! I wrote this

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,

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
Dani

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 !:))

Cheers

"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.

I see that Josie pick up on that, too...

Terrific line!

Something a little Barry-White like to this one...
