Hi, friends !:))


I threw a small challenge to you my
good friends regarding harmonizing on
this tune I just wrote !:)) So far I
got Lawrence Olivier to do a second
harmony voice on the chorus parts !:))
I do thank you Lawrence for your
excellent input on a part that in
fact was not so easy as one might think !:))

YOU ARE GETTING MY HEART TO SING (by Dani) © Dani Lindroos 2015

My friends wanna see me glad
they´re wishing me well
they don´t wanna see me sad
´cause they wanna feel good when I tell
I tell them I´m in love again

You know that it´s so, darling
you know that it´s true
you´re gettin’my heart to sing
and my chords to ring
by all the sweet things you do, yes you do

There´s love in the air again
every time when we meet
It makes me feel good just when
I hold you my darlin´so sweet
and I tell you I´m in love again

You know that it´s so, darling
you know that it´s true
you´re gettin´my heart to sing
and my chords to ring
by all the small things you do, yes you do

You know that it´s so, darling
you know that it´s true
you´re gettin´my heart to sing
and my chords to ring
by all the small things you do, yes you do
Darling !

Cheers
Dani

Hi Dani,

your present situation does you good.
I like that 6/8 groove. Nice chords.
Wonder if you find some collab. I would also like you doing your harmonies yourself.
Good luck.

Hi, Guenter !:))

Thank you for your most
kind words !

I think you are right !:))
There has been some interest
regarding harmonizing and it
will be very exciting to see
(or more rightly to hear)
what can come out of it ?

I thought of giving the
harmonizing part to all
my friends to check how
they sound together with me ?

There is no demands no pune
intended and if it does not work
I can always come back to the
harmonizing ?

Cheers
Dani

Dani,

Sweet song. You sound terrific on this.

(like Guenter, I want to hear your 5th Dimension harmonies on this...)

I'm sure wherever you land on this it will be wonderful...

You have created a delightful wall of sound, and I want to thank you for letting me play a role in it!

It was in fact trickier than it appeared upon first listen. The transitions you wrote blend the superb key changes together seamlessly!

Thank you again!

Always love hearing your stuff Dani!! Your tunes have an innocence and enthusiasm in them that has mostly been lost in the present day. You always bring me back to the time when I fell in love with music. Really enjoyable track, and great addition to have Gruverider. You really get around the forum and each mixture adds something fun!! Take care. Greg

Definitely want to see you happy Dani!
Something quite haunting about the song.
Maybe the chords.
Great job on the vocal and the harmonies.
Sounds difficult.
Cheers.

Hi Dani,

I don't think that there is anyone more romantic than you on the forum! Without any doubt, you are the songwriting specialist in this field. Yet another enjoyable listen.

Good harmonies, Lawrence!

All the best,
Noel

Hi Greg !:))


We do not really know how
best to thank you for your
kind and sincere words !
Hope that the tune speaks
for itself ? Now, you know
Greg, most of us belong to
an era long gone by and f.i.
I am still stuck musically
in that era (chuckle):))
Back to yesterday ?:))

Thank you Greg !

Hello Dani,
Flowers in your belly? A good song, and a smart idea to get Laurence in. The backings make it so much richer.
Think this will make my compilation CD for the holidays ☺

Dear Noel !!:))

We are so thankful for
your most kind words. Noel,
dear ol´friend I am a romantic

got stuck on a certain gear ?? (chuckle) !!

Dani, Your chord progressions always require me to sit up and pay attention. This time you did that with the time signature. Great work Lawrence! Smooth all around. I enjoyed it. Tom
