Hi, Friends !:))

I thought you might want
a little harmony to start
off the new year !:))

http://soundcloud.com/dani-lindroos/sad-girl

http://app.box.com/s/dh59rhmdv46cev9d33dk58ei10z6k0bv

This tune is about a melancholic girl
who goes around trying to find
a true companion to love !
Sadly enough this is based on a true story !

the style is UKPOP66.STY
and the instruments are:

Bass: 36 fretless Elbass
Piano: 2 Bright piano
Drums: Realdrums = Country Shuffle
Guitar: 30 Overdrive guitar
Organ: 19 Rock Organ
Guitar: 28 Clean el guitar

Recorded and mixed with mixcraft 6
Zoom H4n used as mic. Solo by me and fills by biab

Lyrics:

MELANCHOLY GIRL (lyrics and music by Dani)

Why is everything so grey?
Why am I so sad and blue?
Is there noone in this world for me?
Is this really where I´m supposed to be?

I´ve been down and out, they say
When you´re sad you´rnt really you
gotta raise me up and start to live
gotta take and most of all to give

Bound to walk my path and pray
that I´ll find a love so true
all my life I´ve been waiting on my part
for the one to come, to give my heart

I have so much love inside, you see
waiting for someone to give it to
and I´m still both young and oh so free
waiting for that love me do

(solo)

all my life I´ve been waiting on my part
for the one to come, to give my heart

I have so much love inside, you see
waiting for someone to give it to
and I´m still both young and oh so free
waiting for that love me do
waiting for that love me do

Yep, good harmony is a fine way to
start the new year for sure and this
tune has plenty of it to show off.

You have a wonderful signature style
and we always look forward to
hearing your latest...and this one
certainly did not disappoint. The write,
the vocals and the arrangement really
showcase your unique talents.

We enjoyed the spin!

Hi Dani.

Having read the lyrics before playing the track, I wasn't expecting something which swung as much as this did!

Great backing and excellent vocals + harmonies.

A sad song, but with a happy feel.

ROG.

HI Dani ...

You have your own, very recognizable style ... and we love it! The music tracks reminded us a little bit of the Partridge Family. You have a soft and pleasant vice ... so easy to listen to. The harmony was terrific! Nice solo, too! We loved it ... thank you ... in harmony from both of us ...

Dani, It's great hearing those harmonies. Reminds me Brian Wilson. Super chord progression and and arrangement. Well mixed. I don't remember you playing on anything before. So you've got a few tricks up your sleeve. Way to go! Tom

Really cool music and harmonies!! The way the music wanders, never resolving but always keeping the listener going, reminds me of Todd Rundgren. This is very sweet Dani! Enjoyed it much!! Glad to see you around! Take care. Greg

You know Tom !

I am an old rhytm guitarrist
and it is only lately that I have taken
up lead guitar playing which is not
my strongest side.......learning all the time, though !

I started playing lead when one of my
old band members ( The Bananas)
wanted me to join his band ! We have
just started and we try to play a lot
of old Shads´and Ventures´hits from
way back ! I´ll send you a demo attached
to a PM ! Now, my good Tom, I must thank you
for your most kind words really much appreciated !

Cheers
Dani

Hi Dani,

It's great to see another song from you!

This is superb. The melody and the accompaniment are fantastic. I love the way this upbeat backing gives a sense of hope to the lyrics. Great harmony, too. I have to hand it to you, there's no other Finnish crooner like you smile

Best wishes for a great 2016,
Noel
