Hi, friends !

One evening recently I sat
and browsed thru the numerous
bb styles and suddenly I happened to run
into this old " Raindrops Are
Falling On My Head" Bacharach- style
and got carried away !

I was also alone that night as
Li was away so.........

http://soundcloud.com/dani-lindroos/im-so-alone

The Style is RAIN_DRP.STY and the instruments
are:

Bass: 39 Ac String Bass
Piano: ! Ac Piano
Drums: Pop Bouncy 5 Hihat, sidestick
Guitar: 25 Nylon String Guitar
Strings: 49 Strings
WarmPad: 1543 SynthPad Pop believe Ev 16

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

The Lyrics are:

I´M SO ALONE (WHEN YOU ARE AWAY AND GONE)
(Music and words by Norman Wibe)

I´m so alone
while you´re away and gone
I want you, to be so close, close to me
closer than A to B,
closer still!

Need all your care
and your sweet love to share
with me, for now, and for all the time, eternally
you know that I´m yours at your will,
always at your will!

Solo

May the night pass by
and may the time just fly
so I´ll, get, to see you again, by my side
as my lovin´bride
down the aisle we´ll stride
together, yes we will
all our dreams fulfill !
all our dreams fulfill!

Take Care

Cheers
Norman

Dani,
Very nice song. I like the style. I've said it before, but you use the most unusual and unexpected chord changes. It's very refreshing. I love love the way you do your vocals. Nice technique.

Norman!

Very cool song. Terrific pop feel. Nice chord changes.

Has a Carpenters/Bacharach feel to it, for sure...

(So... when will you stride down that aisle?)

Well done.

That about sums it up. Dani, don't forget to give yourself a credit for the lead guitar. Thanks for the PM. I think it is very cool that you are putting in the time to learn lead. Sounds really good! Tom

you are being just too nice
with this old goat, but, as you
surely know, he feels very
honored by your most kind
comment ! I have to add that
it will happen sooner or later
but we are in no immediate hurry,
I will let you know when it
takes place !

One of you best Dani. You are quite the crooner for real and oh those harmonies... oh the harmonies.

The barbershop quartet days were very good for you.

I always like your songs and productions. Now, I also get to enjoy Norman Wibe, your new lead guitar personna.

Great stuff, as always.

PS: That was pretty good lead guitar.
