Hi, friends !

You all probably know that I
am and always have been a big
fan of Brian Wilson´s surf music
so I had to try and write one myself !
My only regret is that I lack professional
equipment doing this but .....oh, what the heck,
it was fun nonetheless !:

http://app.box.com/s/ldeset3hqry4bzif0sk3q9glcn7iln8x

http://soundcloud.com/dani-lindroos/lets-go-surfin-1



The style is: SURFSWP.STY and the instros are:
Bass: 1844
Piano: 1549
Drums: Surfpopswing
Guitar: 2427 el guit
String: 2452 String quartet
Strings: 51 synth strings 1

Recorded with mixcraft 7 and Stagg mic
to my laptop

Here are the lyrics:

Let´s Go Surfin´(music and lyrics by Norman Wibe)

Let´s go surfin´, let´s go surfin´
let´s go ridin´the waves
let´s go surfin´, no more turfin´around, babe
let´s go together so far away
where the big surf hits the bay
I´m gonna take you there my dear all the way, babe

Now, let´s go where the weather´s fine
and the beaches are so white
there I´m gonna make you mine
it´s allright, babe
we´re gonna surf right till the end of day
no matter darlin´, come what may
in the sun, that´s where we´re gonna stay, babe, babe

So, little darlin´, take my hand let´s go jumpin´on the sea
it´s gonna be so cool as it only can be, little darlin´, little darlin´

Now, let´s go where the weather´s fine
and where the beaches are so white
there I´m gonna make you mine
it´s allright, babe
we´re gonna surf right till the end of day
no matter darlin´, come what may
in the sun, that´s where we´re gonna stay, babe, babe

So, little darlin´, take my hand let´s go jumpin´on the sea
it´s gonna be so cool as it only can be, little darlin´, little darlin´, little darlin´
mine !

Cheers
Dani

WOW Dani! This is awesome! You're probably the one guy in the forum who could pull off the Beach Boys style harmonies! But even before the singing started I was impressed that your instrumentation sounded very Brian Wilson-esque!

You need to do more of this! You picked a very prolific song writer to mimic, so now your take-offs have to be equally prolific!

Hi Dani. I think you really captured the early Beach Boys feel here.
Great effort on the harmonies.
I think you actually pulled it off.
Great work.

Beach Boys reference is adequate! Really well done, Dani! Love it! smile Nice and laid back, just like sitting at the beach, having a cold drink and watching the surfers having fun!

Nice song!


Cheers,
Mike

Hello, Dani

What a cool chorus.
I also like the Beach Boys from my childhood.
Surfer Girl, I Get Around, She Knows Me Too Well, Don’t Worry Baby, California Girls, When I Grow up to Be a Man, etc.
And now your song Let’s Go Surfin’.
A Great Tribute to Brian Wilson.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best Regards.

Pretty Sensational Dani.

Yes, you captured that Surf Style, no doubt about that

Loved the falsetto harmonies, absolutely perfect!

Great effort for sure.

Hi Dani,

Wow! That was incredibly creative.

You captured the vocal harmony, chord progressions and groove of the classic Beach Boys sound. Is there a genre that you can't do? You really seem to be putting BIAB through its paces lately and creating some very diverse music. It's fantastic!

All the best,
Noel

Hi Dani,

an absolute hit! I had an idea what to hear when I read the title but you topped it. Mr. Harmony himself.
Very enjoyable listens.

Dani Wilson!

The lost Wilson Brother!

This is SO well done!

I have just finished reading "Catch a Wave: The Rise, Fall, and Redemption of the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson" after seeing the movie "Love & Mercy". As I read, I would listen to whatever song they were talking about at the time, so I have heard a LOT of Beach Boys music recently... This fit right in... You have captured it perfectly. Nice mix, too! Great harmonies.

Your best ever! Surf's UP!!!
