Hi, Friends !

I have not been too much on the forum lately
due to the fact that I´ve committed myself
to a little too many different activities,
but I did manage to put this little country
tune together today.

The style is: E12 STSM.STY Country Pop

and the instros are:

Bass: 684 El bass Pop Half Notes Sync Ev 120
Guitar 1: 408 Guitar,Resonator, Background Allis Ev 120
Guitar 2: 405 Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 120
Guitar 3: 1033 Guitar 12 String El, Strumming Ev 120
Guitar 4: 1880 Resonator, soloist, Country Train Rob Ev 16 130
Drums: Realdrums Nashville even 8/1 side stick ride

Mixcraft Pro 7 used as DAW and Stagg Mic, recorded on my
lenovo laptop.

http://soundcloud.com/user-337827005/thats-reality

....here are the lyrics:

That´s reality (music & words by Norman Wibe)

I don´t know why it took so long, for me to realize
that you´re the one for me
just a look into your eyes, should have told me long ago
that you love me darlin´, that´s reality

Please, forgive me darlin´if I waited for a while
but you know I wasn´t me
I was livin´in a world of dreams, that is why I couldn´t see
that you love me darlin´, and that´s reality

Darlin´, don´t go away
can´t you, please, stay
give me some hope
you´ll be comin´back my way

I was a fool not to see where I was headin´to
I was blinded by my grief
I couldn´t see before me nor by night nor by day
that you love me darlin´, and that´s reality

Solo

Please, forgive me darlin´if I waited for a while
but you know I wasn´t me
I was livin´in a world of dreams, that is why I couldn´t see
that I love you darlin´, and that´s reality

Cheers
Dani

Hi Dani,

Don’t let too many ‘other activities divert you away from creating heartfelt songs like this for too long.
Sung with sincerity the ‘story came across well. I enjoyed it

Thank you friend for your
welcoming words !:))

Everything worked out fine
what I was describing was indeed
a time already passed by when Li
and I were just meeting each other
in the beginning of our partnership
and I was a bit unsure about where
I was heading ! Nowadays all that
is behind us and everything is just
great !:))

Thank you for your concerning words !

Cheers
Dani

Really interesting song - as noted unusual chord structure but very pleasant sounding.
Nice feel.

Hi Dani,

It's always good to see your name appear in the forum. Every time, without exception, when I see a song posted by you, I smile.

Like floyd, you've written an incredible collection of song over the years. The trademark of all of them is how your lyrics ring with sincerity and honesty. Just like this one! I thoroughly enjoyed my listen.

May good things come your way!
Noel
