Sorry folks, been so much on the road - all kind of things interfering with songwriting but, I managed to write this little surf tune ( and boy, was it anything but easy ). http://soundcloud.com/user-337827005/under-the-surfer-moon-1http://app.box.com/s/mqfk5qyin4vbrdt415u171whz9seazatI used the following Style: TEKW10+.STY and that style included the following instros: Synbass: 40 Synbass 2 Elec Piano: 6 elec Piano 2 Drums: Realdrums =Technowildout AB - kick, kick Less Guitar 1: GM2 28/1 Elguit Detuned Clean Sweep Pad: 96 Pad Sweep Guitar 2: 28 Clean El Guit. Recorded with Mixcraft 7 PRO to my laptop with Stagg mic. the Lyrics are as follows: Under The Surfer Moon (Music and words by Norman Wibe) Let´s fly away my darlin´ fly from the coldest roon let´s fly away right soon stay there for all of June under the surfer moon we´ll be kissin´each other deeply in love Let´s go and feel the ocean ride on the wildest waves surfin´from dawn till noon earnin´the greatest voon under the surfer moon we´ll be huggin´each other tight in love Let´s find out what it really means to be out on the deep blue sea surfin´in love, together you and me Let´s fly away my darlin´ fly from the coldest roon let´s fly away right soon stay there for all of June under the surfer moon we´ll be kissin´each other deeply in love Let´s find out what it really means to be out on the deep blue sea surfin´in love, together you and me Will you not join me darlin´ let´s hurry far away we gotta get there fast summertime there won´t last then we´ll be under the moon I´ll be holding you oh so tight in love in love ! Cheers Dani

Hi Dani,
You seem to be making a quite home in the surfin' 60s genre these days! Loved the key change. It made me sit up and pay attention because I wasn't expecting it. That was a nice arranging touch indeed.
It's always a pleasure to listen to you sing and hear what you've put together.
All the best to you and Li,
Noel

Hi Dani,
For me your best so far.. I cant believe that standard of harmonies you achieved, excellent.
Having surfed most of my life, it really hit a sweet spot.

You nailed that one, Dani!
The harmonies are perfect!
A very solid BB write - lyric and melody.
Killer melody!
Excellent.

Oh yeah! Another fine one Dani. Somewhere I have a picture of me with my board on top of a VW! Your surf tunes bring back many memories...and you do them so well!
Thanks for the fun.

Hi, Scott !!!:))
I´m truly glad you
liked the vocal harmonies
as they were not easy to do
not in the key I had chosen !
I could have altered the key
but then again I had already
sung the lead parts so.....
Thank you so much for your
very kind words !
Cheers
Dani

What a lovely song, very enjoyable! I always like creamy harmonies so this was a real listening pleasure, especially with the modulations going on in there.

Very, very sweet!! One of your best melodies ever-the Beach Boys would have had a top 10 with this. I see you've left the Loch and gone back to the ocean. Really beautiful Dani!! Take care. Greg

Hi Dani,
Such a nice groove to this!
We like it very much when you sing in a high key, like in this one.
One of your best we think.
