Hi, ol´friends !

As I am still struggling with
my singing I decided to try
and redo an older piece that
I originally wrote in 92 and which
was on the album of that same year !

I guess it is a bit anachronistic to
put up a summer song this time of the
year as we are still so far away from
it with temperatures around + 3 celcius,
but I assure you that the lyrics are
describing a summertime up here in the North
with wonderful weather and warm water - a weather
that we get to experience at least once a year
for a longer or shorter period depending on
how far west the Siberian Highs will go !:))

The Style is POPJZSW.STY and the instros are:
Bass: 034, Piano:2198, Drums: LAPOPJAZZLITESW,
Guitar: 1228 and Synth: 1840. Solo: Fender Mexico.
The links are:

http://soundcloud.com/user-337827005/a-summersong-final

http://app.box.com/s/y87g0amjdi309uxqukcpooixezlhpj5s

and for comparison , here is the original track:

http://app.box.com/s/28k0vhwrx0te0ymbhpyqn0du3whzn1bv

...and the lyrics are as follows:

A SUMMER SONG (Music and Lyrics by Dani)
Now is the time for us to hum or sing a summer song
because the summer´s here awaited thru all winter long
so throw your undies long and winter boots in a carton
because she comes again
to every shack and den

Now is the time for us to push the boat back to the sea
and let all dreary thoughts of winter melt away, you see
how nature´s green is popping up from every cleft and tree
because she´s here again
just like a long lost friend
wild and free!

At the beach all the kids are at play
it is so sweet to be down there
warmer water to swim and to spray
and softer winds for us to share

Now is the time for us to throw away all clothes we wear
and jump into the warmer water in the nude so fair
because the summer will be leavin´when the time is there
she comes and goes at will
until she´s got her fill
She´ll be here !!!!, ……solo

Now is the time for us to lift our voices in her praise
because the Southern winds are reigning in a leaner pace
we should not worry if a heat relapse will hit our face
it won´t be here to stay
so fast it goes away
Come what may !!!!

Everyone´s on his way to a pool
to catch that all enchanting tan
Oh how sweet change both desktop and stool
for just a moment in the sun

And when the time is ripe for us to turn around again
we´ve been refreshed to soul and body just expecting when
she is retiring makes it easier to leave her then
because I reassure
she´s coming back for sure
back again

Cheers
Dani

Hi Dani,

I really enjoyed this. You've done a great job.

The relaxed swing style that you've used to back this with is a perfect fit. It's magical. Your singing sounds excellent and your writing shines. The key change also made me sit up and pay attention.

This is my new favourite of yours smile

All the best,
Noel

Enjoyed it from the first note Dani.

The harmonies worked extremely well, and both the style and delivery were really well put together, absolutely complementing each other.

Another good one, for sure.

Hi Dani,

What a great song! The key changes are great. Modulating keys always gives a song a fresh breath and renews interest. Your vocal sounds great to us. That gentle swing is so soothing to the ears and mind. The speaking part at the end was a pleasant surprise!

A delicious song!

Hi Dani, Nice song, I know what you mean about the voacls, after over 20 years since writing the voice box doesnt do what it used to, however you did a magnificent job.

I expect all you Finns must have a good sense of humour and look forward to the summer coming.
Well done my friend I loved the irony behind the lyrics.
Paul
PS enjoy your summer when it arrives.

Dani, As previously mentioned, the key changes twist the ear in a good way. I always enjoy trying to guess your chord progressions. Most of the time I am wrong. You always make the structure interesting. I like the guitar playing and the spoken word ending. Very creative. Tom

Dani,

I really enjoyed the singalong music and optimism and humour in the lyrics.
Listening to the original its interesting to hear the change in your voice.. both deeper and sweeter in the higher register now to my ears!
The oohs on the chorus are lovely.

Robert

Hi Dani,
I don't see a problem at all with your singing, but as someone who is just starting again after ten years I understand how you might struggle with that. I finally decided that since I couldn't go back I just as well start a new chapter and enjoy myself. Your writing skills are right on the mark, I might add. Great job.
