Hi Guys & Ladies !:))

Having suffered a bout of
nostalgia I just had to
redo one of the original songs
on my 1992 record ! I dubbed
the song " SING AND SWING" which
is the exact equivalent of the
original name of the song written
in Swedish !

I had worked a bit on this one before
I discovered that less is more when
it came to different voices as they did
blur the song too much so I reduced them
to what you can hear on this track.

This is what someone of you might
call a feelgood song as was the
intention from the very beginning
and I really hope you´ll experience
it that way also.

Recorded with Mixcraft 7 pro, Stagg Mic,
compressor and reverb used.

The Style is POPJZSW.STY and the instros are:
Bass: Hi-Q034, Piano: 2198, Drums: RD:s PopJazzLiteSw
Guitar 1: 1228, Artist: strings, Guitar 2: 962
The solo is played with my Fender Mexico and the
fills with my Ovation Celebrity Acoustic

Here are the links:

http://soundcloud.com/user-337827005/sing-and-swing

http://app.box.com/s/kow9n1gq6zrft621xxlmfilvbwm0krp9

The Lyrics are as follows:

SING AND SWING ( Music and Lyrics by Norman Wibe)

When you feel completely blue and gray
and you´d rather move around than stay
when you feel like running come what may
don´t you mind if this is what I´ll say:

”You better take a swing and sing this song
that´ll make you feel allright now
sing and swing along
that´ll make you so fine
yeah so fine, yeah so fine
makes you sway down the line
you gotta swing and sing along
that´ll make you feel allright now
sing and swing along
that´ll make you so fine”

You gotta believe me, believe me
I know what you need to do
darling you´ll see, you´ll see
this is just the tune that´s ment for you

When you feel so close to dull and down
and it feels like you´ve just lost your crown
when you walk around with features frown
and you know you need another gown

”You better take a swing and sing this song
that´ll make you feel allright now
sing and swing along
that´ll make you so fine
yeah so fine, yeah so fine
makes you sway down the line
you gotta swing and sing along
that´ll make you feel allright now
sing and swing along
that´ll make you so fine” ……….solo

When you feel you´re deeply in the blue
and it seems your dreams just won´t come true
when you feel your feet are in the glue
come along and sing along you too:

”You better take a swing and sing this song
that´ll make you feel allright now
sing and swing along
that´ll make you so fine
yeah so fine, yeah so fine
makes you sway down the line
you gotta swing and sing along
that´ll make you feel allright now
sing and swing along
that´ll make you so fine”

Cheers
Dani

Hi Dani,

Now that's a real toe-tapper! Love the casual swing sentiment. And those key modulations were a nice touch. Key modulations give a song a new boost and freshen it. Nice job, Dani! Glad you re-did this one for us.

Hello, Dani

This is another nice suffer tune.
But a little different from usual Beach Boys' sound.
The key change is also nice as usual.
Very swingy.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Dani, this is outstanding. Love the modulations and the casual swing while do you a great job with the sing. This genre fits you perfectly. Super sweet guitar lead. See I told you that you were a lead guitarist whistle

You should be very proud of this one.
