Hi, friends ! Been quite a long time since I´ve been able to do some new stuff ! I wrote a couple of songs that I haven´t been able to produce the way I should like (maybe my self chriticism has grown over the years) This little surf tune I had to do together with the Daniettes and so I have to thank them so very much for their sweet backing ! Here are the links to the music: http://soundcloud.com/user-337827005/surfins-goin-onhttp://app.box.com/s/uo7mmaaxbw0usqoukprk428bk1z11k81...and here are the lyrics: SURFIN´S GOIN´ ON (music and lyrics by Norman Wibe) You know that I´ve been travelin far and wide, oh my darlin´ ´cause I´ve been chasing those waves all over the world and I´ve been surfin´ both tidal waves and big, big, mav´ricks alike feelin´that urge to surf again deep inside My sweet little darlin´won´t you help me pack our gear now ´cause we´ll just have to fly so far away the airplane leaves at five today, and there´s no chance to stay Let´s hurry darlin´, don´t stop, come what may Surfin´s goin´on no more turfin´along The boards are ready and so should we, now my darlin´ let´s stuff the rest all back in the trunk of my car we need to get ev´rything on board as we´ll be travelin´so far there we´ll be just you and me afar Surfin´s goin´on no more turfin´along Surfin´s larger than life I don´t need to tell you and you´ll be havin´the happiest time of your life ridin´on the crest of those wonderful waves you´ll gonna feel the bliss that´s the thing you´ll always gonna miss that´s the thing you´ll always gonna miss that´s the thing you´ll always gonna miss The Style is LARRY.STY (Larry Shuffle Style) and the instros are: Bass: 34, Elec Piano: 6, Drums: RD:s Pop Shuffle Guitar: 24, Organ: 19 Rock Organ and the Daniettes are Voice Oohs: 54 Voice Oohs Recorded with Mixcraft 8 on my laptop Compression and reverb used ! Cheers Dani

Very well done  Love the harmonies here. It sounds really lush and is a great throwback to the classic surfer rock style. The vocals are spot on here, and there's some great progressions too. Great work - thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Deryk

Dani, This is really cool. The Beach Boys came to mind immediately. Love the backing vox and the overall mix. This is really an excellent production. Glad you are back!!

Cool one, Dani.
Your "Beach Boys thing" gets better with each offering. Nice harmonies and the Oohs and Aahs really work well.
You captured that 60's sound well.

(thanks for stopping by "A New You". I doubt I will re-visit the thread).

Excellent layered vocals gives a real big Beach Boys sound on this one.
Clever vocal arrangement and a nice overall feel.
Excellent work.

Dani,
Great energy and the warm feelings come through, as they always do in your music.
Your voice is in fine form... and those harmonies!
Keep that surf sound coming.

Nice that the "boys" are back!
We enjoyed the imagery, vocals and the textured production.
I had bleached hair, I had a board and I was a lousy surfer! Guess it took more than that.
We really enjoyed this Dani.
