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-on

http://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 smile 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!

What a delightful cheery Summery song Dani, if this song doesn't cheer someone up,nothing will!

Dani you keep getting better and better, this is my new favourite of yours.

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).

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.
