Hi, friends !

This maybe one of my last
surf tunes depending on
how my voice will allow.
I could not have done this
without the Daniettes (i.e.
the Voice Aahs of BIAB and
naturally without the
splendid Box Band backing
up it all ! I only had my
celebration semi-acoustic
for solos so I chose to sing
the chorus part instead !

The style used is HAYSTAX.STY (Country Boogie)
and the instros within are:
Bass: 1845, Piano: 1854, Drums RD:s Southern Fast 12-8 Soul
Guitar 1: 953, Guitar 2: 956
and Daniettes being Vocal AAhs 3063

Recorded with mixcraft 8 pro - reverb and compressor used

Here are the links:

.....and here are the lyrics:

SURFERS FATE (Music and Lyrics by Norman Wibe)


Weather´s just fine for surfin´along today
so will you pack your things once again, my dear
my little darlin´we´ll have to go
for we don´t know for how long it will show
but if we leave now, we´ll be back by five , I swear
surfin´away

Can you feel how excitement grows the closer we get
to the surf and the waves that is somethin´I´ll never forget

We´ve been doin´this thing so many times before
glidin´like magic over the ocean´s floor
love the moment to be towed out to sea
and to ride the waves don´t you see
an addiction, leavin´ you always wantin´more
and to adore !

Can you feel how excitement grows the closer we get
to the surf and the waves that is somethin´I´ll never forget
or a solo

Hurry, darlin´ vamonos now ! ´cause it´s gettin´late !
weather´s fine and the surf seems to me there to rise so great
let´s go fast, thats the right thing to do
I need you darlin´,we´ll have to be two
You know this is what we both could be callin´”surfer´s fate”
surfer´s fate
surfer´s fate


Cheers
Dani

Well done dani48! I really enjoyed the overall chord progression. Great work on the guitars and rhythm too. Reminds me a little bit of The Beach Boys. Thanks for sharing!


Cheers,
Joe

Hi, Joe !:))

Thank you so much for
your most kind words !
The papaummmawmaw is Beach
Boys which was intended too.
Though I love their music
I am not even close to
sound like them - Brian
Wilson knew what he was doing
and I just wanted to have some
fun, which it has been producing
these small BB:ish tunes.
Unfortunately I think I have
to move to other genrés but
in that case I´m gonna miss
those sounds!:)))

Cheers
Dani

Hi Dani,

You really captured the essence of surfing music with this one! Definite similarity to The Beach Boys and Jan & Dean. Great harmonies and lead vocal. Loved the key modulation. What a great listen! Best to you, my friend.

That was fun! It certainly caught the flavor of those classic surf songs, and put a smile on my face. laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi Dani,

There's no-one on the forum who does the classic surf sound as effectively as you do. I love the bass vocals in the opening! You certainly have a wonderful range of notes that you can bring to a production.

As always, I enjoyed travelling along with your music. I'm always entertained when I listen to your work.

All the best,
Noel

You are still hanging 10 Dani!

Another great surf song. Flashback to the mid to late 60's when I was listening to Jan and Dean, The Beach Boys etc.

Excellent vocal and mix.
