Hi, friends !:))

There was this time when
my love was bound to go away
for a while ! This made me
write this tune using the
following style and instros:

Style: SHOWERS.STY
Bass: 909, Piano: 912, Drums: RD:s Pop rock Basic
Guitar: 664, Synthpad: 1840

Recorded with Mixcraft 8 - reverb and compressor used
sparsely:

The Lyrics:

DREAMIN´LONGIN´YEARNIN (FOR YOU) Music and Words by Norman Wibe

Now and then, skies turn gray
as you´re not close around
and so blue, without you, am I
and I´ll be:

Dreamin´, Longin´, Yearnin´for you, my love

That is when, I hear you say
though I percieve no sound
”leavin´ here, I´ll soon be there, my love
and I´ll be:

Dreamin´, Longin´, Yearnin´for you, my love ”!

What should I do, when you´re away
that I really do not know
please, come back the fastest way
you know I love you so
Love you darlin´so !!

On return, I´ll hold you tight
´cause you´ve been homeward bound
for so long I missed you for so long
and I´ve been:

Dreamin´, Longin´and Yearnin´for you
Dreamin´, Longin´, Yearnin´for you

Cheers
Dani

Dani, another lovely track from you! I have noticed lately that it seems you are experimenting with introducing some new rhythm and instrument sounds into your material and it is a testament to the wonderful options available to us with BIAB! By the way I have enjoyed these recent tunes of yours! Thanks, Torrey

You certainly know how to create pleasant sentimental little love songs...
The style & presentation reminded of romantic songs I still enjoyed hearing...
Like those by Heatwave & others...
As usual... Good job!

Nice work on this, Dani smile It is very peaceful, and I liked the harmonies a lot. It is nicely catchy as well, and the vocals are really sincere. It flows gorgeously too, with a nice groove that pulls it all along.

Thanks for sharing!

Hi, Torrey !:))

I am truly glad for
your most kind words !
You are right that I
have been experimenting
with different styles
and instrumentations 1

BIAB is just wonderful
and there would never
ever been over a hundred
songs without this sublime
program making composing
such an easy task !

Hello Dani,

yes, they're absolutely right: You're the master of love songs. There's always the danger that a love song becomes a bit 'cheesy', but yours are always convincing.

And, yes, I can relate especially to this one, mow that my love has been in hospital for almost a month now and will have to stay there for some more weeks...

Very nice and touching, Dani.

Hi Dani,

Smooth as silk.

I need to play this again when it's dark outside and I can turn down the lights.

Super vocals and harmonies as ever.

ROG.
