Hi, friends !:))

I wanted to try and do
something in 4 voices
so I wrote this little
lovesong to experiment
on !

The Style is : _COURAGE.STY
and the instros are: Bass: 2610
Piano: 2728
Drums: RD:s Blues Rock Shuffle
Guitar: 1585
Organ: 2729 and
Voice Oohs Aahs: 2975

The link is:

http://soundcloud.com/user-337827005/let-me-hug-you-2


The box version is slightly rerecorded:

http://app.box.com/s/s4nh1mu1r26cpu7vhm4w49y5ro9jpahy

and the lyrics are as follows:

Let Me Hug You All Thru This Magical Night ( Words and music by Norman Wibe)


I love you Darlin´
that´s clear as the clear blue sky
wanna take you Darlin´
in my arms as you pass me by
so let me Darlin´
caress you and hold you tight
my little Darlin´
and hug you, all thru this magical night
Darlin´

whenever we meet
I start to sway
on tremblin´feet
what can I say
my Darlin´

´cause you´re so sweet
winter turns to may
can you hear the beat
as my heart goes gay
all the way

I need you Darlin
I need you for ever more
I´ll kiss you Darlin´
your lips I do adore
I´ll hug you Darlin´
let me hold you, it feels allright
my sweetest Darlin´
and hug you, all thru this magical night

whenever we meet
I start to sway
on tremblin´feet
what can I say
my Darlin´

´cause you´re so sweet
winter turns to may
can you hear the beat
as my heart goes gay
all the way

I want you Darlin´
my sweetheart and only one
adore you Darlin´
with you there´s always fun
my dearest Darlin´
you´re my star and you´re my sun
my only Darlin´
let me hug you, all thru this magical night

Recorded with Mixcraft 8 - reverb and comp used

Cheers
Dani

Dani,
Well done tune! Multi vocal take worked very well with "Oohs Aahs" Got nice 50s love song mood. Liked it!

The only thing, drums sound a bit flat... could it be that your mix is less than 256K? Sometimes I forget to up the bitrate for MP3s and get similar effect... Thank you for sharing.

Sweet and warm melody, chording and singing, expressing nicely the approaching summer of love. Very catchy and super harmonies, crying for a video full of serene sea scenes smile

Dani, this is another great "surf" style tune from you. No one here does them as well as you in my opinion! You have the ability to sing in a very wide vocal range and stay on pitch and that's not easy to do! Thanks, Torrey

Hi, Floyd !:))

Thank you for your
most kind words so
very much appreciated !
Now over here I think we should
be able to start easing
some of the Corona-restrictions
maybe sometimes around half of may ?

We, that is me and Li and our families
have so far been well and we do hope
we´ll stay that way too !
Our only regret is that we are not
able to travel to our summer-home
in Spain during summer but who knows
maybe later next fall !

Stay safe !

Cheers
Dani

So smooth, Dani. The voices are right on --wish there was an a capella version. I had a couple listens to see if the drum really does bother me. It does. That snare seems so harsh for this beautiful melody and voices. Great writing. Stay well.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Dani ...

You have a signature sound that's immediately recognizable. And it's wonderfully smooth and savvy sound. This is so smooth ... like fine silk. The retro sound is till a winner today. Also, loved the key modulation!

Excellent!

Wishing you the best. Be safe ...
