Hi, friends !

Been too long since I
have had the chance to pop up
on the site, but I tried to put
together this little Christmas tune
-or should I say - a little tune
about a wish for a white Christmas
in these weird times !

LONGING FOR THE SNOW

Soundcloud:

Box:

Longin´For The Snow (music and lyrics by Norman Wibe)

1.

Here am I
lookin´out of my window
over a blacknin´ground
as dark as the sky
and I´m wond´rin´
will the snow ever come
we´re in the midst
of Christmas time

2.

Somehow,
I know we need the snow
to light up everythin´
and bring us back the joy
of Christmas time
the way it used to be
how I miss those times
way back then
when you could sing
without no fear

Ref:

It does´nt feel
just like before
so much pain
and sufferin´brought upon the world
can´t recall
I´ve lived thru times like this
but I´m still young
though I´am old

3.

Snow !, I´m longin´
for you to come
please fall upon us
cover with a quilt of white
let the world
purify itself
under your big
big white blanket
grant us all
a White Christmas !

The Style used is: Cascade.STY
and the instros I´ve used
are as follows:

Bass: 2479, Piano: 2462
Drums: Rockliteeven
Synth Pad: 1841 and Vocal oohs: 3064

Reverb and Compressor used
Recorded with mixcraft 8 pro
on my lenovo table computer

Cheers
Dani

Captivating sound, Dani. Nice use of the ooohs; your voice floats nicely on them. Interesting write, interesting idea, and well cultivated.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Love the track selection. Such a mellow mood.

I like the deep vocal performance. I would like to hear a little louder in the first verse.

Nice write.

Very nice tune Dani!! Love your voice in the low register......so much character in it!! Having lived in California around sea level, we never get snow for Xmas but I always think about it since it is mentioned in so many Xmas songs. Really, really nice song!!! Take care. Greg

A beautiful tune.

Very nice backing tracks. The oohs work well.

One of you all-time best!

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

thru Christmases up here without
snow so it really did not make any difference
but Greg, I am very grateful for your
most kind comments really very much
appreciated !

Dani ...

This has that signature arrangement of yours ... and that's a really good thing! O really like the lower register of your voice ... so mellow and has a distinctive charisma. Your backing tracks are perfect.

I grew up in middle America (St. Louis, Missouri) where we received quite a bit of snow in the winter. But I now live in the southern part of the US and if you mention snow here, the people go into a deep panic!. I do miss the distinct four seasons.

That was a terrific listen! Always like your music.

Wishing you the very best and hope you have a great Chrsitmas!!!

Alan

Vocals were a little low so having the lyrics really helped that a lot. Nice job, loved the timbre of your voice. Happy holidays!

How nice to see a Koala in the SoundCloud image. What an excellent choice (but I might be a little biased).

You did a great job Dani, really nice.

Nice seasonal tune for sure.

Excellent use of the BiaB Band and

vocal performance.

Enjoyed it!
