Hi, friends !

Just had to try this slipjig
resulting in this.

The links:

http://app.box.com/s/hsvpui2r82qb5md824b9vbjzmmm82d3x

http://soundcloud.com/user-337827005/dearest-one



The Style is SLIPJIG.STY
and the instros are:
Bass: 1413 AC Bass
Drums: RD:s Bodhran Celtic Slipjig
Guitar: 1414 AC Guitar Slipjig
Piano: 1277 AC Piano Popuplift
Vocal AAhs: 3063 Vocal aahs

Recorded with Mixcraft on my Lenovo laptop
Reverb and compression used

...and here are the lyrics:

DEAREST ONE (music and words by Norman Wibe)

Where I´ll go, where I´ll be
my thoughts are always of you
dearest one I guess you´ll see
how much I love you so true

We´ve been far and wide
together in love side by side
no matter far or near
you are so close to me dear

T´was a time all gone by
when I was lonely and blue
then you came right out of the sky
and there and then I just knew

That we´ll go together we two
as far as we´re allowed, allowed to do
all our days till that day
we have to part come what may

Till that day, let us live
for today and not for the past
and let us each other give
the sweetest love that will last

Where I´ll go, where I´ll be
my thoughts are always of you
dearest one I guess you can see
how much I love you so true

We´ve been far and wide
together in love side by side
no matter far or near
you are so close to me dear

So just for now, let us live
for today and not for the past
and let us each other give
the sweetest love that will last
yes that will last !

Cheers
Dani

Dani,

great to hear another song from you so soon! A very tender love song, and I'm sure your special lady will greatly appreciate it!

I see that you used a slip jig style, but your arrangement didn't sound like anything I've ever heard in the genre. A clever bit on making it "your own", as they say. That might be the world's first slip jig beach song. Sounds like it could have been a song from a movie in the 60s.

Very impressed with the chord progression and melody.

Someone didn't get to Spain did they? Well I'm glad because you wouldn't have recorded this if you went. This is a winner is every sense of the word.


I get most of my exercise these days from shaking my head in disbelief.

Dani,
Beautifully enduring sentiments captured by your smooth vocal. The style is very unusual- giving a pop feel to the celtic tracks; it works well.

Nice! The vocal was a bit quiet, but the written lyrics made up for that.

Good write, you're probably the most sentimental writer on the forum! smile

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

Dani,

A very sweet write. Deft touch on the harmonies in the production—nicely done. I would like to see that lead vocal come up just a tad, but beyond that some solid work on the production aspects. Like the chord changes throughout. Well done!

All my best,

Deej

Very nice Dani!

Good vocal, love your vibrato (could maybe bring it up a little in the mix, maybe 2db) and nice harmonies too.

I'll bet your wife likes this one!

A beautiful song, Dani. Yes, bring the main vocal up a bit. Your voice and lyrics are too good to bury.


Enjoy whatever happens!
