Hi, friends !

Here is a little country with a train beat
for a Hippie !


https://soundcloud.com/user-337827005/the-old-man?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=

The Old Man (Music and words by Norman Wibe)

There´s an old man, sittin´gazin´at the moon above
I can see the glow on his face
wrinkled by a life spent,both high and low
in another time and space

Where did he come from
where would he go
what is he thinkin´of
I´d surely like to know

Think I´ve seen that face, somewhere else, before
might have been, back in some golden day
seems so strangely odd, I´d like to see, some more
but that door is right there in my way

solo

Soon the moonlight trickles, thru those clouds, again
and I´ll, get a chance, to see
who´s behind that face or is it gonna be in vain
nobody knows ! who might it be ?

Where did he come from
where would he go
what is he thinkin´of
I´d surely like to know

The moon comes out again, shinin´through the blue
can´t see him there anymore
what´s this,my love ? Is there something still I can do
but to walk right out thru that door ?
I think I´ll walk out thru that door !

Dani, I really enjoyed this tune! Love the low vocals in the verse! Kinda got that "Ghost Riders In The Sky" sound! Great job putting this together! Thanks, Torrey

Dani, first thanx for singing a song about me!

I liked everything about this one

Your lower voice against the backing band is perfect

I agree about the later Johnny Cash vibe

Loved it

What a wonderful vocal in this beauty, Dani. Good band well mixed. "a little country with a train beat for a Hippie !" Ha ha. reminds of the train The Grateful Dead rode across Canada. Man, talk about a party bus. Good fun song, Dani.


Enjoy whatever happens!

A very rich voice and a slow, strong melody.
I don't think the train beat suits but it seems to work for others so no worries.


Cheers

It's good to hear a deep baritone voice in a song.

I like where you take us melodically in the chorus!

It has a “Riders of the Purple Sage” feel. smile

You have a rich timbre to your lower register and it adds to the mysterious quality of the lyric.

Good band and mix, Dani, and the solo was cool.

Enjoyed it!

A little different from your usual work. But I'm not complaining :-)

Indeed your vocal has interesting vibes in the lower registries. I would not mind if you added some more (vst) compression/limiting to it, or mix it in slightly hotter.

Neat sound Dani. I love this kind of music, and your voice is fantastic in it. I really liked the steel throughout, but that ending lick you put in there was superb!
