Well, hi friends !
I found this old tune of mine from

it to BIAB. :)) The song is written
when abroad, longing back to
the green green grass of home !:))

Lyrics:

NORTHWARD BOUND (by Dani)

Home,
take me the long way home
under the Northern sky
that´s where I wanna be
breathin´the air so free

Home,
take me the long way home
where the winter is cold
home to the snowy ground
yes, I am Northward bound

I,
long for the Northern Light
shinin´bright
all over the sky in the Northern night

Home,
take me the long way home
to the only place
I wanna spend my days
in the hot summer haze

Home,
take me the long way home
under the Northern sky
that´s where I wanna live
that´s where I wanna die

I,
long for the Northern Light
shinin´bright
all over the sky in the Northern night

shinin´so bright, (repeat )

Hi Dani,

nice song and nice harmonies.
Have you really got a hot summer haze in Finland?
Enjoyed it a lot as always.

Guenter

Hi Dani,

Love the feel and arrangement of your song - reminds of sitting on a train ride through the Rockies. Did you sing the lower part too?

Thanks for sharing,
Ray

Dani,

Nice! Cool song. Nice instrumentation. The Brass sounds really good.
Good mix all around - and nice vocals and harmonies.

Terrific job.

floyd

Good job Dani. I enjoyed your song.

Charlie

Well, Trevor..

Thank you so much for your most kind words !:))
I could not really find a good replacement
for the rhytm we used on the record back in 1992
but I think I came pretty close after all !

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Guenter, my ol´friend !:))

Thank you for your most kind words.
Up here we can have summers that
are very hot but it can also be
the opposite ! It all depends on the Siberian
Highs and how they build up and how far
westwards they will push !:))

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Sonny :))

I am very glad you liked the feel
of the tune ! It really is about
longing to return home after a
faraway trip abroad:))

Yes, I did sing all vocals on this
track:))

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Floyd !:))

You are all too kind with
this old crooner, but he
appreciates your most kind
words truly much !:))

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Charlie !:))


I do thank you for your
most kind comment !:))


Cheers
Dani

Hi Dani,

What a pretty song. I like it a lot. I could visualize the northern lights - home sounds like a wonderful place.


Josie

Hi Dani. A real travelling feel to this one. Cheers.

Ya, i want to go home there now, and i've never been! I likethat beat, like another user mentioned, riding a train moving forward. Nice choice and ideas/imagery. Patrick

Good stuff, Dani! Very nice listen, indeed! Congrats!

Hi Dani ...

If you've ever posted a bad song, we've not heard it. Another great song and performance. it's always a pleasure to listen to you! Love the drums! Thanks for a terrific listen!

Alan & Di

Hi, Josie !:))

Thank you my friend for
your most kind words !:))
Yes, home is not as bad
and cold as one might think,
summers up here can be
very warm indeed (depending
mostly on how far the Siberian highs
push westwards !:))
Midsummer over here is almost
magical with never ending daylight
and lighted up bonfires all along the coastline !:))

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Rich !:))


Thank you so much for your
kind words ! Yes,I did not
search for a style with
that rolling train feeling,
but you can in fact imagine
a train pushing Northward here !:))

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Patrick !:))


Thank you so much for
your kind words !:))
Our summer nights are
truly magical especially
at midsummer when we lit
bonfires all along the
coastline to go with the
never ending daylight !:))

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Mike !

Thank you so much for
your encouraging words
truly much appreciated !:))


Cheers
Dani

Hi, Al & Di !

You are being all too nice
with this old crooner but,
as you surely know,I feel
most humbled by your very
nice assessment !:))

Cheers
Dani

Really sweet Dani!! Interesting how you and I posted songs of longing for home the same week. I really love the emotion in your images. The step up at the chorus took me musically by surprise somewhat but I feel it worked. This is a nice little gem! PS Thanks for your kind words about my latest. Take care, and keep posting. Always look forward to hearing what your doing! Greg

Hello Dani,
A nice and catchy song. Kind of reminds us of the Love Boat theme back in the 80s.
Regards,
R & AM

Dani, I really like the salsa feel on this one. The horns sound good. I might have brought their level up a bit. Nice lyrics and melody. Nicely sung. Great job, one of your best. Tom

Hi, Greg !:))

...and thanks for your most kind
words !:)) Yeah, you are right !
It is funny that we both picked
such a tune !:))
