The Lyrics:

You Are Just So Beautiful (by Dani) ©Dani Lindroos 2014

December 64
We met each other on your school´s dance floor
I can´t believe, it seems like time’s stood still
oh what a thrill
to meet like before

Blond hair and light blue eyes
and features looking oh so sweet and nice
you were that girl that stood so high and tall
I´ll always fall
for you once or twice
at least, just throw the dice
throw the dice

You are just so beautiful
You are just so beautiful

Now, there´s a wave to ride
I can assure you, I´ve got nothing to hide
my feelings for you they are real and pure
only heartache to endure
we can put aside,
something we can put aside
put aside

You are just so beautiful
You are just so beautiful,
so beautiful my love !

Dani & Floyd,

What a great, uplifting song! Loved the chord progression and the vocals were fabulous. We totally loved our listen. That was so easy on the ears. Great job by both of you ... kudos!

Alan & Di

We do thank you so much

good idea to hide the guitar

In this case it was the el piano !!

Well done, nice upbeat love song; thanks for sharing!

Hi Dani,

you already know what I think about this song.
You topped it with Floyd's duetted harmony
voices.
Great collab.

Dani, that was a real nice use of those BIAB styles. I enjoyed your memorable melodies and Floyd's harmonies which mixed very well. Makes me think of the Monkees with it's uplifting "happy-go-lucky" feel.

Very nice top hat and tails show song. Enjoyed both super vocals and the arrangement a lot. Cheers.

WOW what a great job you guys did on this one!

Super arrangement, vocals and mix, this has it all!

If you had said May 64 and changed the blonde hair to brown I could sing this to my wife!

Ps - I'll let you guess when we met and what color her hair is

Hi, Patrick !:))


We are much obliged by
your more than kind words !:))
Thank you Patrick so much !:))

Cheers
Dani
(the monkees fan)

Hi, Richard !:))

I´d better try and find
my top hat somewhere...? (chuckle) !!:))
Richard, we are so glad that
you liked the vocals
and the arrangement !:))

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Mario !:))

Thank you so very much
for your most kind words !!:))
Could it be that we are
quite close age wise that is ?:))
Don´t hit me Mario if I
guess that you and your wife met
in may 64 and that she still has that
lovely chestnut colored hair with
some silver in it ???

Cheers
Dani

PS:

You could always alter the start line and
sing "it was in may 64" :))

Hi Dani.

What a great track - the whole song has a super-smooth feel to it.

The harmony was such a good idea and beautifully done by Floyd. I think backing vocals are often under-valued in terms of what they add to a song. When you listen to professional recordings, it's very hard to find a song with only one voice, most of them having some sort of BVs.

Finally, I loved the line near the end which was sung "baritone". Clever touch, that.

Really enjoyed it, thanks.

ROG.

Dani -

One of your best, I believe...uplifting, catchy....

good mixing.

I enjoyed singing with you!

floyd

Hi, Roger !:))

We do thank you so very much
for your most kind words !:))
Floyd did a wonderful job
singing the duetted voice !!:))
I agree with you completely,
backing vocals are often under-
rated though they are usually
absolutely necessary to flavour
the tune, as in this case !:))


Cheers
Dani

Hi, Floyd !:))

The pleasure was all on my side !:))
...and your duet voice was the icing on the cake
without any doubt !:))

I enjoyed singing with you too !:))

Cheers
Dani

That one is right up their with your best productions Dani and very cool to have the fj harmony for sure!

Your chords and melodies are always memorable -- throw in the nice vocals and they just keep dancing around in my head.

Nice!!

Great collab guys!! What can I say? Very fun and cool, positive, energetic, and the vocals work great! Really enjoyed it. Take care. Greg

Hi Dani,

That's my kind of song! Cheerful, melodic and impossible to listen to without smiling I loved it. Your writing and your singing are just great and floyd's harmony is excellent. All in all, a terrific listen!

It's a good healthy round of applause from me!

All the best,
Noel.

Hi, Janice & Bud !:))

You are too kind with us
but it was a pleasure to
sing with Floyd I do admit that !

I feel humbled by your more than
kind words !:))
