Under The Surfer Moon (Music and words by Norman Wibe)

Let´s fly away my darlin´
fly from the coldest roon
let´s fly away right soon
stay there for all of June
under the surfer moon
we´ll be kissin´each other deeply in love

Let´s go and feel the ocean
ride on the wildest waves
surfin´from dawn till noon
earnin´the greatest voon
under the surfer moon
we´ll be huggin´each other tight in love

Let´s find out what it really means to be
out on the deep blue sea
surfin´in love, together you and me

Let´s fly away my darlin´
fly from the coldest roon
let´s fly away right soon
stay there for all of June
under the surfer moon
we´ll be kissin´each other deeply in love

Let´s find out what it really means to be
out on the deep blue sea
surfin´in love, together you and me

Will you not join me darlin´
let´s hurry far away
we gotta get there fast
summertime there won´t last
then we´ll be under the moon
I´ll be holding you oh so tight in love
in love !

Very nice tune Dani. Loved the vocal and harmonies..

Dani
Lovely harmonies - continues the Beach Boy vibe - very clever.

Hi Dani,

You seem to be making a quite home in the surfin' 60s genre these days! Loved the key change. It made me sit up and pay attention because I wasn't expecting it. That was a nice arranging touch indeed.

It's always a pleasure to listen to you sing and hear what you've put together.

All the best to you and Li,
Noel

Hi Dani,

For me your best so far.. I cant believe that standard of harmonies you achieved, excellent.
Having surfed most of my life, it really hit a sweet spot.

Paddy G

You nailed that one, Dani!

The harmonies are perfect!
A very solid BB write - lyric and melody.
Killer melody!

Excellent.

fj

Oh yeah! Another fine one Dani. Somewhere I have a picture of me with my board on top of a VW! Your surf tunes bring back many memories...and you do them so well!

Thanks for the fun.

J&B

Hi Dani,

great Beach Boys vibe again.
Lovely harmonies.
Enjoyed that a lot.

Guenter

Dani........Dude.....totally gnarly tune there.



Regards,

Bob

Hi, Scott !!!:))

I´m truly glad you
liked the vocal harmonies
as they were not easy to do
not in the key I had chosen !
I could have altered the key
but then again I had already
sung the lead parts so.....


Thank you so much for your
very kind words !

Cheers
Dani

What a lovely song, very enjoyable! I always like creamy harmonies so this was a real listening pleasure, especially with the modulations going on in there.

John

Very, very sweet!! One of your best melodies ever-the Beach Boys would have had a top 10 with this. I see you've left the Loch and gone back to the ocean. Really beautiful Dani!! Take care. Greg

Hi Dani,

Such a nice groove to this!
We like it very much when you sing in a high key, like in this one.
One of your best we think.

Beautiful song. Great harmonies. Your best so far I think.

I think this is a really good song.

Dani,

Wow! Welcome to the 60s! I really admire your range and versatility - excellent song.

Bob

Hi, Peter !

Thank you so very much
for your most kind comment !

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Noel !:))

Am so glad you liked it !
The key changes are kinda
cool yeah but they brought
me up so high I was close to
my upper ceiling ! :))

As everything is woodshedding
I had no clear idea where I
would land with the highest
notes beforehead !

I want to thank you, ol´ bud,
for your most kind words !:))

...and thank you for your greetings to
Li too !!!

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Paddy !


Thank you so very much for
your most kind words which
made me feel so grateful and
humble !

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Floyd !:))


I am more for thankful for your
most kind comments !
I think I could have done a better
version but my energy just didn´t
allow me this time and I don´t think
I have the tenacity that Rob has !

Thanks ol´bud for your most kind
words, I wish I had been a lost
Wilson brother after all !:))

Cheers
Dani

Intoxicating! A sweet reprise for the day.

Dani, This is another showcase of your understanding of the beach boys vibe. A great use of modulation. Fantastic falsetto harmonies. Beautiful job. Tom

Hi, Bud & Janice !

Thank you so very much for your
most kind words ! You have to
find that picture of you with
that surfing board atop of your ol´buggy
and send it to me !!!! I´d love
to have it !!!!

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Guenter ol´chap !

new english word !:))

Cheers
Dani

Hi, John !:))


Thank you so much for your

my favourite vocal group !:))

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Greg !:))


Thank you so much for your
most kind words making me
humble indeed !:))

Brian Wilson is still going
strong after what I´ve heard
and he is a genius and the
founder of the surf type music
I´ve always been weak for !:))

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Rob and Anne-Marie !

How nice of you to
bestowe such kind words
on my performance !

I´ve used to falsetto-
singing as I´ve done it
all my life and in fact it
is many times de facto easier
than singing with a breast
voice that in my case normally
is kinda low !

Cheers
Dani

This is a really fun song!! Good job! It made me happy listening to it!

A nicely constructed song.
The harmonies work a treat.
Some of the melodic phrases are def. Pet Sounds coolness.
I was distracted though by "roon".
At 1st I thought it was a typo but it was repeated...
maybe it's rune or possibly lion but neither fit the context.
I'm not sure what it should be so my mind has been distracted (I must be ADH).

Dani,
Your best surfin song yet! Pretty melody and lyrics. You have an amazing vocal range probably the widest here with such warm smooth tones throughout.

Hi, Charlie !:))

I do thank you for your
most kind comments in fact
they make me feel humble !


Take Care !

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Bob !:))

Thank you for your
invitation and kind words !
I guess that the 60;s music
is behind quite many of us
and what´s better than that !

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Lawrence !:))

How nice of you to
drop me such a kind
line ! I really wanna
thank you for that !:))

Take Care

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Tom !:))

kind words really very much !


Cheers
Dani

Hi, David !

I am so glad I could
make you happy with this
song and I wanna thank
you so much for your
most kind words !:))

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Ray !:))

Thank you for your most kind
words and constructive chritic !
Just for the record: according to
Encyclopaedia Britannica roon is
the equivalent of the Scottish word
for round and that should go quite well
in this context !:))

Cheers
Dani

Hi Dani!

This is awesome! It's definitely my new favorite among your Beach Boys themed songs!

The vocals are tight, the lyrics are very similar to the kinds of lyrics in Brian Wilson's early songs, and the chord pattern was also very interesting and appropriate to the style! As mentioned by others, the melody is also original and good for the genre, and I think the crowning glory is your choice of harmonic notes.

I have a TCHelicon vocal harmonizer for live gigs, and it's overwhelming how many different kinds of harmonies can be used in a song. This harmony isn't the standard 3rd up that you tend to hear on 75% of songs! As a barber shop guy, I'm sure you are far more aware of harmonic possibilities than most of us, and your Beach Boys series is a good showcase for that knowledge. (This song especially)

GREAT JOB!

Dani,
Very nice song. The harmonies are great. Nice idea to modulate up. Very period.
SD

Dear Josie !:))

You are too kind with me
but I am nonetheless humbled
by your most kind words and want
to thank you so much for them!:))

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Pat !:))

I am feeling humble by your
more than kind comments and
want to thank you for them
so very much. I do not think I
am the one on the forum that
has the widest range but I did
discover my falsetto already
at young age and have been
practizing singing in many voices
from way back in school times.

Thank you Pat for your most
kind words !

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Lawrence !

Thank you for your
most kind comment,
really much appreciated 1

Cheers
Dani

Hi, SD !:))


I am much obliged by your
most kind comments !
Thank you for them SD !

Dani
