Hi, friends !

I have been too long away from the forum due
to our trip to Spain and troubles with my
recording gear ! Should be fixed (I guess )?

In any case, here is my latest tune written
for My Li !:))

Haven´t managed to get Soundcloud to accept the mp3
yet so I hereby post the link to box:

http://app.box.com/s/8qthpc0sfqk2y466i1e0mg5kqh9ddvpe

and as I got it to work on soundcloud.......

http://soundcloud.com/user-337827005/my-li

After a lot of wrestling with the gear I could do the
recording with mixcraft 8 on my laptop - compressor
and reverb used sparsely but more on certain instruments

Cheers
Dani

PS Here comes the lyrics:


MY LI (Words & Music by Norman Wibe)

You´ve made a lovely sign
it´s workin´on my mind
t´was so wonderful to find
that you´re so sweet n´kind
so kindly on my mind
my mind

Everytime you´re out of sight
nothin´seems allright
´cause I wanna hold you tight
so tight, allthrough the night
all night , so lightly tight
so light

It´s simply
it´s simply ´cause I love you so
somethin´you already know n´knew
long time ago, anew
anew

Please, come to me (babe)
I´m as lonely as can be
you know I love you Li
I´ll always love you Li
my Li, love you Li,
my Li

You´ve made a lovely sign
it´s workin´on my mind
it´s so wonderful to find
that you´re so sweet n´kind
so kindly on my mind
my mind

Solo

Please, come to me (babe)
I´m as lonely as can be
you know I love you Li
I´ll always love you Li
my Li, love my Li,
my Li

Nice work Dani! Love that groove here, and your vocals are unique and attention-grabbing. The mix sounds really well done too, and I enjoyed the chord progression.

Thanks for sharing smile

So smooth. My goodness, this is warmth. Sweet easy jazz backing and lead supporting low and warm vocals so intimate I was almost embarrassed to listen.

Very, very nice.

Hi Dani,

What a terrific love song and such a wonderful tribute to Li. I LOVE those low notes in the melody. Your bass-baritone register is a delight to listen to.

Once again, you've taken me on a very enjoyable musical journey.

All the best,
Noel

Dani,

I agree with other posters - this is such a warm vocal performance. I like the contrast with your surf songs - no harmonies needed! we are listening to something personal and sincere :less is more is epitomised in this love song.
Whatever production issues you had they`ve been overcome!

Very nice, Dani!

Band sounds good, and man, quite the vibrato happening on that vocal!

The spoken word leading into the solo was perfect.

Your best yet I think.

Hi, Lawrence ....and ye other friends of mine !
My gear has broken down so I do not have the
means to make music for the moment ! This has
been due to my move to Li where I live now but don´t
worry, sooner or later my gear will function again
and I´ll be able to do sweet music again !

my good ol´friend Lawrence - I wanna thank
you for your most kind comments - thank you !

.....and all of you I want to wish a most Merry
Christmas and a most Happy New Year !!!:))

Yours

Dani

So nice to get those most kind words
from you !

Posted By: B.D.Thomas Re: My Li - 08/30/22 08:03 AM
That's a wonderful love song with a very good choice in instruments and arrangement, and you have a really nice and warm voice which I like a lot!

I'm sorry that I seem to be the only one who has some criticism, but in my opinion you overdo the vibrato in your vocals. Not the amount ( you have a really beautiful vibrato in your voice), but how long you hold it. Almost every phrase ends with a loooong vibrato which sounds almost artificial.

I think slowly moving out of the vibrato would sound much better. To me vibrato is like a spice, it emphasizes and improves the taste of a meal, but when used too much it overpowers the taste.
Posted By: Billybmusic Re: My Li - 08/30/22 09:10 AM
Dani,

This is the 1st song of yours i've heard!

It is mellow, relaxing & has a good message.

Nicely done.Thanks for sharing

Billy

Hi, B.D. !


I do believe you are completely right !
I often do have problems with holding a tone
for too long ! A shorter note would
resort in lesser vibrato !

I´m sorry , in this tune I just got
carried away !

Thank you for your most kind comments !

Cheers
Dani
