Hi, friends !:))I finally got my gear working again
and will be posting some new material soon 1
In the meantime I felt I had to remix this one
as many of my listeners had mentioned that the
background had too much noise i.e. the background
vocals and after I´ve listened to it I had to
agree ! Don´t know if it is better now but .....?

The instros are the same as on the earlier version
it is only the mix that has changed !

SURFERS FATE (Music and Lyrics by Norman Wibe)


Weather´s just fine for surfin´along today
so will you pack your things once again, my dear
my little darlin´we´ll have to go
for we don´t know for how long it will show
but if we leave now, we´ll be back by five , I swear
surfin´away

Can you feel how excitement grows the closer we get
to the surf and the waves that is somethin´I´ll never forget

We´ve been doin´this thing so many times before
glidin´like magic over the ocean´s floor
love the moment to be towed out to sea
and to ride the waves don´t you see
an addiction, leavin´ you always wantin´more
and to adore !

Can you feel how excitement grows the closer we get
to the surf and the waves that is somethin´I´ll never forget
or a solo

Hurry, darlin´ vamonos now ! ´cause it´s gettin´late !
weather´s fine and the surf seems to me there to rise so great
let´s go fast, thats the right thing to do
I need you darlin´,we´ll have to be two
You know this is what we both could be callin´”surfer´s fate”
surfer´s fate
surfer´s fate

Cheers
Dani

Dani, I can't recall the earlier version but this sound really good to me! The vocals really shine in the mix! You're the surf music king around here! Thanks, Torrey

That mix sounds really good, Dani.

One of your best. Good balance...

That's what I was missing Dani. One of your cool surfing tunes. Super listen on a Friday night. Super vocal and harmonies. Excellent backtrack. Mix was excellent

Hi, Torrey !

Thank you so much
for your most kind comments
really much appreciated !
When it comes to Surfer King
I´m sure there are much better
guys doing it if they just
wanted to do it but, Torrey, I
am nonetheless honored by
your most kind words !

Cheers
Dani

This mix sounds good to me. (I didn't hear the other one either). Is that you with the bass line "ooo mau maus"? Nice. The whole composition was an enjoyable listen. Was the line "Can you feel how excitement grows the closer we get" a deliberate double entendre? Ha!

Cool little surfing tune...
You've done a good job on this one!

Hi, Floyd !:))

Thank you so much for
your most kind comments
really much appreciated !:))

I thought that the earlier mix
did not do the tune justice,
so I just had to remix it
altogether !

Cheers
Dani

I don't remember this one either, but I REALLY like it!! Wonderful vocals! Love the harmonies and the MOW MOW! How many octaves of range do you have? Very cool song, so well delivered. Take care. Greg

Hi, Scott !:))

How nice that I could
fill your friday night
with a little good ol´
surf music (chuckle) !!:))

....and, naturally,
Scott my friend, very
many thanks for your
most kind comments that

Dani

Excellent surf track catches the vibe perfectly. Great range in those vocals.

Peter

Yeah! I remember hearing this before but don't remember what the mix sounded like. This one sounds good to me.

Man, you have the surf genre nailed! Good stuff, and nice to see you back posting again.

Hi Dani,

I really enjoyed that one. I like the fact that it definitely has that surf feel, but you doesn't try to sound like the Beach Boys, but have a very own style. And it's a tune with a very lovely melody.

Very< good.

Stefan

Hi, Greg !:))

I am very glad that you
liked the tune and performance
- thank you so much for those
kind words ! I may move within 3 octaves
but on this as on many other tunes
I also use background oohs or aahs provided
by Band In The Box ! (:.)

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Sergio !:))


Mille Grazie !

Thank you so much for your most

like today !:))

Cheers
Dani

Mix sounds great

Kenny

Hi, Bud & Janice !:-)

I Want to thank you

really much appreciated !

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Eric !:))


Nice that I managed to
bring back nice memories
to you ! I´ll thank you
so much for your most kind
comments !

Cheers
Dani

It is a much nicer mix indeed.
There are a few errant clicks here & there that might be treated and a few spots like at 1.32 where an esss jumps right up and distorts - probably due to reverb.
A de-esser or side chain compression based around that frequency could address that and make the surf even livelier.

Hi, Charlie !:))

you are way too kind with me
but as you know I feel most
honored by your most kind
views !:))

Cheers
Dani

Two words.......LOVE IT

Hi, Peter !:))


Thank you so much for

Dani

Hi, Dave !:))


Thank you so much for
your most kind words
truly much appreciated !

Cheers
Dani

Hi,Stefan !:))


I am very grateful for
your most kind comments.
The point is that you
really try to sound like
the Beach Boys without
being them ! In fact I´m
nowhere near to them, but
maybe the music does sound
like surf music that I
fell for already as a
young man way back then !:))

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Kenny !

Thank you so much for
your most kind comments
really much appreciated !:))

Cheers
Dani

Hi Dani!

I agree with Torrey. Your surf music songs give you a unique standing here in the forum. I especially love those authentic 'surfing' harmonies that you develop. It must quite a bit of effort pulling all those vocals together!

All the best,
Noel

Hi, Ray !:))

You are most certainly right
about with your comment
and I do want to thank you
so very much for having
brought it to my attention !
I will not do corrections now but
if I repost this tune I will
remember your good advice !
Thank you !

Cheers
Dani
