Hi, friends !

I regret having been away
for so long but I have been down in
Spain with Li to buy a flat that I
dubbed MARIANICO after a certain
street close to it! It really
is a a gem that you want to visit
as often as possible with a wonderful
view over the Mediterranean and so
close to the beach and sea that you
only need to step over a paved road
and you´re straight in the water !:))

The Style is: GLORIA.STY
and the instros are:
Synbass: 39, Elec. piano: 5
Drums: RD:s Pop Bouncy
Guitar: GM2 28/1
Strings: GM2 49/1
Voice OOohs: 54 voice oohs
Voice Aahs: 3063

MARIANICO Music and Words by Norman Wibe

I´ve been waitin´

I´ve been waitin´
for to sing this song

It´s on my mind
day and night
oh what a find
feels allright

You ought to know

our summerplace down there in Spain

It´s on the fifth
all attico !
what a gift
My Marianico!

Can´t believe
what a view
you will percieve
from the roof so new !

By now you think you know
all about, yeah all about
our summerplace down there in Spain

Darlin´
let´s go to Spain
let´s do it
let´s go down to Spain
again, and again
wanna go now, no let´s run !
there we´ll be havin´so fun
surfin´along in the sun

It´s so cool
though hot outside
makes you drool
viewing the tide

rollin´in
from the sea
we´re fallin´
for it me and Li

Now you´re sure you know
all about, yeah all about
our summerplace down there in Spain

Darlin´
let´s go to Spain
let´s do it
let´s go down to Spain
again, and again
wanna go now, no let´s run !
there we´ll be havin´so fun
surfin´along in the sun

Hi Jim !

Thank you for your
most kind words !
I did change the
picture as requested
you´ll see it as the
picture attached to the
soundcloud version !:))

Cheers
Dani

A very strong vocal performance...what did you do differently?

Really well done, Dani - excellent use of the vocal realtracks. I thought the harmonies were top notch too.

Thanks for sharing

Dani,
I like your arrangement. Also, I thought your vocal modulations are very interesting in this tune! Very positive vibe. Probably all that vitamin D from the sun
Thank you for sharing!

Misha.

Really pretty song!! Sounds like a beautiful place! How are real estate prices in Spain? You got me excited with this song!! Very nicely done!! Take care. Greg

Hi, Ray !:))

Thank you so much
for your most kind
words ! You ask me
what happened to my
Scandinavian sss:ss ?
Well, I truly don´t know !

Have yourself a most
wonderful X-mas and
may your New Year be
as fruitful as ever !

Cheers
Dani

Hi Dani,

Love it!!!

It's great to see you back on the forum again. If the picture on Soundcloud is taken from you flat, it's a terrific view. And the water is so clear!

I hope that you and Li have a wonderful Christmas and terrific 2020!
Noel

Hi, Deryk !

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

Have yourself a most Merry
X-mas and a most Happy New Year too !!!

Cheers
Dani

Hi Dani,

this is definitely one of my favourite songs from you, Like mostly it sounds so refreshingly different and I like your vocals anyway. Very cool. Or rather hot - afzer all it's about Spain.

All the best and happy holidays,

Stefan

A wonderful introduction via your production to a wonderful place!

Happy holidays...

We enjoyed the visit!

J&B

Thanks Dani...
A beautiful view...
I'll bet you & Li will really enjoy it.
Merry Christmas to both of you my friend!

Hi, Misha !


Thank you so much
for your most kind words
truly much appreciated !
I can tell you that we did not
have the time for sunbathing
at all this time due to all
running around finalizing our buy !

Maybe next time ??

Have a most Merry X-mas and
a most Happy New Year !

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Greg !

Thank you for your most
kind words ! Real Estate Prices
are lower than up here in
Scandinavia - don´t know
what the general price is
it depends on facts like
place, size, condition etc.
Older flats use to go
furnitured and so in our
case too !

Have yourself a most Merry X-mas
and may the oncoming New Year
become one of your best !

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Noel !

Thank you so very much
for your most kind words !
The picture is (was) from
the attico of MARIANICO yes !

Mi and Li hope that you also
will have a most Merry Christmas
and a Wonderful New Year !

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Stefan !:))

I do thank you so much
for your most kind
assessment truly
much appreciated !
You are probably right -
Spain can be both hot and cold
depending on the time
you are down there but
on the other hand it´ll never
get as cold as up here North !

A most Merry Xmas to you
and a New Happy Year with
new possibilities !

Cheers
Dani

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Janice & Bud !:)))

Much obliged by your more
than kind words ! Yes it
really is a most wonderful
place !:)) I do wish you

and a Wonderful New Musical
Year 2020 !

Cheers

What a pleasant frolicking song! Very pleasant like I imagine your Mediterranean flat to be.

Cool Dani. Loved the chord changes. Super vocal.

Very good happy energy comes through on this Dani- excellent vocal and harmonies, of course.
That sea is a lovely shade of blue!

Robert

Hi, Jim !


So nice that you liked the
view ! Now, you should also

Happy New Year too !

Dani

Hi, Scott !:))


Marianico holds
it all for us
two pensioners as
an ideal summer place
you can go to most of
the year except when
it is hottest during
summertime - then our
Scandinavian summers are
absolutely marvelous !

your most kind words !
....and have yourself a
Merry little Christmas
and a Happy New Year too!

Very nice Dani!! What beautiful imagery this tune brings to the minds eye! Love all those wonderful chord changes and melody! Excellent work on those vocals! Thanks, Torrey

Sounds great my friend!

Everything is super on this one! It sounds like you have found your paradise.

I hope this is the start of more songs from you.

Congratulation Dani & Li on two items:

1: The Marianco song - excellent

2: The new Investment - excellent.

I really believe that your vocal delivery is some of the best you've done.

And I like the way you sneaked 'Surfin' into the lyrics.

Nice!

Trev

Hi Dani,

Very nice song you made. Almost feel the sun.
I bet it is located somewhere in Andalusia. Always beautiful overthere.
Within a month we go to Malaga, so I be around!

But did you record this in your apartment overthere? No neighbours yelling?

Hans

Nicely arranged an amazing changes!

Mario, ol´chum !:))

You´ve always been so kind
to me and so you are with this
tune also !

I wish you could come over and
meet us down in Spain !

My greatest thanks to you

regarding MARIANICO !

Me and Li will be happy there
I´m sure !

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Hans !

Very many thanks for
your most kind
words ! About the
location, well, MARIANICO
is not in Andalusia it

so to speak !;-)...and
no, this was recorded in
my room here in Helsinki,
but I could have sung it down
in Spain too as my neighbours
are not too close !:))
