Hi, friends !

I have been fighting with this
surf tune (especially to find the right
key ) but I had decided that
I´ll sing all the vocals not using
the Daniettes (read: vocal aahs)
With this song I wish you all a most
Merry Christmas and a Happier New Coronafree Year 2021 !

The Lyrics:

BIG SURF BAY (Music and Words by Norman Wibe)


I must confess I´m a surfin´man
I belong to the beach
ridin´ surfin´those waves far out of reach
I gotta go again, my dear
with or without any hair
been dried up for just too long
oh so long

I think I´ve lost my surfin´skills
forgettin´those wonderful thrills
gotta move, move again for the waves
I do regret I dropped the surf
I´ve been stupid and dumb
so please forgive me
and raise your thumb

I wanna go and surf along to big surf bay
been my challenge for so very long to surf away
It can´t be wrong to feel this way
so hop along to BIG SURF BAY
to the sun and her golden beams

Why on earth did I leave this style? - missin it so
so for heaven´s sake let us hurry and go !!
I feel the urge from top til toe
surfin´feelin´is on the grow
gotta get there to ride
with you by my side

Solo

I wanna go and surf along to big surf bay
been my challenge for so very long to surf away
It can´t be wrong to feel this way
so hop along to BIG SURF BAY
to the sun and her golden beams

I wanna go and surf along to big surf bay
been my challenge for so very long to surf away
It can´t be wrong to feel this way
so hop along to BIG SURF BAY
to the sun and her golden beams
to the sun and her golden beams

Great set of lyrics and song style Dani.

Perhaps consider bringing your vocals more to the front, or perhaps push the drums a little further back. The drums are a little dominant, to my thinking anyway.

You captured a really good Beach Boys feel.

Have a great Christmas.

Hi, Trevor !

Tried to do as you wished
don´t know if it helped !
thank you for your supportive
comment and great Christmas to
you too !

Cheers
Dani

Dani,

Good job of capturing that Surf Sound, again.

Nice vocals and harmonies. The slide solo is an interesting addition to the genre...

Happy Holidays to you and yours...

Hi, Floyd !


Thank you so much
for your most kind
words !

your own too a most
Merry Christmas and

2021 !

Cheers
Dani

Dani,
This is very well arranged and performed.
The only element that doesn't work for me is the solo guitar - it's too grainy and aggressive for the rest of the song and genre. There's plenty of spring style reverb but too much drive/crunch for my ears.
Fabulous vocal performance.

Hi, Ray !:))

I´m afraid you are right
but I could not change anything
because I lost the original SGU file
but, my friend, I think we are all in
for a Most Merry Christmas and
a Most Happy New Coronafree Year 2021 !

Stay safe and take care !

Cheers
Dani

Good to hear that surf harmony again!

Have a great and safe Christmas!

J&B

Sounds really good, and I like the lyrics

Hi, Bud & Janice !:))

Thank you so much for
your most kind and supportive
words really much appreciated !

A most Marry Christmas and a Happy
New Coronafree Year to you too !

Cheers
Dani

You've created quite the nostalgic sound with your BIAB instrumentation and vocalizations. I've got my swim trunks and I'm ready to wade in to the surf.

Great job, enjoyed everything about it. Had me tapping my feet.

Another lovely tune from the forum Surf music king! You do the so well Dani! Loved the melody and chord structure! Background vocals sounded nice also! T

This had such a lovely summery feel to it! Awesome use of the style. Thanks for sharing!
