Hi, friends !

grown exponentially (lol) !:)) ....and now I am about
to add to that.....(another lol) !!

This tune is a jazztune born out of the cold
winter weather over here. It just got me
in a winter state of mind !:))

WINTER STATE OF MIND (by Dani)

Bluer than blue, I sit alone here without you
looking out of my window, still
snow keeps piling up out on the sill
thinking of you, my love
and how you fare up on the clouds above
thinking thoughts of another kind
I´m in a winter state of ………
I´m in a winter state of mind
I´m in a winter state of mind


Outside it is cold, far below zero c I´m told
I will stay inside my room and hide
all in vain from all the pain
No cure in sight, but let us hope it goes allright
thinking thoughts of another kind
I´m in a winter state of ………
I´m in a winter state of mind
I´m in a winter state of mind

solo

Bluer than blue, I sit alone here without you
looking out of my window, still
snow keeps piling up out on the sill
thinking of you, my love
and how you fare up on the clouds above
thinking thoughts of another kind
I´m in a winter state of ………
I´m in a winter state of mind
I´m in a winter state of mind

Cheers

Dani, good song. I think this is one of your best. Great mix and I love the vocal. When you hit those low notes I feel it all the way down to my toes!

Josie

I am very glad you liked this little
jazzy tune ! I was left with the need

around in the lounge !!(lol) !

Cheers
Dani

I LOVE the title.
really very "cool" track".
Great singing and what about that guitar solo?! Well Chilled Out, Dean.
(We have managed to avoid ANY snow this year so far. OMG - what HAVE I said!!??)

Another good one Dani. Very smooth. Guitar was nice as well

Thanks Dani for sharing. Another great one. Beautiful lyrics and melody. I really hope songwriting is providing you with the relaxation and comfort that you need.
Kind regards
Trevor

Thank you Floyd
for your kind comments !:))
I have been playing guitar
for a good time but I have
not dug into the chords
like I´ve done now with BIAB !
It is a great learning tool
as well !:))


Cheers
Dani

Hi Dani,

very interesting chord progression
and very well sung.
I can't help: for me the guitar solo
is totally out of tune. On purpose?

Guenter

Hi, Ian !:))


Glad you found this little tune
cool as the title ! (lol) !
After all it is winter in earnest
over here too !:))

Cheers
Dani

Hi, Scott !

Thank you for your most kind
comment !:))

Cheers
Dani

Thank you Trevor for your
most kind words ! You are right,
writing, or rather playing around
with chords trying to construct
something rational has really
helped me back on track again !:))


Cheers
Dani

Hi Dani...

This is a great tune! So soft and mellow. It reminds me of something Mel Torme might have written and recorded. All the instruments are so mellow and laid back. And your voice is perfect for this ... exceptionally good! We're still smiling a while after we listened. Very, very nice! Thanks for a super nice listen.

Al & Di

We forgot to acknowledge Dean. We're so sorry for that. Both of you deserve the accolades. Dean, we appreciate the hard work and talent you put into this, too! This is a great song!

Al & Di

Vocal is very personel sounding, great work mix sounds great. Great collab work, thanks for sharing!

Hi, Al & Di !:))

You are most kind !
Good if I could make you
smile despite my winter
state of mind ? (lol) !


Cheers
Dani

Hi, Al & Di !

Dean is a fantastic guitar player,
IMO one of the best ever ! I am sure
he´ll appreciate your recognition very much !:))

Cheers
Dani

hi dani nice job i like this very much nice vocal lyrics, mix, keep them coming really enjoyed nice jazz tune thanks eric

Guenter you rascal !!!

You just had to notice my electric 12-string out of tune. Well, there's a perfectly sound explanation for that:

.....''''''''.....'.................................It IS out of tune!!

because the strings (2 x 0.08 to 2 X ?) are shot and the last time I tried to re-string it myself I wound up cutting my fingers to ribbons with the ends of the strings.

Maybe I can talk Dani into reposting after I freshen the thing up?

However, thanks for the instructive comment - the Forum can always use more of these, because in the end they lead to improvement.

Dean

Hi, Robert !

I am so glad you liked this
tune ! :))Thank you for your
warm words !

Cheers
Dani
