#244627 - 03/18/14 05:26 PM [User Showcase] What Is Love ?
Registered: 03/02/13 Posts: 4342 Loc: Helsinki, Finland dani48 Veteran Registered: 03/02/13 Posts: 4342 Loc: Helsinki, Finland	Hi, friends ! I bring you a tune from my 1992 record. The song is named "What Is Love?" after I had pondered quite a while on the subject ! The original is in Swedish and I post both tracks here for comparison ! Style: CFPBTSw.STY (Slow Country Waltz 2 fingerpicking guitars (RS 85) Instruments used: Bass: 1122 Ac bass Country Waltz (CW) Piano: 1127 Pedal Steel Rhytm (CW) Drums: Realdrums Nash Classic Waltz Sw 1 HHSdST RDSn Guitar: 2054 Guitar AC fingerpicking (CW) Strings: 826 Guitar AC fingerpicking (CW) Soloist: 51 Synth Strings 1 Recorded and mixed with Mixcraft 6 Vocal recorded thru zoom H4n The version with me and the guitar: http://app.box.com/s/52yq2nfn0olbtn15k6nt The Newer version (with BIAB backing) http://app.box.com/s/9ra2xwnw3daum9zenz87 Twenty years between these versions ! Cheers Dani The Lyrics (free translation from the Swedish original): WHAT IS LOVE? (Free translation from the original version VAD ÄR KÄRLEK by Dani) Love is so red, red as a flower, a rose so sweet Love is so blue, blue as the sky and the bluebells too Love is the feeling you´ll have as you lay in the field and the sun shines so warm up above Love is so free, free as the shriek from a gull in flight Love is a song, rising so sweet t´wards the endless sky Love is the feeling of joy, that you´ll have on return to discover the lights are all on, back home Love is having a good friend who´ll be true till the end and when you´re in need, puts his arm around you, making you feel warm inside yes, so warm there inside Love can be blind, blind as a flake in a winter wind Love can be deaf, deaf as the bare trees without no leaves Love is the gift that was yours, to be able to choose, to be able to tell right from wrong solo Love is to aid, aiding someone who just needs a hand Love is so sweet, sweet as the sweetest of summer times Love is a hair turning gray, to be able to share everything with the one who´s so dear Yes that is love, that is love, yes that is love !!! © Dani Lindroos 1992 Edited by dani48 (03/19/14 04:37 AM)

I think it is because I can just listen to your voice and not even worry about the words. I just drown myself in that. _________________________ Quickly and easily generate lyrics for your next song Browser: https://lyriclab.net/ IOS App: https://apple.co/409d4pm Android App: https://bit.ly/3JhdMtF

You are just too kind !:)) I have to admit that my voice has come down considerably since 92 and the 92 version is also recorded in a pro studio. It is funny, but I remember it was a one direct take !:)) Cheers Dani

I do agree with you that it may be a better version, but as I had to involve BIAB, I felt I had to redo the tune and try to convey the lyrics if not exactly as the original but quite close and naturally not rhyming !:)) Cheers

I think it translated well into English, other than the word "shriek" which may be too harsh. Beautiful and thoughtful song!! My grandfather was a full-blooded Swede. I would love to see Sweden someday. Take care and keep posting! Greg

It was neat listening to the Swedish version -- w/o a vocal I was completely focused on the vocal and melody. Really beautiful. Thanks for sharing. _________________________ J&B Videos J&B Soundcloud J&B Website

Is it possible that singing in a different language changes the way a voice sounds? Beautiful sounds, sentiments. Dean

It may depend on different pronounciation, vowels and generally different sound of the language (and probably on other matters also) ? Cheers Dani
