Hi, friends !

Winter came at last
also to us up here in the North !
Had me write this little tune
as the snowflakes fell !

Here are the links:

http://soundcloud.com/user-337827005/winter-came-at-last

http://app.box.com/s/mnzeokovlpt3itvbp5w262suyqyegqr6

the Style is POP_SADE.STY and the
instros are:
Synbass: GM2 39/1 Synth Bass Warm
Elec Piano: 5 El piano
Drums: RD:s Rock Lite Even
Guitar: 28 Clean Electric
Voice OOhs 1: GM" 54/1 Humming
Voice OOhs 2: 54 Voice OOhs

...and here are the lyrics:

Winter Came At Last ( Words and Music by Norman Wibe)

Snowflakes, snowflakes, whirlin´all around me
paintin´everythin´in white
chills my sole
but warms my soul
I´ve been waitin´for your light

Snowflakes, snowflakes, driftin´everywhere
showin´off their awesome might
from here to pole
you make us whole
fill our hearts with endless joy,
just enjoy,
it feels so right

Darlin´ let´s go for a ride
Here, come by my side
we´ll fly, into the snow
so let me guide you
let´s make our ride to
a magic place that only
we know about !

Snowflakes, snowflakes, how I longed for you
all my prayers are fulfilled !
so let it stay
from now till May
and let us ski so far away

Darlin´ let´s go for a ride
Here, come by my side
we´ll fly, into the snow
so let me guide you
let´s make our ride to
a magic place that only
we know about !

Recorded with Mixcraft 8 pro, Rev and Comp used

Dani, this sounds great. The backing tracks are spot on. I liked the chord progression also. The vocal is excellent.

fill our hearts with endless joy,
just enjoy,
Not when I'm shoveling the darn stuff grin

PS - No snow here yet. That is extremely unusual. If this keeps up my show blower will last for years wink

Cool tune Dani. No pun intended. We have been having a very mild winter. We were suppose to be in the -20 C range but has been hovering at 0 C. Still lots of winter left. Happy New Year

I really dig your lower voice - solid and expressive.
Well done.
I thought you might like this hit in Oz in 1965

I really liked this - loved your vocals on it, makes for a fun listen smile Nicely mixed too, and the instrumentation works perfectly with your lower register voice.

Thanks for sharing!

Vocals are so cool on this, Dani. "chills my sole, but warms my soul" We got 15 inches here just before Christmas. Maybe I could get a good deal on Mario's snow blower.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi, Mario !

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

Snow, well, where I lived
before we had such amounts
of snow during winter that
I also found it hard to cope
with but nowadays the winters
up here are so warm that we hardly
get any snow at all, at least down
here in the Southern parts of
Finland !

Where we are on the island we don't really get snow. We had one very light snow fall that washed away in a couple hours and that was it! But back when I was in Ontario things got pretty blanketed. Thanks for the nostalgia and for sharing the song!

Hi Dani ...

Another piece of wonderful music from you. I agree with others that your deeper vocal register is a real treat. Where I currently live, Alabama, snow hardly ever happens. But where I grew up (Missouri) snow is sure to fall at least a few times each year.

Although about the coldest part of the year, your song sent a warm feeling throughout my body.

Di and I hope 20212 is a wonderful year for you and yours.

Not really enough yet but they
have estimated that we can get
some 30 cm down here soon, so....

...need to start waxing my skis....!!

Thank you for your most kind words !
I hope for a change of weather for
you too !!

Hi Dany,

I did not know you and I am pleasantly surprised. It is true that I am the people who come to my compositions.

I'm more a spring person, but your warm voice and summery instrumentation make me feel comfortable in the middle of these cold days and snowy roads. The chord progression has enjoyable classic Christmas time mood.

Your song (instrumentation and composition) evokes a winter feel---like gliding along in a sleigh.

I lived for many years in Michigan's Upper Peninsula where there was no shortage of snow and there were an abundance of people with Finnish ancestry.

I enjoyed your song!

Hi Dani
Lovely composition and enjoyed the vocal in your lower register. Despite the winter theme, the harmonies gave me a little bit of a Pet Sounds vibe.

Hi, Leon !


Your reference to Pet Sounds
is indeed very interesting
but I guess you got that
impression from the odd
chord progressions ?

In any case, I do not
come close to master Brian
who is a magician when it comes
to creating super tunes !
I do, my friend,feel
much obliged to you

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
