....and here are the lyrics:


THE FINAL RIDE / Music and Lyrics by Norman Wibe

1. Verse:


Hi, guys , weather´s so nice
and the surf´s on the rise
grab your boards, run to the ocean side
for a final ride
just can´t hide
the tears in my eyes

2. Verse


It´s been so great,
you know that everything nice
has to come to an end
yes we have to leave
that´ll be our impending fate
so don´t be late
don´t be late
for the final bend

Ref:


Let´s go surfin´
a final time
surf right soon
mornin´till noon
it´s been a great, great time
yeah, it´s been a great great time
oh what fun
we have to ride those waves
in the sun in the hot shinin´sun
gettin´all the copper bronze tan
copper bronze tan

3. Verse

You know we´ve been right here
Yes, we´ve been right here
all summer long
and now when we´re finally gettin´
rid of the foam
home sweet home
time to leave this bay
singin´along

Let´s go surfin´
a final time
surf right soon
mornin´till noon
it´s been a great, great time
yeah, it´s been a great great time
oh what fun
we have to ride those waves
in the sun in the hot shinin´sun
gettin´all that copper bronze tan
copper bronze tan

4. Verse / end

Yes I´m sorry to say
but season´s finally over
for the rest of the year
it leaves us dreamin´
dreamin´for another return
turn til next turn
well have to live with all those sweet
memories to share, we´ll have to live
with all those sweet memories to share

Recorded with mixcraft 8 pro on
my lenovo laptop - compressor and
reverb used !

Cheers
Dani

Dani,

I remember that you are a big Beach Boys fan. This has captured that vibe very nicely. Good job, my friend.

Li is a very beautiful lady, BTW.

Very nice, Dani. Always enjoy your surf tunes.
The title (not the song itself) reminded me of a song called 'His Last Summer' by the Barracudas (an English garage/surf rock band). A surf music enthusiast like yourself might enjoy their slightly off-beat take on the genre. Take care on your travels.
Regards,
Leon

Hi, Donny !

Yeah ! a BIG BB - fan is what I am
and have always been ! Brian Wilson
and Burt Bacharach, my two greatest
idols when it comes to making wonderful
music ! Naturally there are others too
but these two are up front !

I thank you for taking time to listen
to this surf tune of mine and to
give me such nice and kind comments !

And, Donny, I share your kind opinion
about Li !:))

Stay Safe and Take Care !

Cheers
Dani

Dani, we've often mentioned our admiration of Brian Wilson's vocal arrangements.

Since the Beach Boys have dissolved into nothing but a cantankerous Mike Love smile it is
great to hear some great music of the time.

You do it so well!

My good Bud and Janice !

You are right in thinking
that that name for the
band belongs to Mike but
the music that lifted them
up to glory came from Brian
the true genius of the original
Beach Boys ! :))

I am truly glad for your
most kind words, thank you !

Cheers

Hi, Floyd !


Thank you for your

than the original !

I am most unsure about the trip
today but, who knows ?

Hi Dani ...

You always excel with these surf songs. Who needs the Beach Boys when we have Dani??!! A real nice throwback in time. When my brother, Ronnie, got out of the Army back in 1963, he and I took an entire summer together and just road around the US Midwest, listening to top 40 rock on the car radio. Ronnie (he passed away in July of 2019), had a marvelous voice and could sing almost any song in any key, always sang along with the radio. We spent $2,000.00 and three months doing nothing but that. Your song reminded me of that, as there so many Beach Boy songs being played at that time. It was a happy memory, but yet brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for bringing that wonderful memory to me.

Good luck in Spain. Ands we would never forget you!

Alan

Hi, Al & Di !:))

My good fellas
you make me feel
most humbled by
your most kind words !

To me it is more than
honor to even be mentioned
in the same sentence as
The Beach Boys !

I don´t even have the means
nor the ability to produce
anything even remotely
reminding of my great idols
but, Al& Di, you know that
I like to make tunes in that
style as Band In A Box makes
it so much easier to play around !

Thank you both ! May everything good
come your way !

Cheers
Dani

Another surf-song masterpiece from Dani. Great vocal (more like Jan and Dean to me than the Beach Boys) and mix.

Keep hangin' ten my friend!

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."
