Dani,
Okay, you need to make up your mind if you want to be Burt or Brian! Great Beach Boys harmonies. The only nit pick I have is that I think you need to tighten up the harmonies just a bit, rhythmically. I don't know what DAW you are using, but it's not that hard to do with a little cutting and nudging.
I particularly like the acapella ending. Very beautiful song, with nice progressions as usual. I can feel the heart-felt sentiments in your vocals. I pray that you are comforted in singing it. Thanks for sharing this one.

Hi, Bob !
You are all too kind with this
old surf music digger, but you
know I do appreciate your most kind
words truly much !:)))
You know that this is improvisation
all through, so it can be and is
somewhat inconsistent at times !:))
Cheers
Dani

I like the Beach Boys style, and you are almost there ... I think the lead vocal should be pushed out in front more so there are more clarity to the lyric. It is hard to make out the lyric. Otherwise nice !

Hi, Elliott !
Thanks for your kind and constructive
comments. I will see what i can do to the lead !:))
I think I perhaps did a mistake when panning the voices
left / right ! Not sure ?
Cheers
Dani

Hi, Tommy !:)) LOL !
Thank you for your most kind comment !:))
Me from California ? (lol)
That might be fun, but I guess I am
deeply rooted in my SuecoNorwegian
culture !!(lol) !! BB have always been
my favorites and we used to sing those
wonderful tunes ( to be honest, quite
a long time ago) Nowadays the singers and
their voices have more or less
disappeared so I guess this is a bit
nostalgic ?
Cheers
Dani

Dear Guenter !:))
Thank you for your kindness !
You are right, my friend ! I ment too old
to be able to do this as it is difficult
to sing and close to my upper limitations ! (lol) !
I know that you Guenter is very, very fond
of harmonies, so I guess the ending was a
bit surprising ? (lol) !!:))
Cheers
Dani

We love your productions and, hey, I rode around in high school with a surfboard on the car, bleached hair and dimes (1964) in my pocket to play Beach Boy songs at the hamburger joint. Yeah, I like BB style songs!
And I'm sure she will always live in your heart.

Hi Dani! I enjoyed the version with the enhanced lead most. Could make out the lyrics better. Loved the harmonies and the sentiment. Cheers.

Very pretty, Dani! The harmonies a re great. As everyone has said, a great Beach Boys sound! I think it would be good to bring the lead vocal a little more forward in the mix.
That was real nice listen...loved it!

Dani,
A pretty song. The "enhanced" one is preferred, I think. The piano needs to come up some to be more a part of the mix - it's almost buried - let it sound like a piano... drums are pretty "soft", too.
The harmonies are sweet. When it started, I thought you were about to break into "Surfer Girl"..

Hi, Janice & Bud !:))
You are all too nice, but I do thank you
for your kind comments, always so nice !:))
...and Bud, that would be pure nostalgia wouldn´t it ? (lol) !!
I can recall I had a pair of wranglers for at least
three decades full of patches sawn to them by my dear wife !!
In the end, they were so full of patches that
you could barely see the original clothing anywhere (chuckle) !:))
Finally I had to dispose of them as they just disintegrated
when you took them in your hands !!:))
Cheers
Dani
