Sorry folks, been so much on the road
- all kind of things interfering with
songwriting but, I managed to write
this little surf tune ( and boy, was it
anything but easy ).

http://soundcloud.com/user-337827005/under-the-surfer-moon-1

http://app.box.com/s/mqfk5qyin4vbrdt415u171whz9seazat


I used the following Style: TEKW10+.STY
and that style included the following
instros:

Synbass: 40 Synbass 2
Elec Piano: 6 elec Piano 2
Drums: Realdrums =Technowildout AB - kick, kick Less
Guitar 1: GM2 28/1 Elguit Detuned Clean
Sweep Pad: 96 Pad Sweep
Guitar 2: 28 Clean El Guit.

Recorded with Mixcraft 7 PRO to my laptop with Stagg mic.

the Lyrics are as follows:

Under The Surfer Moon (Music and words by Norman Wibe)

Let´s fly away my darlin´
fly from the coldest roon
let´s fly away right soon
stay there for all of June
under the surfer moon
we´ll be kissin´each other deeply in love

Let´s go and feel the ocean
ride on the wildest waves
surfin´from dawn till noon
earnin´the greatest voon
under the surfer moon
we´ll be huggin´each other tight in love

Let´s find out what it really means to be
out on the deep blue sea
surfin´in love, together you and me

Let´s fly away my darlin´
fly from the coldest roon
let´s fly away right soon
stay there for all of June
under the surfer moon
we´ll be kissin´each other deeply in love

Let´s find out what it really means to be
out on the deep blue sea
surfin´in love, together you and me

Will you not join me darlin´
let´s hurry far away
we gotta get there fast
summertime there won´t last
then we´ll be under the moon
I´ll be holding you oh so tight in love
in love !

Cheers
Dani

Hi Dani,

You seem to be making a quite home in the surfin' 60s genre these days! Loved the key change. It made me sit up and pay attention because I wasn't expecting it. That was a nice arranging touch indeed.

It's always a pleasure to listen to you sing and hear what you've put together.

All the best to you and Li,
Noel

Hi Dani,

For me your best so far.. I cant believe that standard of harmonies you achieved, excellent.
Having surfed most of my life, it really hit a sweet spot.

You nailed that one, Dani!

The harmonies are perfect!
A very solid BB write - lyric and melody.
Killer melody!

Excellent.

Oh yeah! Another fine one Dani. Somewhere I have a picture of me with my board on top of a VW! Your surf tunes bring back many memories...and you do them so well!

Thanks for the fun.

Hi, Scott !!!:))

I´m truly glad you
liked the vocal harmonies
as they were not easy to do
not in the key I had chosen !
I could have altered the key
but then again I had already
sung the lead parts so.....


Thank you so much for your
very kind words !

Cheers
Dani

What a lovely song, very enjoyable! I always like creamy harmonies so this was a real listening pleasure, especially with the modulations going on in there.

Very, very sweet!! One of your best melodies ever-the Beach Boys would have had a top 10 with this. I see you've left the Loch and gone back to the ocean. Really beautiful Dani!! Take care. Greg

Hi Dani,

Such a nice groove to this!
We like it very much when you sing in a high key, like in this one.
One of your best we think.
