My, friends !

I must confess that
the reason for my absence
has been mostly due to
deterioriating voice and
power, something that probably
comes with aging ! A time ago
I also suffered a severe infection of
my throat, which took away my
singing voice and capability to
control it completely. I have
fought to be able to post this
song and though I could not do it
the way I wanted I think it is
acceptable for posting ! Please
forgive me for having been away but
I am sure you can understand the
frustration this has posed on me.

Here are the lyrics:

COULDN´T SING ( MUSIC AND WORDS BY NORMAN WIBE)

Hi, friends, some time ago
I couldn´t sing at all
´cause I lost my voice
only noise
you could hear
comin´out of my mouth
I was frightened and full of fear
thought this was, the end of song
my comfort for so long
did not seem a way out, so
I left it all behind

Don´t know what brought it on
it surely brought me down
hadn´t it been for you
I would still be blue
though I´m here, recov´rin´
I owe you everythin´
please my darlin´ sweetheart Li
won´t you come to me
so I can bring you all my love
for being more than kind (to me)

I love you always day and night
you make my heart so light
you´re like a shinin´star
shinin´bright and far

Don´t know what brought this on
it surely brought me down
hadn´t it been for you
I would still be blue
though I´m here, recov´rin´
I owe you everythin´
please my darlin´ sweetheart Li
won´t you come to me
so I can bring you all my love
for being more than kind (to me)
My Love

A beautiful song with a lovely melodic tune. I hope you get your voice back in due course as it's a very fine tenor voice.

What a gorgeous tune, Dani smile Even if your vocal delivery isn't up to what you consider your standards, it manages gives it an eary and unique quality that I absolutely love. Most aren't very familiar with the artist - but you remind me of Sparklehorse a bit here.

Thanks so much for sharing! Also, the fact you're not giving up even after having lost your voice is inspiring smile


Cheers,
Deryk

It's definitely beautiful! Lovely harmonies.
Sorry to hear about your health problems, but in this song you still sound great, and vulnerable too, which gives this song a beautiful touch.

Hi, Deryk !

Thank you for your
most kind comments !
This may sound okay
but in reality I´ve
put down extremely
much work just to be
able to show that I´m
still "true to the cause
and this site" !

I also want to thank you
for your kind well wishes
I do not want to give up
but if the downhill continues
I am not sure what I can do.

I have written pieces I cannot perform
at least the way they should !

Cheers
Dani

Dani,

A very cool sound on this. Your voice is the main instrument in this - sounds great. Beautiful melody.

The strings work great. The guitar, too!

Smooth. A good listen. Keep at it, buddy...

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Dear "dani48"...

Emotions are feelings, and vice-versa. The sound of those feelings could range from a whimper to a shout, but what penetrates the listener is the feeling within the sound.

Far as I'm concerned, you could have hummed, or whistled, even, the melody to Mr. Wibes lovely, wistful song, and no one within range of hearing it would be able deny the effect it had on their hearts. Your warm vocal harmonies infuse sweetness into the semi-bitter lyrics.

Whatever problems you believe are affecting your singing voice are more than resolved by the obviously direct pipeline that exists between your heart and the way you express what's in it. Nonetheless, I hope that you find relief from whatever is ailing you, and soon.

"bluage" (a.k.a. Loren)

P.S. The photo of you and your partner on the song's SoundCloud page is worthy of a song in itself!

Hi Dani.

Beautiful.

It may not have your usual power, but for this song it doesn't suffer at all from that.

You voice lends a lilting and magical quality to the whole thing and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Whatever you do, don't give up - we need you here!

Cheers, ROG.

Welcome back Dani

I think your voice is fine, maybe you are being too critical of yourself.

Another very beautiful melody, thoroughly enjoyable.

Thank you David
for your compassionate
and kind words ! One
can always hope, but
after having listened to
Brian Wilson over in Pori
recently I understand that
our voices just weakens over
time, that is a natural
thing but very hard to
accept for a person who has
been " living on his singing
voice" !

Cheers
Dani
