Hello, folks!

I've seen a bunch of new songs being posted here - and haven't had the time to listen to any of them. I hope I can catch up soon.

Anyway, here is a new one from myself. It is actually an old song, but Mimmo and I haven't been lucky in finding collaborators. Finally John added some nice drums, and Enrico played the violin for us. All the rest was done in the box,

I had big troubles with the drums because I did not have the seps, just a pre-mixed stereo file that did not sound great. But I bought a couple of great tools recently that finally enabled me to fix that problem.

Composed, arranged & mixed by Steffen Offermann

NOI DUE

Ogni sera qui, io e te insieme
E tu mi dici ch'e cosi, si tu mi vuoi bene
Quando apro gli occhi io vedo te
E vero non e un sogno
Tu sei qui con me, sei qui con me

Sento la tua voce e vedo il tuo sorriso
Ti accarezzo e poi ti stringo stretta a me vicino
Nei tuoi capelli lunghi si portano le mani
E tutto il resto ormai e gia cosi lontano
Cosi lontano e tu losai,

Si e lontano, cosi lontano
Son grandi I sentimenti amore mio
È grande questo amore che ho dentro io

Sulla sabbia sei con me
E prendi la mia mano
Insieme caro amore mio
Stanotte resteremo
Io guardo nei tuoi occhi che
Si mutano in coralli
Mentre intorno a noi sorvolan le farfalle

La spiaggia e gia deserta, soli io e te
Prendi la mia mano e guarda, caro amore mio
Scende il buio piano il sole se ne va
Nell'aqua vedo c'e la luna si riflette gia
Guardo nei tuoi occhi e poi

Sulla sabbia sei con me
E prendi la mia mano
Insieme caro amore mio
Stanotte resteremo
Io guardo nei tuoi occhi
Che si mutano in coralli
Mentre intorno a noi sorvolan le farfalle

Ti amo ogni giorno ancora piu
e ti cerco quando sei lontano tu
ti prego stammi qui vicino caro amore mio
la tua mano nella mia
resta qui con me

Sulla sabbia sei con me
E prendi la mia mano
Insieme caro amore mio
Stanotte resteremo
Io guardo nei tuoi occhi
Che si mutano in coralli
Mentre intorno a noi sorvolan le farfalle

A lungo noi cosi restiamo
E il nostro amore cresce piano
E piano stringo la tua mano cosi

Regards,

Very good recording here.  Everything sounds good how it all hangs together.  Its nice hearing a lyric in Italian.  What can I say, very pro recording.

Thanks, Dave, glad you like it! :)

Working with Mimmo is always a pleasure. I have one more Italian song with him on the shelve that I would like to finish. But we need at least an acoustic guitar picker to help us.

It's actually the very first song we ever did together. I think it was started in 2006 or 2007. About time to get it done, isn't it? :)

Pretty song Steffen. Great vox, keyboards, melody, and well, the whole thing really is an enjoyable listen.
Sounds like a professional job.

Like Rob said, well put together and pro production.

Loved the singing and lyrics by Domenico, too!

HI STOMAN glad i caught this . really enjoyed the over all sound
mimmo did a superb job as usual in vocals. and the keys were
well played and fit right to the lyrics. tight production deserves
a bump to the top . best regards NEIL

Hi Steffan your normal high standard and there's something about the Italian language that lends itself to vocals. Winning combination. Love it..................Willie

Thanks everybody for listening and leaving nice comments! :)

Well, I must admit that this song does not seem to be many people's cup of tea. I don't know if it is because of the sound (I mentioned the problems with the poorly pre-mixed drums) or the song itself. I actually do like the melody and the performances, which makes me overhear some of the sonic issues ...

Anyway, I'm glad some of you like the song! :)

BTW, I replaced the original mix/master with a slightly modified mix. The mastering is completely new.

Regards,
  Steffen

Steffen... thought I had commented on this one already. Man... this deserves way more comments. Give it some time... I'm sure all of the songcrafters will chime in soon enough. Personally I love your music. Very uplifting... and soooo well produced. Your a true craftsman bro. Thanks for sharing.
