Permalink Quiet Surf Songs -suggestions needed

New Topic
Page 1 of 1

I'm getting solo and band set together, so making a set list: I like the early original surf genre. There are lots of fast songs (good for later in the set but need some slow one's to start out) but trying to track down some slow one's, any suggestions would be a big help

I'm currently doing these slow ones
The Quiet Surf
The Breeze and I
Blue Venus
The Lonely Surfer
Johnny Guitar
Surfers Lament
Sleepwalk
PeacePipe/A Place in the Sun/Wonderful Land (these are not really surf but good slow songs)

'Surf Music Lasts Forever'

Theme from the Endless Summer-The Sandals

If you decide to go modern a great one is
Waves in the Mist by Shoot the Pier URL

Just heard it this morning: Theme for Young Lovers. Lots of Shadows stuff is quiet.

If I'd stop buying old guitars to fix, I might actually learn to play.
Bringing instruments back to life since 2013.

I love the Ventures' version of Sukiyaki. Over the Mountain Across the Sea off that same album is great too.

One more...

Outer Wave by The Sandals

Happy Sunsets!

Surfer's Life by the Blue Stingrays...a real beauty that we play when it's time for a pretty, slow tune.

"Surfside" by The Denvermen


Everybody up!

The Insanitizers' version of this slow song ("And Suddenly You Run") gets a lot of enthusiasm. We enjoy performing it, especially improvising the bridge. Instead of pauses our bassist continues thumping, I like that.

Insanitizers! http://www.insanitizers.com

I like Los Straitjackets "Dreamland".
