about

I decided last minute (yesterday) that instead of finishing my song for this week - I had to do a Christmas song. "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" has always been a fav. I re-wrote the lyrics (which somewhat counts for a new song right?) and started bashing it about on the piano. At midnight I had a working version but was bored to tears with it. So instead of sleep, I decided to start playing with a toy piano I got this month. Recorded that with my new lyrics and started layering a mess of Glockenspiel, Celeste, Harpsichord, Rhodes, church bell samples, etc. Suddenly at 4am I was messing with wind-up toy samples and footsteps in the snow. By the early morning I also I had a new song called "Christmas in LA" which got shortened and tagged on at the end for kicks (and to count for a "real" new song this week). Hope you enjoy! Happy Christmas!

lyrics

God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember well the innocence
you light on Christmas Day
To pull you from the wreckage
when your heart has gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy

In darkest hour and poorest health
that blessed thought was born
And will not rest within your chest
Upon this blessed morn
For which the world brings peace and light
and leaves nothing for scorn
O tidings of comfort and joy

And from the start you knew the hour
the blessed angel came
to lead unto a certain death
these tethers of your shame
For you carried the answer
When you thought you lost the way
O tidings of comfort and joy


And all the mom and dads
are running through the rain
It's Christmas time
It's Christmas in LA

And all your friends
and all your flames
are calling up to say
It's Christmas time today
tt's Christmas time again
It's Christmas in LA
