About this album

  • Updated: 09/05/2008

 

This album is a collection of Christmas songs from my back catalogue.

 

Christmas Visit is from 2004, and is about a young man who is welcoming to an old man on Christmas Eve. The old man, of course, is Santa, and he rewards this kindness by making Christmas Day the best ever. I'm overjoyed with how this song turned out, as at the time, I hadn't written any 'songs' before. I had mainly just done instrumentals. Possibly I peaked too early, who knows?

 

Candle in the Window is from 2006, and is a bit of a mickey-take of Candle in the Wind. It's supposed to be about a guy who has loved and lost, and hence is lonely at Christmas. However, you'll notice that a lot of the lyrics are clear references to Diana, Princess of Wales. It's not my best effort, but the production is good, so I've released it to the world.

 

Feasting from the Van of Life is an instrumental from 2004. I wrote it just because I had recording time to use up, and gave it a bit of a Christmasy feel. I thought I'd add it in, if anything, just to make the album longer. The Van of Life is a bit of an inside joke. If you do fancy visiting the Van of Life, it's a kebab van located in the centre of Cambridge.

This was homely and comforting, loving and sincere. And meaningful sweet and inviting. Giving me the true spirit of Christmas filled with joy, happiness and fun filled delights of meaningful friendship and family and great freinds as well on this planet called earth. Makes you also feel humble, nice and warm.. And puts a massive smile on your face as well. As you feel the love vibe and Christmas spirit take you over..

When I first read the genre, I thought it was going to funny. I was in for a surprise. It brings out a good vibe about christmas in all of your songs. In your last song that you have I like how the electric guitar is playing (I hope its electric). It reminds of a buddy back home that just rocks out on his electric guitar.

Schöne ruhige Musik, die man sich gut anhören kann. Wenn der Sänger jetzt noch die Töne etwas besser treffen würde, kann da echt noch etwas daraus werden.

Great music. I listened to all three tracks and liked them all. Any chance you could upload any of your other instrumental stuff? I would definitely listen.

It has a certain soothing Christmas feel to it. It had that pure, innocent Christmas feel to it. It had some sort of childish feel about it, and I mean that in a good way. I was expecting something comedic when I listened to the album, but it was a nice alternative.
