Description I've always wanted to write a Christmas Song - so here it is. I realise it's a bit early but I had to post it.
Maybe I'll post it again at Christmas time.

For my American friends for 'Sweets' read 'Candy' and for 'Buscuits' read 'Cookies'.

Hope you enjoy.

Thanks to The Freesound Project for the 'Brahms Lullaby' and 'scratch' samples.
Lyrics Wonderful Life on the TV
And a Baby on my Knee
Well That's Christmas
That's Christmas

Turkey the Breast
I'm Gonna Leave all the Rest
Well That's Christmas
That's Christmas

Rain and Snow
Sleet and Slush
That's Christmas
That's Christmas

Pubs Closed and Cinemas too
Not a Lot Really to Do
Well That's Christmas
That's Christmas

Lots of Sweets and Biscuits Galore
Asleep in the Chair, Fart and Snore
Well That's Christmas
That's Christmas

All in All Said and Done
It Ain't That Much Fun
Well That's Christmas
That's Christmas

When It's Time To Start Stringing Lights On Palm Trees
...I'll sing this to the wife and kids. Might add a few lines of my own about the heat and mosquitoes, but they'll get a kick out of it when daddy says "fart".

That's Christmas.

Thanks Len.

lengold said 459 days ago
I hate
mosquitos - been toying with the idea of doing a song about them. That's a great idea Bob, if everyone substituted their own words for how Christmas is for them. Merry Christmas.
Cheers

Fart And Snore
...that's Christmas! Love this tune, Len... Christmas tunes always sound better off-season anyway - you're not being crushed to the wall 24-7 with them everywhere. (Try listening to Rudolph The Red-Nosed Raindeer in August... it's a whole new tune!)

This is a lot of fun. Thanks for getting pre-seasonal on us!

lengold said 459 days ago
Really
glad you enjoyed this Rik. Thanks for your comments.
Merry Christmas.

Goth xmas
hey - this is a musically dark song, with a really 'real' lyric. This is mad, but i love it... should be the xmas no.1.

You are a true original, Len!

lengold said 459 days ago
You are supposed to be on holiday!
Thanks a million Steve. I keep trying to write poetic stuff but simply can't, it is just not within me.
Do they still have xmas no 1's? Maybe I could be the next Cliff Richard (although I can't imagine him farting).
Merry Christmas Steve.
Cheers

FUNKY X
Len,
Very cool funky X-Mas groove. Not at all what I was expecting afetr the toy piano intro. Gut wrenching sub bass, trippy phased lead axe, and syncopated drums, all very cool.
Must say, you did beat the rush....
Philip

lengold said 458 days ago
Funky X
Thanks Philip - really nice of you to comment and very pleased that you liked it. I have no idea why I had to do this in October, but just had to.
Merry Christmas.

Diviner said 458 days ago
Funny track Len
Too true in most cases. I like the guitar washes and mad effects in the track it really adds a nice touch. This is probably one of the best Christmas tunes I have ever heard esp since it is closer to real life then most. Well done Len.

lengold said 458 days ago
Funny track
Thanks a lot Keith - I start off trying to write something very serious, but for some inexplicable reason they usually turn out like this. But if I give people a chuckle I'm pleased.
Merry Christmas.

This articulates my ambivalent feeling about Christmas perfectly! I'd love to sneak a copy of this into Wal-Mart and play it while people Christmas shop.Great tune!

dope
I love your voice.

said 457 days ago
hmmmm
Rather short comment. I just love your voice, it reminds me of the cherished tho depressing eighties (Cave, Joy Division, Swans). And the cynicism in the song is nice:-). I liked the drums, tho a bit busy at times AND i friggin digged the guitar....MAN! Lushes subtle tweaks in the chords, I digged the guitar and the voice. So....Ha! Short n elaborate

love,

Jb

Thanks Jb, I do tend to go over the top with drums, I just like to layer lots of them to see what happens. Pleased that you enjoyed the rest of it.
Merry Christmas.

Festering festivities
Gee, Len. How can we help? You seem to be a bit negative about the season about to happen at retail centers everywhere. On Christmas Day, take a walk on the spirit side and lift your eyes to the Star of Bethlehem.

Funny song but very serious. Christmas has always been a problem.

lengold said 457 days ago
Festering festivities
Thanks for visiting Richard.
Haven't seen any stars in London for quite a few years too much light pollution and if I go walking about here looking up to the sky I'd be run over.
Merry Christmas.
Cheers
Len



said 456 days ago
walkin about
Well, then. The day must glow from within.

Peter Bauckham said 457 days ago
I too...
hate mosquitos! But enjoyed this 'festive' tune. It is a little bit early to be thinking about Christmas! We normally do a Christmas song but haven't got round to writing it yet - better get my finger out although my Wife wants to do something traditional this year... not sure about that! Great rhythm.

Peter

lengold said 457 days ago
Thanks for
the comment Peter.
Merry Christmas.
Cheers
Len



said 457 days ago
it's a wonderful song
i liked this as soon as i saw the dalmation in the hat.
:)
what a marvelous segue from the delicate start to the hard hitting section. i like how quickly you sang "that's christmas." this made me smile repeatedly, but it's also a kinkily good piece of sound, too. " asleep in the chair ETC.," ah, you've captured it well. quite an interesting vocal delivery with just the right sense of drama. clever ending. bravo, len!
anne

lengold said 457 days ago
It's a wonderful comment
Thank you Anne for such a positive comment.
The dalmatian is my dog Breeze. I love Bob's idea above that people could sing their own ideas of Christmas to it. It would sound very striking with your silky voice on it for instance. Thanks again.
Merry Christmas
Len



guitapick said 456 days ago
Merry Christmas...
...you will HAVE to post this at Christmas...

...Seamless move from intro to the body of the tune. Moves real nice from place to place from there...

"Pubs Closed and Cinemas too
Not a Lot Really to Do
Well That's Christmas
That's Christmas"

..shame...

Hmmm...you should come to New York City some Christmas. I've got some really fine pubs we could visit 24/7, holidays included...

;-)

Cheers, Len...really enjoyed this...

lengold said 456 days ago
I'd love
to come to New York City at Christmas Bob, you've got me thinking now. I suppose the lines about 'Sleet and Snow' are still true though. Maybe Aussie is the place to go (are you there Neil?).
Really pleased you enjoyed this. Thanks for the great comment.
Merry Christmas.
Cheers
Len


said 456 days ago
Man...
...that is one bad-ass bass!

Ha ha...not too early. Inspiration comes when it comes. I posted "Ode To Spring" in the dead of Winter!

Good jaded holiday tune Len. (I feel that way too...)

Be well!

oh what the heck and why not. Fun track. the drums and bass really move this right along like a snow plow. Good one!

lengold said 455 days ago
Checked the calendar
I just checked too - oh no, I've made a terrible mistake.
Thanks for the comments Vic - appreciated.
Merry Christmas.

lengold said 454 days ago
Thanks for
The comment Chris. Funnily enough I did try a harmony - it's something I am trying to learn how to do - but wasn't good enough. Maybe next time.
Thanks again.
Merry Christmas.

paddler said 453 days ago
your
christmas ploy must have subconciously effected me as last night I wished two passing girls in a dark alleyway to a pub merry christmas which was greeted with much mirth.thanks - great song - rg

lengold said 453 days ago
Christmas ploy
I am very pleased that I might have, in some small way, cheered your evening. Who could ask for more?
Merry Christmas.
Cheers

peacepiano said 453 days ago
A little early
:)

Love the beat, fun digs at the big holiday.

Remind us to come back in december, this should be heard over and over the whole month long!!!

Thanks
Bill

lengold said 453 days ago
Thanks for
the visit and commenting Bill - appreciated.
I might redo the vocals (not very happy with them) and re-post in December.
Merry Christmas.
Cheers

thoddi said 452 days ago

I dig the contrast from the light Christmas intro to the groovy drums and bass stuff. Cool guitar playing. The drums was creative and the bass well played along them.

lengold said 452 days ago

that you visited thoddi - thanks a lot for the positive comment - appreciated.

o0o said 389 days ago
A Great concept
and I just love that bass...that lyric and that voice...and a superb beat that guides you...personally I am not so fond of the 'sharp' guitar sound in the beginning...I think it is too loud in the mix....but that is nitpicking...you created an adorable tune! I love how you sing 'that's Christmas"...


Kind regards,

o0o

lengold said 389 days ago
Thanks
for that Djev - very nice of you to comment. I might just re-post this in the next few days. Well, that's Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Cheers

said 355 days ago
Well That's Christmas
You are wonderfully original...and this song is no exception!!! Thanks so much Len... a most wildly enjoyable melody, it really sells the lyrics!!!!!!!!

Best to ya,
Wade

lengold said 355 days ago
I really
appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment Wade. Many thanks.

said 331 days ago
Cool
Great drums... The sound... Your music has a wide, light, sound in it... That's good in my ears... Thumbs up.... And the lead guitar in this song has a cool sound..

listened to this again today - still excellent as ever - and i listened to it at what is probably the wrong time - ? Bloody marvellous - Rich

lengold said 43 days ago
Yeah...
I reckon the best time is October - that's when I start dreading it.
Thanks for the second listen Rich.
