This is the first Christmas song that I have written and what I wanted to do was to write a song about a person going home and celebrating Christmas with their family. I wanted something that would get me in the Christmas spirit. Christmas Bells Verse 1 Nothing compares to this time of the year There’s so much love that fills the air It’s been so long and now I’m ready to go Back home where I belong
Verse 2The time away has been a strain for me I’ve missed so much and yes I’ve been so lonely There’s mom and dad and all the family too I can’t wait to see them all again ChorusI want to walk down the streets of my home town See the mangers and the wise men Hear the Christmas bells as they ring out loud See the Christmas lights once again Verse 3
I can just smell all those pies mom will bake And oh the taste of her turkey too And watch her smile when dad steals a kiss or two It’s the joy of the Christmas year Repeat chorusVerse 4
All of this time I have longed for this day Can’t wait to see the smile on their face The joy I feel with all this Christmas cheer I wish would last all year All RealTracks + midi with Tami Long doing all vocals Style - R-Pop16S.sty Drums - JazzFunkPop - Ricky Law Bass - 700 - Tobin Frank Piano - 1276 - Blair Masters Guitar 1 - 1945 - Brent Mason Guitar 2 - 839 - Darin Favorite Pad 1 - 1543 - Blair Masters Pad 2 - 1265 - Blair Masters Pad 3 - 2305 - Ed Clare Pad 4 - 2306 - Ed Claire Pad 5 - 2265 - Miles Black Midi HP AMD Athlon(tm)II B28 processor with 3.4 GHz 16GB ram - Mixcraft 6 DAW with Waves Diamond effects - 32" Westinghouse flat screen monitor - Focusrite Saffire Pro 14 interface - Studio Projects B1 mic - Sony MDR 7506 and Sennheiser HD 202 headphones - 2014 BIAB.

Certainly very, very Christmassy!
Tami's vocals are great
And the pads are all working so well.
Nice job!

Sonny,
Really nice job of creating/capturing that classic Christmas sound! In both the melody and arrangement/production.
Like it was taken right out of a classic Christmas movie. I can see the snow falling and a sleigh - Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney... and a host of carolers....
Nicely done.

Hi Sonny,
beautiful chord progression!
Interesting melody. You really caught
that Christmas feel with your arrangement.
And last but not least the wonderful vocals
and harmonies of Tami.
Mission accomplished.

Hi Sonny,
This is a real Christmas song, like you can hear in movies etc.
Tamy's voice is wonderful and very suitable for this kind of song.
We agree with Floyd about the snow you can almost "hear" falling
Great job!
Rob and Anne-Marie

Very nice. Very authentic to what one expects to hear from the more traditional, movie greats.
This is a good production at every level. Quite a professional result.
You have been more than fortunate with the quality of vocalists available to you. In that, you are in an enviable position.
