Elliot, really nice Christmas tune in a timeless Christmas style. Nice BiaB backing, and I like the breathy passages of the vocalist a lot. The arrangement is superb. I always pay attention to what you are doing in the arrangement because it's the sort of story-in-the-arrangement approach I try to follow, and you do it SO well. Super mix/master, too.
The "I knew that the night" line threw me a little because it seems to be the first part of an unfinished thought not completed by the next section. Probably just me. Still love your song!
Merry Christmas!

Elliott, a rocker with a Christmas theme - brilliant
Those synth vocals were extremely well done
Super groove, instrumentation, and mix
Doc-take it easy John this is just a sharp scalpel. It will not cut deep so don't worry.

Hey there Elliott, so I've been away for a while ... again, and have missed all the Christmas songs. Glad I didn't miss this one, though I realize it's a little late. There's a great feel to this song. Fresh sound and perfectly mixed/produced. Really liked it!

Hi Elliott.
This is a terrific song.
I love lyrics based around a list of "It was..." items related to a particular moment in time.
It was a clever idea and it was used very skillfully by you.
Your arrangement, performance and mix were excellent.
And kudos to you on your expert use of Synth V, too.
Natalie and Solaria were perfect together and you had them singing absolutely delightfully.
All in all, this is one heck of a song.
--Noel

Superb, Elliott. Sure Natalie and crew sound great, and it sure helps when they have such a wonderful song like this to show off. I really like how you seem to keep the taste of Margaritaville in your songs. Or at least I always like them as much as any Buffett song, which is a metric ton. This is definitely a Christmas song that could and should be on every playlist this time of year. It has all the best ingredients: catchy melody, relatable and enjoyable story that should be repeated each year, and a wonderful arrangement that appeals to everyone.

Hi, Elliot. A strong pop song! Catchy, with excellent harmonies on the vocals. The arrangement sounds great. I'm assuming that this is a hybrid of Suno and BiaB. It's got the same sort of "list" elements that AI likes to generate, but oddly you've got two lines that are incomplete: When I saw your face By the lights on the Christmas tree
I knew that the night ???
I know I will never erase that sweet memory
I knew that it right ???
One Christmas Night
I will never forgetYou're an excellent songwriter, so I'm having difficulty imagining how this would happen if you wrote the lyrics yourself. You've listed BiaB elements, but there are some parts of the arrangement - like the keys - that you haven't listed. Since you didn't mention playing them, I'm assuming you pulled them from the Suno stems. Whatever the origin, they sound excellent. The vocals are SynthV, but I'm assuming you imported them from Suno vocal stems, partly because at 2:09 Natalie sings "kwis-miss" instead of "Christmas". Mistaking a liquid consonant /r/ for a /w/ is the sort of error a phoneme recognizer would make, and again, I'm having difficulty imagining that coming from mis-typing "Christmas". I'm not complaining about you possibly using AI. It just would be nice to know the workflow behind the song, that's all. Thanks!

It’s only the 6th day of Christmas, so thanks for keeping the holiday feel going! Nice tune, very well done production, and—-as the lyric says—-a song not to be forgotten!
Glad I tuned in!

Elliot,
I don't recall ever hearing a fall-in-love-on-christmas song.
Clever idea.
Sounds good.

I wrote the lyrics, and did all the music in BIAB and played the keys. I'm dyslexic so at times I reverse words, the line should be: "I knew it was right" ... one Christmas night. After I produced this in BIAB I tried the SUNO v4 new Cover Beta Feature and this was its results: https://suno.com/song/cf997bd0-0328-4984-9fb4-f7722f149829 This is an interesting new feature, its close, but needs more work. Its in Beta so I expect this to be a improved and very useful in the future. L Happy New Year Dave!
