Bob,
You have now written TWO of the best NEW Christmas songs I have heard in two decades.
This (and the other - "Songs Of Angels") should get recorded - and become annual classics. And make you much money for all your years to come.
Nice production. Excellent vocal - (really sells it!).
Merry Christmas.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!  Same to you.  Very good Christmas tune. Well delivered vocally, good easy listening chord changes with a genuine Christmas Holiday season vocal melody. Personally, and this is NOT a criticism, I was expecting to hear an orchestral arranged middle eight. (sweet, but not shrill string section?) Not a terribly busy section but just revisiting the sweet sounding vocal verse melody. I don't think it would make the song overdone or too long. This is very good tune Bob and stands quite well on it's own....I like it very much. Carry on....

fj, Thanks for the listen and kind remarks. This was written for a publisher who rejected "Songs". He didn't pick this one up either!  Regards, Bob

Wayne,
I know this could've used an orchestral middle eight, but this was just a demo, so I kept it sparse. Thanks for listening and the nice comments. Merry Christmas, and Semper Fi!
Regards,
Bob

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Bob, The same to you! I really enjoyed the song as a whole but especially the vocals. I loved the warmth and yet slightly melancholy feel to it. All the best, Jez

Regards, Bob Got it.... Did I mention that my comment wasn't a criticism?  Should you update the tune do call it to our attention. Sorry it got 'rejected'....I'm sure I'd experience a lot of it if I submitted my drivel to a publisher.  Thanks for responding. A good weekend to all....

Bob,
Your vocal really shines on this and the simple message and uplifting melody are just right. I suppose a string arrangement might add something, but the backing & your use of the synth & loops works very well as is. A thumbs down for the grinch who didn`t see the mistletoe hanging over your fine song!
Robert
