It's Christmas Eve

https://soundcloud.com/user-427542889/its-christmas-eve/s-JJwu6

BIAB track info below lyrics


LYRICS:

Well, it’s Christmas Eve and it feels like it’s gonna snow
It’s Christmas Eve and it feels like it’s gonna snow
Well, I’m new in town, don’t know my way around
So where to go? I’m out of dough.


Got holes in my pockets and bigger ones in my shoes
Got a load of baggage and I feel like singin’ the blues
If I could find me a friend on whom I could depend
I’d pay my dues – right on cue

Let me tell you that
It’s Christmas Eve and it feels like it’s gonna snow
It’s Christmas Eve and it feels like it’s gonna snow
Well, I’m new in town, don’t know my way around
So where to go? I’m out of dough.


[INSTRUMENTAL]

[Bridge]:

Then I’m hearing voices from way across the street
Sev’ral hundred hands that are clappin’ to the beat
They sound kinda joyful, singing Christmas songs
Next moment I’m in the church joining with the throng
and I’ve seen the LIGHT
and I know it’s all right!

It’s Christmas Eve and it feels like it’s gonna snow
It’s Christmas Eve and it feels like it’s gonna snow
Though, I’m new in town, I know I’ve found
the way to go – so let it snow!
the way to go – so let it snow!
the way to go – so let it snow!
Way to go!

Good Blues number Brian.

Blues can be used for just about everything, why not Christmas too grin

"So where to go? I’m out of dough." Great line, I got a laugh.

We've done some Christmas blues also. It works much better than folks would imagine.

We always enjoy a blues shuffle so this was right in our wheelhouse.

Fun!

Ah - here comes the wave of Christmas songs. I found this one flowed nicely. When I think Christmas, "blues" isn't what comes to mind but this worked really well actually.

Thanks for sharing smile

Its certainly a vivid lyrical image which fits your tune so well...
Merry Christmas!

Beautiful work Ghostgum! This sounds like a Christmas movie soundtrack cut! I hear this as an intro piece to a movie! You might explore that next year! Great job!! Thanks, Torrey.

This is great. A 50's R&R blues shuffle about Christmas, perfect!

I liked everything about this. The 50's groove, your lyrics and especially your vocal. Excellent work.

Thanks, Torrey.
Creating music I can do tolerably well.
Exploration - i.e. getting it "out there" - is a different skill set and I can see that I'll need to spend more time on that side of the process wink
