The most wonderful time of the year for us children was, of course, always Christmas time.
You never forget the memories, and maybe this song can bring them back to life for you.
Have fun

Hello forum members
I found a Christmas lyric of mine from 2014 a few days ago. But without music.
Since my new song 'YOU AND I' will unfortunately be delayed I decided to write my first Christmas song.
I'm happy that I can present it to you before Christmas and hope you like it ;-)

I take the opportunity to wish all members and their relatives
and of course all employees of PG Music a Merry Christmas
and a healthy start into the new year 2022.


Special greetings go to Marty who supports me here with advice and action.
Thanks for that

Listen to THESE DAYS ARE FOREVER - Christmas Memories


THESE DAYS ARE FOREVER - Christmas Memories
TEXT & MUSIC : A.Melzer 30102014-16122021

the first snowflakes swirl through the air
the sparkle of the crystals shines anywhere

the whole landscape is colored white
my friends and I play side by side

i smell the christmas cookies everywhere
mother brings me some up the stairs

i can feel the magic of the season
see santa in his sleigh
a year without christmas feeling
is like a life without a trace

merry christmas
and a happy new year
i wish you all the best
a future with no fear

that's all I wish for you
i hope it comes true

the tree stands not exactly in our room
father will fix this very soon

the christmas eve today has come
and the memories of these days are not gone

we were lucky enough to grow up this way
it's forever the best holidays

Hi Andi,

that's a nice Christmas rocker with really dedicated vocals. Good backing track, too. And you can never go wrong with a Brent Mason solo - he's supernatural.

Take care,

Stefan

PS: Dir auch ruhige und entspannte Weihnachtstage und (im Moment wohl wichtiger denn je) ein gesundes 2022, das wohl auch nicht viel besser wird als das ausgehende - halt Dir vor allem das Drecks-Virus vom Leib.

"merry christmas

Same to you and something we can all relate to.

Great rockin' Christmas song.

Strong vocal and a good soundstage on our KRK's.
The drums sound great. Nice snare pop.

Well done and have a fun Christmas/New years!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi Andi,

That is some Merry Christmas wish. Rocky!
And you sang it quite interesting, some lines spoken out like a machinegun (sorry in the christmas context...) and others more slow. Like that. And there was that wonderful solo.
I enjoyed your Christmas wish and wish you the same,
Hans

Hello Andi,

Very nice Christmas song!
Bob Dylan feel is very good.
It's full of Christmas mood.
And it's very energetic.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hello Stefan
Thanks for your feedback
You are right
The realtracks from Brent are always very very good
I have calculated the solo very often until it is really very good
I had already asked PG Music if this is not also easier to do
They told me that you could use the Multiriff function to calculate your solo piece by piece.
Somehow I never managed to do that ;-))))
Thanks again
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

P.S.:Meinen Bruder hatte das Virus vor 6 Wochen erwischt.
Er hatte aber keine Symptome. Alles gut verlaufen
Aber so schnell kann es gehen
Jetzt zu Weihnachten möchte ich auch nicht in Quarantäne...
Passt schön auf euch auf
Bis bald ;-)))

Hello Janice & Bud
thanks for the feedback
Glad you liked the Christmas song
A lot of people don't like rockin' Christmas songs that much
but I think if they come from the heart it doesn't matter what kind of music it is
Thanks again
Many greetings
Andi ;-)
