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 **** Song Summary ********* Title: THESE DAYS ARE FOREVER File:THESE DAYS ARE FOREVER.SGU Key=C , Tempo 80, Length (m:s)=4:45 1 bar intro, 90 bar chorus, from bar 2 to bar 91.

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.

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.

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 ;-)))
