Wow. I wasn't expecting that ...

A great rocker and you have tamed that vocaloid. Some sleigh ride that was.

Very nice full sound and well produced.

Cheers.
Mike.

Fun one, Janne.

Elf Pop Rock. Cool. Well mixed. Good drum sound...

fj

Very cool . The Good The Bad and the Ugly meet Santa Claus :-)

This is definitely the coolest Christmas song posted here!
The first part of the song especially would fit right into a Tarantino movie like Kill Bill

Our very best wishes to you!

Rob and Anne-Marie

Janne,

This is an excellent, fun seasonal song. I really love the Shevannai vocals but you have also coaxed some lovely Vocaloid vocals and harmonies out of Ruby.

Also the overall rocky vibe is great and has a sparkling sheen to it

Then there's the guitar solo - HOT!!

Loved it!
Jez

Fun!

OK... wow - just WOW! This is a refreshing change from most holiday tunes!

Great choice of instruments - and I really like the feel of this one.

(note: this may get added to the Christmas Party playlist!)

This is our HOT FORUM TOPIC for today!

Thanks Mike, I'm glad you enjoyed the ride

Janne

Thanks Floyd, elf rock - I really like that description Retropop drums are now my favorite, can be used in so many songs

Janne

Thanks Scott for commenting, your association is amusing

Janne

COOL SONG!! Reminds me of the Trans-Siberian? orchestra. Lots of energy, and a fun, exciting, celebratory feel. Very good production and mix. GREAT stuff! Take care. Greg

Janne

What a sensational and outstanding contribution. This is really well done, and like others have mentioned, this has come from left field.

Excellent.

Great production! Definitely unexpected. Keep 'em coming.

Bob

Thanks Rob & Anne-Marie for your kind words and the Tarantino reference And thanks for your excellent vocals for many of my songs this year. Have a musical year 2017

Janne

Thanks Jez, nice to hear that you liked the vocal parts. I like the guitar solo too, I think I used some Jimi Hendrix preset in Amplitube for that.

Janne

Thanks David for your simple but pleasing comment

Janne

Thanks Callie for all the Wows and getting hot listed

Janne

Janne,

I read the comments first and did not know what to expect BUT WHAT A SONG!!!

The song rocks along as if I am sitting on the sleigh, hanging on for dear life

Shevannai and Ruby nail the vocals.
Well done!!

I hope you have a good Christmas

Alyn

Thanks Greg for your kind words I hadn't heard about Trans-Siberian Orchestra before but now I'm listening to them, interesting stuff. There is sort of a similar Finnish group Raskasta Joulua, they have made heavy metal version of Christmas songs, check for their English album Ragnarok Juletide, for example White Christmas on YouTube.

Janne

Thanks VideoTrack, I'm glad to read your praising comment



Thanks Bob for commenting and liking

Janne

Beyond cool! Powerful and energized, like Santa's sleigh! Thanks for an uplifting listen. Merry Christmas,

Alan & Di

A pay-attention-to song!

Thanks molsenhouse, Alan & Di, Marty for your kind and comments



Janne

I am not a fan of Vocaloid, but in this kind of tune, it works well ! All fit together perfectly, congratulations !

Definitivly a song for a modern SantaClaus (the bells keep the link with the traditions)

Have a excellent 2007
Pascal

Thanks Pascal for your comment and congratulation I think I had an excellent 2007, but I hope that also 2017 is as good and creative as that year, for you also

Janne

Shevannai: the Voices of Elves. floyd has all the best punch lines.

Nothing new to add, other than another set of kudos.
