This is the first composition with a vocal that I have written because I am useless at singing, so I produced the track and then had someone else sing the vocal for me. The theme of the song is how my 2 daughters and my wife want to get the xmas tree and decorations up "Earlier Every Year"
It is all virtual instruments and I have produced it using Cubase. The only effect that I added (apart from a bit of reverb and EQ here and there) is a little harmony on the vocals in the chorus - this was done using the plug-in within Cubase. I used BIAB to enter the chords and get some inspiration from some styles, but didn't actually use any BIAB output on this tune.
Earlier Every Year Lyrics:
Autumn leaves begin to fall, now there’s no excuse at all,
Get the tree out from the loft, Fortnum’s mince pies will be scoffed.
CHORUS: Christmas cheer is nearly here, as soon as Halloween’s over
Thoughts will be turning, to log fires burning,
Earlier every year.
Listen to those Christmas tunes, hear Bing Crosby as he croons,
Get the wreath up on the door, cardboard boxes on the floor.
CHORUS:
Tinsel hanging on the tree, baubles bought by you and me,
Check the lights and check the plug, isn’t it great to be this smug.
CHORUS:
Decorations all complete, Christmas gifts all wrapped up neat,
Turkey’s ordered, have no doubts, but it’s still a month till we peel the sprouts.
CHORUS:
