late night thoughts (Patreon)

I really want to write a Christmas song.

Maybe for me, maybe for someone else.. maybe to write it simply for it to exist - it just feels like a fun challenge. Not a carol but a festive banger, a modern 'All I Want for Christmas is You'; cheesy, sure.. but with a poppy infectiousness to it.

I've started stitching together some chords & musical ideas but I'm really struggling with LYRICS! What can be said that hasn't been said a thousand times over!? If anyone has any thoughts to share, I'd be so grateful. What the heck can you say about Christmas other than.. "I like you.. at Christmas? I'm a happy person..at Christmas ? CHRISTMAS IS GREAT!?" There's got to be more to it than that.. Talk to me.

Late night musings aside the demo is shaping up beautifully and will be with you on Saturday 🙂

Love
