Merry Christmas!
Well, here's something I've certainly never done before. To this day, I would not use the word "singer" to describe myself...but 'tis the season to challenge myself, and what better way to do that than with an acapella piece! It's actually something I have wanted to try for a while, and I suppose you could hear a hint of it in my cover of "How Great Thou Art".
I also wanted to make an original Christmas song, because to be honest, I get tired of the same ones over and over. So I was wondering how I would do something original. It seems like it's all been done before. Well, I thought it might be funny if my lyrics throughout the whole song were simply "Whoa! It's Christmas!". But I soon realized that was much too simple, so I added the middle section (verse) which basically just talks about the excitement as Christmas finally arrives, and the release from stress. I still wanted to keep the song pretty short though, so there is no second verse. The "chorus, verse, chorus" structure doesn't make much sense, but whatever. Now with the video, I also wanted to challenge myself. Obviously the filming wasn't too difficult, but it did take a while to arrange all the different parts on screen. I'm slowly getting more proficient at that; hopefully it will be easier if I ever try it again.
Thanks for watching, listening, and sharing honest opinions. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas, and in case this is my last upload of 2015, I will also say Happy New Year! Best wishes, and God bless.
Lyrics:
Whoa! ...
It's Christmas!
I can't believe it's here at last
So long it took the year to pass
But finally we celebrate
the day we all anticipate
I can't believe it's here at last
After a million fears amassed
Preoccupied with hectic days
Stressed out in such eclectic ways, but now...
Whoa! ...
It's Christmas!
