My band, Diamond Edge was asked by Boston Rock Radio to write and submit an original Christmas tune in the style of rock.
I put the rough idea up here in a hurry and Jean-Philippe starting working his magic, then Henry popped in to add the icing on the cake! I'll be sharing the link here to the live streaming radio show if anyone wants to tune in...
Guitars: Henry Mittnacht
Mix, arrangement, drums and bass: Jean-Phillipe Roger
Vocals, songwriting: Tricia/Diamond Edge
Hey There December
Hey there December ...
It's been a while
and I remember...
how you made me smile
you brought out the red and green and plenty of white
you had me writing out my list and behaving so nice
Hey there December...
have you come back around
our family members...
will soon be in town
you brought out the red and green but a bit too much white
here come the crowded stores and long check out lines
hello Christmas
my favorite time
to get together
to reunite
to celebrate
the birth of a King
The Joy of Christmas
is everything
this year, December
we miss a few dear souls
hey there, December
don't make it feel too cold
we'll need some extra Christmas cheer
and more logs for the fire
we'll huddle together spreading love
for the little child
Hey there December...
so you have to go
we will remember...
good times you've shown
we'll miss all the red and green, and even the white
we promise to let the love linger on for a while
goodbye Christmas
my favorite time
to get together
to reunite
to celebrate
the birth of a King
The Joy of Christmas
is everything
