Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night! This is kind of a Christmas lullaby for you and yours. I held back on the instrumentation, only 7 or 8 instrumental tracks ;) Enjoy!!
Addendum—It’s not an original, but an old lullaby (I guess?). I’ve heard a few artists perform it (Sufjan!) but my favorite version—the one I’m covering here—belongs to Bifrost Arts. Check it out here.
I *may* have gone a little overboard this time.. Christmas special forthcoming!!
OOPS I bought this. It’s my Chewtar.
Ok so Passion Pit just released their new album, Gossamer, on Tuesday. There’s an incredible cover story about the lead, Michael Angelakos on Pitchfork about his struggles with mental health. I feel like having read a little bit about his story, I get this song so much more. If you’ve ever seen or heard any of his acoustic sets, you would know he’s absolutely amazing even without all the electronic beats and the falsetto. So I wanted to strip this song down to its bare elements. I can’t wait until he releases an acoustic album. Everyone will be blown away.
Ok I’m coming to grips with the fact that they can’t all be winners, but just getting into the practice of writing original songs is what I need.
The gang’s (almost) all here!!
