A Collection Of Soundcloud Christmas Music

Rather than follow the traditional path for this classic Christmas song we decided to change the words just a bit so the story is quicker paced than usual and told in the present tense. The message is eternal and unchanging and we hope our acoustic folk version will express it as well as any other version has for generations. Wishing everyone a very joyful Christmas 2022! 

We also did a music video with Nat & performing this song: https://youtu.be/Qwd9lq5Wkeo

Lyrics:  Noel (adapted from the traditional The First Noel)

On the first Noel 
Shepherds see a great star
That is guiding three wise men 
From countries afar.
And onto the earth 
Shines this glorious light
Over Bethlehem where the 
Newborn King lies

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel! 
Born is the King of Israel!

Following the Holy light, 
To a stable they come
And there lies dear Jesus, 
God’s only son
Falling to their knees, 
With a gift they each bare 
Humbly looking upon the Lord’s 
Gift lying there

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel! 
Born is the King of Israel!

Come farmers and statesmen, 
Come rich and come poor
Praise the gift of Christ Jesus, 
From our heavenly Lord.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel! 
Born is the King of Israel! 
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel! 
Born is the King of Israel!

Noel

This song has a special meaning for us.  We sat on Durge's couch and completed the words together, and created a video on the same day.  This is about the true meaning of Christmas, sentiments we so humbly want to share with you all. 
With all the Love in our hearts..    A Very Merry Christmas to you All.  from Nat & Durge xxx

Lyrics:
This Holy Christmas Eve.. 

I guess it’s time to set the table
The fairy lights they flicker like fireflies
The smell of wood and coal from the fire
The Laughter of family and peace is found in all

There so much I feel so grateful for
The years have been so sweet
And through the blessings 
And the bitter 
Life is so complete

The TV plays a Christmas Carol,
There’s far too much to do..
Don’t want the time to run a mile,
And yet it slows down lost in the thoughts of you…

Yes the You that is the World today, 
The way we all can be
I’ll give my love with warmth and pleasure 
A hand , a hug,  
We stand together 

But All I am is all I can give
My love is yours.. yes yours
And may the world find peace this evening
As the snow falls on the this Holy Christmas Eve

This Holy Christmas Eve

The season is upon us...Merry Christmas Folks! The Constant reliability through the Ages, has always been our ability to Love, to Hope, and to Dream.  May this song remind you all, that no matter how small an Idea or action may seem, you can never know the ripples it will initiate through time.  May you ALL Be Blessed, Fed, Healthy, and Loved this Christmas..    With All our Love, Nat & Durge.  

With Special thanks to Little Miss Maïa for singing along on this song! She's only 9 years old, but she showed a lot of courage to sing a long with her Mama, and her awesome Uncle Durge.  

Thank you Maïa, for being my Chorus of Angels xxx

Lyrics: Down Through The Midnight by Nat Daniels

Rolling downward, through the midnight
Bursts a glorious heavenly song
And It’s a chorus of Light and Angels
That pierced the night so long ago

Oh Glory in the highest
On this glorious Christmas Eve
And it’s so crazy oh…to imagine
What a night it must have been
The earth stood still and witnessed Holy peace ..
And felt such peace!
And the wise became so humble,
As the Angels blessed the earth beneath their feet.

Choir:
Glory in the highest.. 

The gentle cry of a child that saved us
Will echo on ‘till all is gone,
But times have made life so confusing
And yet His love lives on in all

Oh Glory in the highest
Christmas Eve so long ago
And It’s so crazy oh.. to imagine
How a child could change the world
The earth stood still in silent reverie
And felt such peace!
And the wise became so humble,
As the Angels blessed the earth beneath their feet.

So do you hear it, through the midnight?
Can you hear the Angels’ song?
Oh it’s only heard in your kindness ..
And you will hear their song of old

Down Through The Midnight

A simple message for the fast approaching Christmas Day, taking the time honored classic tune and adding a few other familiar elements to this folky, upbeat rendition. I want to dedicate this Christmas wish to all my SoundCloud friends but most especially my dear friend and awesome partner in musical crime, Nat Daniels. This one is a solo effort but it goes out to Nat. 
Merry Christmas!!!

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

This is a cover of the time honored Christmas classic that grew to particular popularity and meaning during WWII for American soldiers fighting far from home. Nat and I both love the song but we wanted to try something a little more lively while maintaining the ultimate melancholy of the words. We send this out with the hope that it reaches all our friends with its longing for home and the eternal loving spirit of Christmas. (Photo: Ralph Morse)

I'll Be Home For Christmas (Cover)

Sit down at the end of the day with a mug of glühwein or a mug of hot chocolate and imagine a typical village Christmas scene on the front of a Christmas card. This is a song of that image.

This started with a very beautiful piano piece by Tom, then advanced by Jussi’s great electric guitar lead. I added an imagined lyric about someone not being able to commit to a relationship and the song was completed by Boon’s excellent acoustic guitar work. Thanks to all for their wonderful contributions. Thanks everyone for giving this a listen. Much appreciated by us all. 

Desamor by Tom Régnier, Jussi Welin, Boon Suzuki and Mark J Bennett

There’s an absence in my life, 
Perhaps of my own device. 
An awkward independence, 
Rendered me unable to share,
 My life with any other. 
Desamor, Desamor

There’s an absence in my life,
 Desamor, Desamor 
An awkward independence,
 Left me unable to share.
 Desamor, Desamor
 Keeping a distance from love and affection, 
Forbidding myself that joy.

There’s an absence in my life,
 Desamor, Desamor

Keeping a distance from love and affection, 
 Forbidding myself that joy.
 Desamor, Desamor

Desamor - Tom Régnier, Jussi Welin, Boon Suzuki & Mark J Bennett

I love this time of year when the light seems to play on the floors.  It's just a peaceful thing I notice.  Certainly not earthshaking, but lovely.
Thank you to David Dunham for his friendship and his unending help in mastering my piano tracks.

Hard work n sacrifice know what I mean

And all ya got left is a lotta tuff luck

Without enough sense to ever wonder why

To old to work to broke to quit
Just a cog in the wheel lost in the mix

When Love begins

I started out writing a Christmas song and as i was writing down the lyrics a little hand took my hand and this happened...What if Children ruled the world. They are born with so much Love and so much happiness and Innocence and then we , the Adults teach them how to be Adults ...what if it went the other way...what if they taught us about being a Child again, Remember Happiness, Love and peace. I know its only a Song but wouldn't it be great to be an Adult and to actually believe in these things once again. With this thought i would like to wish you all a very happy and peaceful and childish Christmas...Love Johnny 
Johnny

If Children Ruled The World

This is the last renovation of several songs I wrote some years back and recorded with Roger Stankovic (https://soundcloud.com/roger-stankovic), who did the lead vocals. Started as a basic piano and vocals track, but I took it down and added some new elements. Very happy with Roger's amazing work on this! Harmonies, moi, and Jen DB.

Falling Sands

some variations from Jacques Lemaire upon a theme by Marco Lucchi

Jacques Lemaire & Marco Lucchi - wallpaper music n*1 [variations]

I decided to take acoustic stabs at one of my  previous Christmas songs.  This song is based on my real life Uncle Lou.
The lead vocals (Rhode NT1  5th generation mic) and guitar (Taylor 114ce,  capo first fret, plugged in) were recorded simultaneously on two separate tracks and then I went back and added the backing vocals (strongly resisting the urge to add any other instruments).  
****
Christmas comes once a year.
It’s a time of happiness and cheer and it’s also the one day that Uncle Lou gets to use his electric knife
He used to work in a butcher shop and all day long there was meat to chop.
But now he’s an accountant and his life is kind of dull in a mind numbing sort of way.

But when it comes time for Uncle Lou to cut the Christmas ham and turkey
he get’s a wild gleam in his eye
He says don’t worry I’m a professional
I know what I am doing
as we all try to get out of his way

Uncle Lou’s got the electric knife
And we’re fearing for his life
That poor turkey had no chance
I think I’m gonna wet my pants
We’re afraid that Santa won’t come
And if he does he’ll turn and run
He’ll take one look Uncle Lou
And his reindeers will be scared too

They say Electric knives have a high injury potential
And losing a finger is very consequential
But Uncle Lou doesn’t seem to care
He’s got the culinary version of a chainsaw in his hand
And he picks it up and he takes command
If he had a hockey mask you’d swear it was Friday the 13th
After a few minutes his job is complete
And then we all sit down to eat
Instead of saying grace we thank God that his fingers have survived for another year

Uncle Lou’s got the electric knife
And we’re fearing for his life
That poor turkey had no chance
I think I’m gonna wet my pants
We’re afraid that Santa won’t come
And if he does he’ll turn and run
He’ll take one look Uncle Lou
And his reindeers will be scared too

Uncle Lou's Got The Electric Knife (Acoustic)

This is an introspective tune that describes one man’s attempt to spend his Christmas alone so he might more fully assess his life through Christmases past to the present. He has no distractions and finds the peace of the Christmas spirit to ease his soul.

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
The new winter moon pours out bright on the lake
Snow like a carpet to my door
There by the window, this moment I take
The fireplace crackles with warmth
 
(Pre Chorus)
This cabin holds memories, a child I was then
Grown up with each summer gone by
But this Christmas Eve, alone I have been
To rescue the blessings of time. 
 
(Verse 2)
This whiskey that’s aged well for 26 years
Golden and warming it glows
The Christmas winds whistle with yesterday’s fears
Outside like a siren it blows
 
I see many faces in Christmases past
Their voices resound with a smile
And as the logs settle to embers and ash
My soul is at ease like a child
 
Alone I have no one but me to engage
There is no other voice but the night
The night that conceived on this holiest eve
The eternal truth of the light
 
I see many faces in Christmases past
Their voices resound with a smile
And as the logs settle to embers and ash
My soul is at ease like a child
My soul is at ease, on this Christmas Eve
My soul is at ease like a child

Alone with Yule

Wicked thrive beneath the sun 
Heaven fades when night is done
Righteous bleed but we still sing 
This world’s the worst we’ll ever see
Tag
Be mindful of the cross
Our portion stands
Their glory’s lost
Chorus 
We watch them profit- covet not 
Their soul is bound to what will rot
Closest to heaven - they will be 
Christ our portion- all we need                    
Verse 2 
Pride has chains rust and weight
Violence smothers bites and stains 
Mouths defy the risen King 
Shame enthrones iniquity 
Prechorus
Be mindful of the cross
Our portion stands
Their glory’s lost
Chorus
We watch them profit- covet not 
Their soul is bound to what will rot
Closest to heaven - they will be 
Christ's our portion-all we need
Bridge 
Whom have we in heaven but You, Jesus? 
Nothing earthly  compares to You
Heart and flesh may fail
The power of Your strength prevails
Chorus
We watch them profit- covet not 
Their soul is bound to what will rot
Closest to heaven - they will be 
Christ's our portion-all we need

All We Need

An ode to the brilliant fictional and national treasures that are Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs. 
Instrumental, Production: Oussama Arichi
Vocals, Lyrics, Mix: Nadia Selvaggi (with Phil Collins' In the Air Tonight in the outro) 
"Pulling over to use a coin-operated payphone" -- from Kim Hughs' article, 'Miami Vice Turns 40: From the Clothes to the Cast, How the ’80s Classic Reinvented TV'

Crockett & Tubbs by Oussama Arichi & Nadia Selvaggi

My first Christmas song! This was originally intended to be just a series of improvisations on Prokofiev's Troika ( Sleigh Ride ) but then I got the idea of bringing in a space theme. So I started thinking about the Apollo 11 moon landing and worked this in. I’m not quite sure how, but Neil Armstrong has ended up providing the main vocal hook - hence the extra title in brackets! There’s a hint of Also Sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss about the brass section. I added the actual Strauss motif in the fade out just because….well, it’s meant to be a jolly festive song so why not?It was a whole heap of fun adding all the effects and touches to create that spacey and festive vibe. I hope you enjoy it and, obviously, have a wonderful Christmas!

****We have decided to link the song to a fundraising campaign. All proceeds and donations related to the song will go to a UNICEF project that supports children in the war-torn regions of Ukraine. We appreciate every contribution to the project, whether big or small. Thank you for your support!
www.unicef.de/spendenaktion/idee?cfd=jdo7r ****Well where do I start ? About 5 months ago me and Axel Menningen had a crazy idea to bring about 20 Soundcloud artists together for a Christmas song . So I got the chords and melody sorted and brought Andrea Brennan in to write the lyrics , the rough demo was then sent over to Axel for him to work his magic ! The next few months were spent gathering singers , and Axel had the massive task of mixing the whole thing together , we did the music almost last , everyone had to do their part working with just a rough acoustic and drum demo , but it did not phase anyone in the slightest , true pros !
A cause close to my heart is the Ukraine , so we want to make as much as possible to try and help these oppressed people .
Axel made a wonderful video too https://youtu.be/ZuvDeiWsgYE?si=kzRPIyrARDlvSHxj
I would like to thank everybody involved in this project , you are so kind to donate your time and effort , from the bottom of my heart I thank you , along with Axel and Andrea !
A big thank you to everyone involved

The Greatest Gifts

I’m surrounded by cardboard boxes  
Paper, ribbons and bows    
December 18th, only one week left to go 
Time to get, this show on the road  

And with every single bow I tie  
Each name I cross from my list  
I can feel my spirits start to rise  
Thinking about our gifts   
Not just at holidays    
But every day     

A smile from a stranger   
While walking through the streets of town
The hand of a close friend
When I’m knocked down 
The laughter of loved ones
That turn the darkest day around
These are the greatest gifts
That make the world go round

Lights on my Christmas boughs  
Blink red, blue and green   
And each branch holds a special memory 
Ornaments, sentimental to me  

And the angel glowing high from above 
Shines like a Christmas wish   
Of joy, peace, hope, forgiveness and love 
God’s precious given gifts   
Not just at holidays - But every day  

A smile from a stranger   
While walking through the streets of town
The hand of a close friend
When I’m knocked down 
The laughter of loved ones
That  turn the darkest day around
These are the greatest gifts
That make the world go round

I wrap the last gift ,     
place it under the tree   
Thankful for blessings I receive  

A smile from a stranger   
While walking through the streets of town
The hand of a close friend
When I’m knocked down 
The laughter of loved ones
That turn the darkest day around
These are the greatest gifts

A smile from a stranger   
While walking through the streets of town
The hand of a close friend
When I’m knocked down 
The laughter of loved ones
That turn the darkest day around
These are the greatest gifts
That make the world go round

On the next release I'll name and shame a new scammer , actually I'll
do it now !
Nick Sligh representing Universal , avoid this pondlife !

Joy to the World - Materia Collective - Free download

An original written , composed and presented by Gary McMahon and myself.  We had the help of two great musicians (Josh McAlexander and Lawrence Farr) who brought the lyrics to life with their great voices.  I can't tell you how much I appreciate all of you guys for a great job.  Gary and his families lost their homes in the Paradise, CA fires recently and having a rough time.  We all keep him in our thoughts and pray.  
Lyrics:
Christmas night is here, and the skies seem so crystal clear
And the star that shown so bright, so long ago still shines tonight
A mother holds her child, wise men bow down a world reconciled
( May the warmth from that star that flows
Set your heart aglow
May that star lead you home)
Loved ones all are near, tinsel and lights hang for good cheer
And atop of that Christmas tree, we place a star for all to see
Love can open your eyes, for one, for all, our Christmas sky
And in our hearts there will be, that star that shines eternally.

LYRICS:
The day arrives with a bright sunrise
And the cold is crisp and calling
What a grand surprise to cast my eyes
On a Christmas snow that’s falling

Lucy stoke the fire, to your heart’s desire
And I will tend to the horses
For this is the day, to celebrate
The Lord’s eternal forces

Blessed Father, joyous children
We’ll gather in his name
We will sing and play, on this Christmas Day
And his glory shall proclaim  

Set the table fine, with ale and wine
And  cider for the younger
Bow our heads in prayer, to thank Him here
For shelter and no hunger

Willie fetch your pipes, when the time is right
And I will play my fiddle
To the Christmas sounds, we will circle round
And dance about the middle

Blessed Father, joyous children
We’ll gather in his name
We will sing and play, on this Christmas Day
And his glory shall proclaim

Lyrics:
Christmas Wish by Daniels & Durgy

Can you see the wonder in a falling leaf
The miracle of every day in all the things you see
Look at all the children laugh and play with ease
They paint their lives in colors of love and joy and peace 

Oh can we hold each other can we truly see, 
The love in one another that starts with you and me.. 
And so it comes full circle on this Christmas Eve 
Oh love is still the greatest to give and to receive..

A loving smile can heal you like a warm embrace 
Love is all that matters and all that leads to Grace 
Are we not all destined to be loving souls?
For once we shed this mortal coil we join the same unknown

So it comes full circle and giving thanks I pray
You’ll all love one another beyond this Christmas Day 
All it takes kindness, a truly selfless deed,
To change the world forever and bring us Holy peace
Oh love is all that matters
come take my hand ... it’s up to you and me.
