I liked the idea of taking a classic christmas song and switching it around to give it an eerie vibe. This is what I came up with.

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas (Cover)

This is a newer demo track written in 2017. It's about two people who want to be together but know they shouldn't be.

Oh, Darlin' (Original Demo) - Hallie Anthony

Blue Christmas (Cover) - Hallie Anthony

This song's about making the hard decision to walk away when part of you wants to stay.

Walk Away (Original Demo) - Hallie Anthony

This one came together pretty quickly. I wrote "Apologize" in early 2017 within 15 minutes. I recorded an acoustic track, did a one-take raw-sounding vocal, added in some strings and that was it.

Apologize (Original Demo) - Hallie Anthony

For my “demo” track series, I’ve tried to keep the vocals as raw as possible, usually settling on the first or second vocal take without doing too many background harmonies, if any. I often get caught up in trying to make everything sound perfect, and in doing so, either give up on a track or do so much that the lyrical message gets lost.

The lyrics in this song were particularly important for me to showcase. I think they adequately describe what it feels like to be in love. It’s not always perfect, you’re not always happy, but you’re never going to give up. What do you think?

Enough of you (Original Demo)- Hallie Anthony

I wanted to try something a little different with this one.  'Time's Wasted' was originally going to be primarily acoustic, with just a simple bass line and accompanying drums. I sat on it for a while, then came back and added a bunch of effects that I normally wouldn't have. Hope you enjoy it!

This one is for anyone who’s ever lost someone they’ve cared deeply about. I think the message in this song is really simple, so I wanted to keep the production the same way.
