Happy holidays from me and Johannes!
I made this for a special Christmas-themed podcast-episode that me and my friends made a while ago, for which we all made our own Christmas songs. My original Ableton "demo" (that you can hear in the podcast) turned out really good, and then I decided I want to make a proper "studio" version of it.
So, here it is, just in time for Christmas eve. (We mixed and mastered all night to have it ready for release today haha)
Hope you'll still be able to enjoy this song although Christmas time is almost over...
Special thanks to Julia and Kenza for being the best podcast friends ever. And sharing the challenge of making a christmas song.
And to Johannes for helping me with everything, always.

Lyrics:

Candles burning in every window
It's snowing in slow motion
Church bells echo in the distance
Families come together

We light up our homes
With food and mistletoes
Stress for weeks
To have gifts under the tree
Year after year we're workin like crazy
Forgetting what christmas is all about

Helping the ones in need 
praying for the lonely
Sharing happiness
And hope through the darkness

Poor man looking for a shelter
Meanwhile rich kids writing
Wish lists full of toys and candy
Will that make them happy?

Thanks for listening and reading. Hug!
