This is an medieval latin christmas tune coming from Wrocław in Poland, (Breslau).
The Original lyrics are in latin:
1.Quem pastores laudavere
Quibus angeli dixere
Absit vobis iam timere
Natus est rex gloriæ

2. Ad quem reges ambulabant
Aurum, Thus, Myrrham portabant
Immolabant haec sincere
Leoni victoriae

3. Christo regi Deo nato
Per Mariam nobis dato
Merito resonat vere
Dulci cum melodia

Translated to english
1. He whom shepherds praised with singing,
Heavenly angels’ joy were bringing:
“Fear no longer, Christ is born now,
King of glory, Lord of all.”

2. To Him kings with gifts were wending,
Gold and myrrh and incense sending;
These they offered, deeply kneeling,
To the Lion, strong in might.

3. Christ the King, to us descended,
Born of Mary, God’s gift splendid,
Songs of praise and joy unending,
Sweetly sound in harmony.

Prisad Högt av Änglars skara - Sv psalm 432

I've written festive, feel-good, sad, sexy, funky, dysfunctional, and fun Christmas songs, so now I wanted to tackle a different kind of Christmas tune. Imagine if Evanescence were to make a Christmas song. I have a feeling it might sound a little something like this.

'Dark December' is a raw and honest reflection of the pain and loneliness that can often accompany the holiday season. It's a song for those who struggle to find joy amidst the twinkling lights and cheerful carols. If you've ever felt like you're drowning in a sea of seasonal cheer, while secretly struggling with sadness and isolation, know that you're not alone. This song is for you, and I hope it brings some comfort in knowing that you're not the only one feeling this way.



LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Frosted glass covers my soul
Shadows whisper tales untold
Silent night ain't silent now
Why won't peace find me somehow 

[Chorus]
Dark December in my head
Fading lights they fill with dread
Bitter snow and frozen tears
Lonely nights with deepest fears 

[Verse 2]
Echoes linger in the air
Wreaths of pine but none to share
Candles flicker life in gray
Christmas lost in disarray 

[Chorus]
Dark December in my head
Fading lights they fill with dread
Bitter snow and frozen tears
Lonely nights with deepest fears 

[Bridge]
Wish upon a broken star
Hollow wishes not too far
Crimson sky and icy ground
Silent screams the only sound 

[Chorus]
Dark December in my head
Fading lights they fill with dread
Bitter snow and frozen tears
Lonely nights with deepest fears

[Bridge]
Wish upon a broken star
Hollow wishes not too far
Crimson sky and icy ground
Silent screams the only sound 

[Chorus]
Dark December in my head
Fading lights they fill with dread
Bitter snow and frozen tears
Lonely nights with deepest fears


Dark December

Songwriting has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to elementary school when I first began crafting stories, poems, and eventually lyrics. As a former drummer in various bands, I always relied on others to bring my words to life musically. However, after a long hiatus from drumming, I decided to take the leap and learn to compose music to accompany my lyrics. Through classes and dedication, I've embarked on a new journey, breathing fresh life into old lyrics and penning new ones. You'll find a mix of older and newer works here, for the lyrics. 

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is being completely entranced by 'The Little Drummer Boy' as a very young child. There was something about the rhythm and the melody that just captivated me. I must have played it a thousand times, wearing the record out, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a drummer, and to create that magic for others. 

But I was too young then, and of course, I couldn't afford a drum set just yet. So, I turned to writing as a way to express myself. As I mentioned above, I started with stories, then poems, and eventually, lyrics. I found that writing was not only a way to tap into my creativity, but also a way to process my emotions and experiences. 

As I grew older, my love for music only deepened. I realized that music has this incredible power to transport us to different times and places, to evoke emotions and memories that we thought were long forgotten. It's a universal language that can bring people together like nothing else can. 

For me, writing lyrics is a cathartic experience. It's a way for me to tap into my emotions, to process the world around me, and to create something that I hope will resonate with others. And when I hear my words come to life in a song, it's truly magical. It's a feeling that never gets old, and it's what keeps me coming back to music time and time again. 

I love many genres of music and artists of many genres. And if you listen to some of my songs, you will find that I like to make songs of different genres as well as mix different genres into each song. One of my all-time favorite bands is Evanescence, and I have made a lot of songs where I have tried my best to emulate that sound. 

Now, I have recently started experimenting with new sounds. I never heard of glitch beats before I took music classes, and now I'm fascinated with the sound, so I have been experimenting with glitch beats recently. 

I hope you enjoy some of my songs. And thanks so much to everyone who has been listening so far. I truly appreciate it. I welcome constructive feedback to help me grow as an artist, and I appreciate your support. ❤️

BTW If you follow me, I will ALWAYS follow back. If I like your music, I will follow you, but if you don't follow me back within a week or so I will probably unfollow. The same goes with when I see someone listening to my music, I WILL follow, however, if they don't follow me back within a week or so, I'll unfollow, because I'd like to even out my follows/followers numbers.  Hope that makes sense? 😘
