"It's a very fantastic and unique song, and the feeling is sweet awesome."

Love the ending and reprise, "ho, ho, ho, my ***"

Great experience working with the extremely talented Pascal Hennig https://soundcloud.com/user-650933542

The Gravity Of It All

Pascal Hennig & Jeremy J. Saks - The Gravity Of It All

This was an unexpected piece to round off another year after the acquisition of the wonderful VSL YMIR children's choir library. Well what can you do except compose a piece using it ;-)

Given the time of year a seasonal piece made sense and once I had a title then I was away. I also took the opportunity to practice orchestral wooshes (they are a thing). The ones in this piece comprise a cymbal roll, a timpani roll and a harp gliss.  

Many of the instruments employed here like glockenspiel and tubular bells are popular in this type of music and obviously sleigh bells make an appearance. I took the liberty of quoting 'Deck the Halls' in some places too.

I wanted a dream sequence in the middle of the piece which is mainly choir and alto flute, although the glockenspiel and percussion makes an appearance. It acts as a nice contrast to the general festive sleigh ride feel. 

Wishing you 'The Compliments of the Yuletide Season' :-)

Well, how lucky am I !  So thrilled to have been able to collaborate with Oddrun and Debra on this classic folk ballad.  Its always been one of my favorites.  Oddrun's tender vocal really captures the regret of the poem, and Debra's piano arrangement is the perfect companion to that wonderful voice.  I do hope you'll like our folk jazz rendition. 

Oddrun has some nice background info on the song over on her page. Cover design by Debra

Here is something a bit different. I was working one day and made this tune up in my head. I attempted to record it and hope you all enjoy it to some degree. I haven't played the flute in a long time, so I'm a bit rusty, but anyway...

Farewell to the Redcoats

Immerse yourself in the tranquility and magical world of the night time Pandora…

An Evening on Pandora

Space Chase #2

I wrote this song about 25 years ago but I dusted it off and gave it an ultra-funky groove. Can you dig it? Santa's A little lonely without Mrs. Claus but he'l funk his way through it! Ho, Ho, Holy Moly! Watch the new video on YouTube -

“CHRISTMAS IS JUST ANOTHER DAY WITHOUT YOU”

CHRISTMAS IS JUST ANOTHER DAY OF THE YEAR WITHOUT YOU,
SANTA'S JUST ANOTHER MAN WITH A BEARD WITHOUT YOU,
AND THE OLD CHRISTMAS TREE, DOESN'T LOOK THE SAME TO ME,
AND ALL THE YULE-TIDE SONGS NOW SOUND A BIT OFF KEY,

CHRISTMAS IS JUST ANOTHER DAY OF THE YEAR,
SINCE YOU LEFT ME,
THE SPIRIT OF THE HOLIDAY IS UNCLEAR, SINCE YOU LEFT ME, 
EVERY GOOD GIRL AND BOY,
MAY BE FILLED WITH CHRISTMAS JOY,
BUT CHRISTMAS IS JUST ANOTHER DAY OF THE YEAR,
SINCE YOU LEFT ME, SINCE YOU LEFT ME BABY,

CHRISTMAS IS JUST ANOTHER DAY OF THE YEAR,
SINCE YOU'VE GONE,
THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF ALL MAKES ME CRY,
SINCE YOU'VE GONE,
RUDOLPH'S NOSE MAY SHINE BRIGHT, 
IN FRONT OF SANTA'S SLEIGH TONIGHT,
AND THE SNOW MAY BE FALLING,
BUT SOMEHOW IT DON'T SEEM RIGHT,

CHRISTMAS IS JUST ANOTHER DAY FOR ME TO MISS YOU,
JUST ANOTHER DAY I WON'T GET TO SEE OR KISS YOU,
TILL SANTA BRINGS YOU BACK TO ME, 
AND PUTS YOU UNDER MY CHRISTMAS TREE,
CHRISTMAS WILL BE JUST ANOTHER DAY WITHOUT YOU,
WITHOUT YOU BABY, WITHOUT YOU, WITHOUT YOU BABY,

heaven In Your Eyes

Hi everybody, my name is Jim and I’m a songwriter, I've written over 300 songs, I play guitar, bass, piano, and am an OK lyricist.  I play all types of music and have my own recording studio. If anyone wants to collaborate on any song just let me know, I'll be more than happy to collaborate. I use no A.I. or DAW or any computers to make my songs, all the instruments are played by me live on a multitrack studio recorder and Charlie, my vocalist, sings most of my songs and also plays the Harmonica on several tracks. I'm not a pro or a great musician but I do what I can with the tools that I have! Thanks everyone for listening and the world needs more music now, so let's all sing a song!👍😎✌🏼.
