Christmas Time for Girls and Boys

This is the first thing I've recorded in awhile. It's a song about Christmas that I wrote for Surfjam Stevens. I recorded it in my bedroom with a little help from my friends. It was performed by Steve Goldberg and the Arch Enemies. Here are the lyrics: Sipping cider we gather round the fireplace faces bright with joy And eating gingerbread our limbs becoming interlaced Christmas time for girls and boys Grandma, grandpa visiting from faraway bring us candy canes and colored boxes whose contents we will speculate may be dolls or model trains Outside it's snowing but inside it's cozy put on your sweater and thickest socks! and it's hard not to feel restless just knowing that Christmas comes closer with each tick of the clock! Little lights wrapped around the Christmas tree shining all night long I'm in the living room encircled by my family singing all the good old songs

I hate Christmas, but songs like this make me want to give it a day pass.

I wish I could borrow the Arch Enemies and the studio, what a nice sound. Let us know how the contest goes, and the best of luck with it.

Aw, this is great. I love your stuff. I actually bought everything I didn't yet have off of itunes on Sunday. Can I buy this somewhere, for Christmas joy when I'm away from the interwebs?

I really love the instrumentation here, and the recording. The whole thing is nice and polished, but the strings are so raw; they remind me of the Mariachis in my local Mexican restaurant.

Thanks for the kind words. As for buying it, sugarfish, you can download it for free at the top of this page! But you can send me a message if you want the .wav version or something.

Oops, I see it now. Thanks! It's going on my ipod, with the other Christmas music to keep me from losing my mind before the end of the year.

I've never had a favorite Christmas song until now. This is great.

Yikes. Flawless. I do have to admit I kept waiting for some evil lyrics to come in. Like "Bi-ting their heads.. off. ...Chew-ing their en-trails! Laaaaaa"

Indeed that is excellent, enchanting and peaceful at the same time. I'm glad I found it via the podcast!
