  • this cover was super last minute but i knew i had to make it when i learned the original lyrics to the song; it was just too perfect. that being said, sorry if this ruins your holiday spirit:
    have yourself a merry little christmas
    it may be your last
    next year we may all be living in the past
    have yourself a merry little christmas
    pop that champagne cork
    next year we may all be living in new york
    no good times like the olden days
    happy golden days of yore
    faithful friends who were dear to us
    will be near to us no more
    but at least we all will be together
    if the lord allows
    from now on we'll have to muddle through somehow
    so have yourself a merry little christmas now

      Switching to a minor key with that walking bassline was absolutely gripping. I had it on repeat for a couple hours. Thank you. I had a near life experience. Lol. It is a solid classic; Have you considered an extended sequel? Like Floyd or Beatles used to do? Idk. I really loved it and thought of adding a brass section to the bass and a bit of fading crescendo oboe and strings section the to 'yore' part. No critique. I absolutely love it, as is. I could just listen to it for a long time and filling it out is always a fun thing to do to songs that feel that way. Anyway, congratulations on the cool tune and best of luck to you. I hope everyone gets a chance to hear you perform. ✌

    the original lyrics and the darkened tone makes this typically happy song so much more somber. Almost like a post-apocalypse Christmas where people are slowly dying left and right and everyone's trying to stay cheerful for the holidays. But it's very difficult to. All they have is the past memories before the world got dark

    Have you see self a merry little Christmas
    It may be your last
    Next year we may all be living in
    the past
    Have yourself a merry little Christmas
    Pop that champagne cork
    Next year we may all be living in

    I don't think of this song as depressing but self reflective and enlightening. An adult telling their younger self to enjoy being a child. The adult reflecting on their childhood memories. Celebrating Christmas in honor of the ones who've passed on and the ones who didn't stay around long enough to celebrate Christmas with them. (friends and romantic/sexual relationships)

    I was sitting silently on my bed when I saw this was uploaded.
    There was snow falling outside the window, the kind that is pure white and fluffy, the kind that deadens down everything.
    The crooked old tree by the roof still looked haggard, but somehow more creepy with the snow.
    The sky was grey, no clouds, just gloom.
    And we all simply were. The snow, the tree, the roof, my bed and I.
    Just us.
