What? It’s December already?
Again?
Man, this year has flown by.
And what a year it’s been.
Personally, it’s been a year with a focus on recording, filming, and releasing new original music every month.
Ok, so I did cheat a little, and one month I released a 35 year old song.
But it was original, and a new recording.
But I made it.
A new, original song every month for a year.
Starting with last year’s Twisted Christmas song.
Actually, it started with the release of eight loop-based songs, to pre-populate my YouTube channel.
I refer to them as The Stones, as they all have “Stone” in the name.
Building Stone, Made in Stone, Hot Stone, Not Set in Stone…
All have “Stone” in the name.
They were a series of experiments, to see what I could do with loops.
Some are more loopy than others.
And then followed by twelve monthly original songs.
Some serious, some silly.
So, twenty original songs released in just over a year.
And I still have another half-dozen at various points of production.
A couple of these, the music is complete, but haven’t been filmed yet.
The rest all need some parts to be recorded before they can be mixed.
So, I’m not done yet.
But I am going to relax the release schedule.
Things will be released when I get them to that point.
But I’m not going to keep to a monthly schedule.
At least for now.
And this year, I’m returning to form, as far as Twisted Christmas is concerned.
This year, one traditional Christmas song was speaking to me.
It needed to be twisted.
See, I’ve always heard about how this time of year is a popular time for suicides.
It seems that depression hits particularly hard during the holiday season.
And this year is likely no exception.
Considering how much gnashing of teeth I’ve seen over the past month.
It could be a problem.
So, if you know of someone who you think could be at risk, reach out.
Let them know that they are not alone.
And that things can get better.
If they just give it a little time.
Anyways, here’s this year’s Twisted Christmas song…
