So here's a Christmas-carol-esque song I wrote a while ago but just recorded... Would be interested in some general feedback! (please excuse the christmas inspired key-change/guitar solo!)...

It look's like you don't have Adobe Flash Player installed. Get it now.

I really like this, Hannah. A lovely, fresh Christmas song. After the piano mostly leading it, the style of electric guitar surprised me. Still, a good song.

This is great! The recording is really good and it sounds really well written - although its slightly more difficult to judge this without lyrics! Basically the only bit that I wasn't certain about was the bit early on where it said 'Holy Saviour' and the 'holy' seemed a bit crammed in. Other than that, I love the chorus itself and could see that being used as a tag in a worship set. I'm also very appreciative of the dim. 7ths in the chorus! Great job!!

Hi Hannah, Really nice recording, sounds great from what I can hear of it! Can you post the lyrics? It'd make it easier to comment on them :-) Musically though I love it, it sounds really Christmas-y and I love the chord sequences. The choir gives it a lovely touch as well! Like Mikey I can really see the chorus working as a tag too :-) Great work, keep it up! Michael

Thanks for your comments, here's the lyrics... Today we celebrate your birth Jesus, your glory fills the earth. Emmanuel, holy Saviour Heavenly child in a manger Fulfilling promises of old Your light brings life into all the world Join with the angel choirs to sing Triumphant praise we bring: Alleluia What a Saviour Alleluia All glory to God All glory to God They came to bow before our King With gifts so costly, an offering Travelled so far to adore Him Followed the star sent before them And now we bow before you King Giving our lives as an offering. Join with the angel choirs to sing Triumphant praise we bring: Alleluia What a Saviour Alleluia All glory to God All glory to God You paid the heaviest price for sin Giving your life as an offering Wonderful love, so unfailing Glorious grace, so amazing Not to be served, you came to serve Sharing a love we did not deserve One day all people before their king Will lift one voice to sing Alleluia What a Saviour! Alleluia All glory to God All glory to God

Great song! Its really nice to see a Christmas song up, because there really are so few of them. And I like the piano and little bells - feels very Christmasy. Really like the chorus - simple but effective. Just one thing... in the line 'Emmanuel, holy Saviour', the HOLY feels really rushed - what if you rather said Emmaunuel and Saviour? Changing to one syllable might work a bit better. Trace
