Listen To Dont Give Me Your Jingle Bells - 2025 Rock Song By BaoBou | Looperman

Description : Updated for 2025!
===============
I'm not a fan of Christmas songs and I've long wanted to write an anti-Christmas song... Last year I suddenly had a piano riff that became a song. Sometimes songs come easy and you know instinctively what you want to do with them, I guess... and sometimes an anti-Christmas song turns into a Christmas song :)

Last year's version was a bit messy so I cleaned it up a bit. I might bring this one out as a single... what do you think?

Fun track! Not so much this one, but often your music reminds me of Steely Dan for some reason. Nice sneaky wee message at the end too, thanks!

Yeah 100%. Currently working on another very Dannish track, but I guess this one had a bit more Paul Weller/The Jam in it :)

I can hear some of the first stuff i ever heard from u here, but theres some other elements here, too - youve grown as an artist, and so ur like a painter or craftsman who begins to add flourishes that are recognizable as their work. It might be a work in progress, but its further along than some would think. I always enjoy hearing wat youve been up to.

You do have active tracks very fast pace. You probably do well on some drum and bass tracks. That's pretty good man you know when you're in the zone you're in the zone like you said that you come easy to you and when you try to force something it doesn't come out right to right wow that's something that I'm just putting stuff together you're doing that and writing you need to be a teacher of music lol I'm still trying to learn notes when I hear them and what keys they should be in. Okay so you said you found the piano riff but you at the guitar and the other keys did you play those instruments? Pro work my friend. I still want the tree but to smoke of course lol

I grew up playing piano, "recorder" (those wooden flutes) and violin; I added guitar, bass and drums later. The drums in this track are not mine of course, I prefer to use a good sample if I find one but sometimes I'll use my electronic drum kit to create a rhythm if I can't find what I'm looking for.

The piano will always be my comfort place - if I try to figure out a tune or chords, I always picture a piano keyboard, even when I'm playing guitar or singing. But the guitar is sort of my happy place, my aspiration, it's where I create melodies.
Interestingly (to me anyway), I create quite different things on the piano, guitar and vocals, and I often eg sing something that I created on the guitar, or take some chords from piano to the guitar to see how they behave there.
I'm definitely not a music teacher - thanks for the compliments though :) I'm just an old man with way too many melodies in my head, too many instruments and a severe case of ADHD ;)

Happy holidays buddy!

Hey BaoBou, that's one way to really enjoy the Christmas season. It's nice when everyone sits in church with full bellies and snores peacefully. But I have to admit that as a child I fought against the idea that Santa Claus doesn't exist...LOL. Great track! Happy holidays!!!
Cheers,
Micky

BaoBou replied 24th Dec 2024 - 1 year ago
Hahaha, as a Dutch person both Santa and the church need to be questioned ;)
We are both music lovers and that's the main thing. Thanks for listening and enjoying the track and have a great holiday period my friend!

When you stated that this was an anti-Christmas song, I didn't really know what I was gonna end up hearing. Firstly, this is definitely NOT an anti-Christmas song. It's more about what is more important than a single day out of the year (my take, anyways). The chorus is BRILLIANT--the best part of the track by far. From a lyricist point of view, the verses need a bit of tweaking--they don't stand up to that chorus. So, I hope you will consider that, because I believe this could be a great not-so-much-of-an-anti-Christmas-song! Definitely one I would sing. Well done!

LovePeace&Light,

Mykael

That's a very good call Mykael! I wrote and recorded the whole thing in a couple hours and the lyrics (and the vocals) definitely suffered. There's also bits of the drumming and the guitar I want to improve, but you're right, the vocals and lyrics are the higher prio.
My plan is to take the weekend and the Christmas break to improve both a bit - then next year November or so give it another go and produce a brand-new fresh and improved version for that holiday season. And man, the idea of you singing my song... that's a dream!!

HAha IT's not very poppy I guess - it felt more like punk, almost, especially with Animal on the drums throughout the track. But if you had fun and you started wiggling your toes throughout the track then I'm good!

Description : "Celebrate the Cornerstone," penned by Kay Matteson, John Matteson, and Richard Shekari, is an uplifting contemporary worship song that beautifully encapsulates themes of salvation and divine love. Drawing from biblical imagery, the lyrics highlight Jesus as the Chief Cornerstone—initially rejected but ultimately essential to faith.
