Dont Give Me Your Jingle Bells - 2025 - BaoBou

Thank you mr Groove! An early Merry Christmas and Slava Ukrain to you!

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

Spasibo! :) Thanks for stopping by and listening!

Thanks a lot Paul! Thanks for always listening and commenting, it's very much appreciated!

Hahaha good, that was the idea!

I guess I've been playing the same riffs for 6 years ;) thanks a lot as always for enjoying it my friend!

Thank you so much buddy! Glad I'm not the only one with that feeling ;)

Thank you so much! I can't ask for more than make the listener feel good!

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!

Thanks again :)

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!

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!!

Thank you so much! I'm so happy everyone made it all the way to the end :)

Dank je wel thank you so much Rita!

Hahaha that's awesome!! Much better than mine :D
Hahahaha I'm crying with laughter here.
BTW here's a quick clip for mine:

Thanks a lot buddy! Appreciated! & Happy Holidays!

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!
