As the nights grow longer and the days become grey and dark a little melancholy settles over us.  As the month draws to a close we start to think of our family and friends.  This manifests in a frenzy of activity which ends with a quick resolution and collapse before we prepare for what the next trip around the star we call Sol brings.

December - Thanks for listening.

nice wookie!
where did you get the piano sound?

man, those bells are very prominant, frequency wise....
maybe a bit hot in the mix, just cuz they are so piercing......
but what a great sound.
i like the sustain on them....
reminds me of playing handbells in choir at church when i was a lad.....

Very nice Wookiee - I also really like the bells - I can imagine running around Woolies getting all of the last minute stuff

Ahh, the bells.  I like them, too, though I also think they're a bit prominent in the mix.  I'm wishing for more dynamics overall, as well.  Maybe some volume swells on the runs, or some volume changes throughout?  All in all, you've captured December in my part of the globe quite well.  I'm just starting to get used to it ;)

I think that you have done a great job in capturing the sounds of winter and the sounds and feelings of the holiday season.  To me the bells not only remind me of icicles but of the bells of Christmas.  I appreciate the way that you think out what you are trying to present in a song.
 
Well done!

I too felt bifurcated.  Happy or sad?  It's right there between the icicles and the christmas bells like freddy said.  That's what winter is to me, binary;  just extremes, no middle ground.  Holidays have always been more spooky and wacky than comforting with the feelings of togetherness.  If I had my druthers, I'd be in palm springs and forget this dreariness  in the PAC NW.

Nice job! I do agree about the bells being a little hot. I listened with ear buds. I'm sort into that cool whirlly organ sound with the evil chords countering the bells. Nice!

Thank you Bat, Bells to hot noted, I was a little unsure about them but a simple fix.  The Piano sound is from Korg's Wavestation with a little tweak to bring up one of the underlying sounds.

Thank you Daryl, Woollies is long gone but seems to have been replaced by a enterprise called The Range.

Thank you Lynn, the Bells can be sorted just a simple fix appreciate you having a listen and commenting. 

Thank you Freddy, glad you enjoyed it.

You made a high quality song again. Also I like how you are able to express your ideas by writing words. Possibly you could add some Christmasy sleigh bell sounds in one or two places but it might not work as your production already sounds complete. But I do like that sound. Also all the Instrument sounds you used were fab.
