Shush Now Be Quiet

So I sat down to play the piano a week or two ago and ended up writing a Christmas carol. I was a bit surprised as it wasn't what I was thinking of doing lol, but I figure, don't fight it.

So along with my Christmas Carol debut, this track is also my first vocal track for this blog. I've tried to make it sound more like I was singing into a mic and have added a few effects to the supporting vocals, but other than that the vocals are all me. I've recorded it all in one take and I haven't bothered to go back through and correct some of the notes I didn't quite hit because I ran out of time on the weekend and I want to post it now :) I'm not generally brave enough to sing in front of people so please be kind! I wanted to share this song and without words it's just not the same. Here goes!

Lyrics:

Shush Now Be Quiet

Shush now be quiet, Santa's on his way

To visit you tonight

If you've been good he'll be upon his sleigh

Before the morning light

Shush now be quiet, hop into your bed

You must go to sleep

A busy night for the big man in red

So hush now not a peep!

Shush now be good 'cause Rudolph's coming near

Across the moonlit sky

He's got a bright red nose and fluffy ears

He's Santa's special guide

Shush now be good because they're nearly here

You must go to sleep

They're bringing toys and games and Christmas cheer

So hush now not a peep!
