Christmas Album?

[keyboardistmatt]

Noooooo!  This is wrong!!  Just wrong!!

[kmorse]

Take me to the Christmas tree
There are gifts under there
And they're waiting for me
Guide me to the Christmas tree
It's the place where I belong

[kmorse]

An Immortal? Christmas

Song List:

"Frozen"
"Waiting for the Sled"
"The Flutterby Man (a song about Santa)"
"Ghost (of Christmas Past) in the Firewall"
"Climbing the Chimney"
"The Santadrome"


I'm stuck on the last one. I need help. Maybe I need help on these others, too!

[kmorse]

There has to be a song about John's bicycle in there somewhere, too. Maybe "Climbing the Net" should become "Riding my Bike"

No for that we will use riding the tide. In that case we don't have to worry about the lyrics

Aaarrrrrggghhh!

Sung to the tune of "Solomon."

With apologies to Clive ....

In the distance
Barely in sight - patiently
flying t'ward me
All red and white - dressed up so fine
It's Kris Kringel,
Santa, St. Nick - just take your pick
Driving reindeer, through the night clear
Were you good or bad - even a tad?
Now is the time to decide ...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Marvelous!!!

Generally Christmas-themed songs make me cringe!  Too many Last Chrismases, Merry Christmases, Blue Christmases, Rocking round the Christmas trees, Driving home ... etc ... just add nauseam, three egg noggs, two drunken proggers and an alarm call to the fire brigade (Xanxa's burned the turkey!) 

But these re-writes of Arena lyrics are truly grinspirational!  Keep 'em coming!

I just got hands on a Trans Siberian Orchestra christmas song and I WANT that album!

Nice, very nice, though that link doesn't work for me. Can't open it. Bet it's good.

Only have that Beethoven's Last Night album and that really rocks. 

It makes me Soo happy. 

MAD. 

[Appelmoes??]

Does this help?

Oh, that one. I already saw this video on the Ayreon-forum like you did also.

Very relaxing. I'm doing that right now with my house. Expect to be finished at Christmass, next year. 

MAD.

Does this help?

Ooooooooh!  Pretty!

[keyboardistmatt]

Mmm... a Christmas album? So many possibilities... maybe just some small changes and we already have the material...?

From Songs, perhaps..... 'Valley of Three Kings'

Or from the Visitor.....'Pins and Pine Needles'
Come to that we could lighten up the tree theme for 'The Christmas Tree'

Of course From Immortal we could keep the snow and Ice image by changing the first track to 'Frozen'

Just a few thoughts.... A handfull of sleigh bells should do the rest...

I'm finding this a little difficult to handle, right now...
I know you'd write something for the occasion, Clive.

ARGH!!
What am I saying??

No. Too many christmas songs in the world.

Matt, come on... it's christmas!  **Pleeease?**

...

*With a cherry on top?*

......ok.  *Yay!*

But, if you do, write a new song.  And if you must cover a song do something like Greg Lake's - "I Believe In Father Christmas".

[gelert]

Does this help?

Ah yes, "Amityville Horror goes disco"...mmmmm...nice! 

[Appelmoes??]

*Kick*

So is the '10 Years On' album considered as the Christmas album, or should we stil bug Clive to write a True Trans-Siberian Orchestra-ish christmas album?
