A great vocal, full of peaceful winter melancholy. Really well done.

What a great voice you have, Ivan. Fits perfect in this truly lovely and atmospheric composition.
Ps. Can’t help smiling when reading the tags “snow” and “Singapore” side by side like that.

I tag all my uploads with “Singapore” so that it’s easier to retrieve them (for me anyway). Anyway, tagging that contradictory combination wasn’t intentional, but now that you mentioned it HAHAHA!

Yes, the words were beautiful, weren’t they? (just imagine if they were still under the Big C and no one can reuse them… anyway) Thanks for listening!

Well then i will finish it today and load it up, although i will ensure everybody that without the vocals the song would not stand out as it does,

great!!!!

My wife wouldn’t use the words “beautiful” to describe my singing voice, LOL! You folks at ccMixter are just too kind. Thanks for listening and commenting, Vicky.

Lovely as twinkle lights on a tree. The sentiment comes through in the arrangement and the vocal.

Thanks! At first it was hard to figure out a consistent melody based on the piano sample. Glad you liked what turned up.

Hi Ivan, you have created a sentimental christmas classic. Great tune, great singing.

Hello! Maybe one day I’ll walk into a store (perhaps in the country where you live) and then hear a familiar tune being sung by carolers. And the song turns out to be this. Heh. Here’s to your health in the new year, friend.

Listening to this is pure bliss, CC. I love your voice and the whole piece is so tender, gentle and, yes, magical! The perfect Christmas song. I wish I could recommend you but as usual I’m sharing a router. xxxx

Oh, this review is better than a recommendation. Thanks, CiggiB. And it’s refreshing to be referred to as CC again, LOL. Have a safe year ahead.

This is extremely beautiful. Simple and so full of feeling.

If this doesn’t end up on the album, it will be a crime.
