Recently in "hogmanaychildren"
It's snowing in Paris, and I have just learned that the Christmas song I wrote with The Hogmanay Children has been released on the compilation album Chantons Noël avec Olga Records.
Admittedly, Like Every Christmas Eve may not be the happiest Christmas ditty you've ever heard, but with its mix of Japanese karaoke-style vocals in the first verse, a drunken church organ all the way through and some harmonies at the end that the Beach Boys would have died for, it still manages to be uplifting despite the somewhat morose subject matter.
Merry Christmas, and all that.
