Hey guys

Merry christmas.

The Surf School Dropouts have had fun recording an original christmas song with Phil Spector's wall of sound approach. It's called 'Another Christmas with You' and I hope you'll give it a listen here:

https://surfschooldropouts.bandcamp.com/album/another-christmas-with-you-single

We've used everything but the kitchen sink for this one. 4 acoustic guitars strumming in unison + 2 acoustics fingerpicked, glockenspiels galore, lots of sleigh bells, strings and the odd castanet. And of course tried our best to make the drums sound like Hal Blaine having a field day at Gold Star! Grin
There's an instrumental version via the link besides the vocal take...

Any opinions?

Not bad at all, I like it. It beats the traditional Christmas songs, which I am sick to death of  LOL
Great Job!

Thanks Mr. Wilson. Glad you liked it. I think the bridge parts you're referring to are actually what we envisioned as chorus. That is, if you're referring to the 'Remember last year' part...  Cheesy I guess the song is a bit odd in it's structure which could explain the bridge comment.

Anyways, thanks for listening & commenting!

A bridge too far.
