about

This is an alternate version of my new Christmas song, This Christmastime. When I wrote this song in October I played the piano more in a pop/ballad style. Almost like a Carpenter's song. So it was really wild to see how the song would evolve when I brought on some extraordinary jazz musicians to give it more of a jazz style vibe!

It actually ended up sounding so different(in a good way). But there's something slightly somber about this version that I also like, so I figured I would give people options.

And it's called Taylor's Version because I'm just hoping to ride some of that T-Swift buzz to the top, haha.

lyrics

This Christmastime, let′s go somewhere new
We'll hop on a plane, walk down 5th Avenue
Or maybe save some money
Just go to the zoo

This Christmastime
This Christmastime
This Christmastime
Let′s go somewhere new

This Christmastime, let's do something grand
I hear those northern lights are gorgeous in Lapland
Or maybe we'll use our money to lend someone a hand

This Christmastime
This Christmastime
This Christmastime
Let′s do something new

Let′s do something new
As long as it's with you
Yeah let′s do something new
This Christmastime
