More Christmasy tracks and Vol 2 of this year’s carols that are remixed to the future. This time it’s all Synthwave or synthy tracks. Again I picked my favourite and some of them I liked and sang in school. It’s been a few years since I made a Christmas carol album so I thought I would make it and remake it more synth as the title does say synthmas so it does suggest lots of use from synthesizers. Again just to point out the obvious merry synthymas is a sort of play on the words merry Christmas and has the words synthesizer and Christmas in the title. I only know the most famous carols and Christmas hymns so it was hard to make up another 12-track album with new songs so I decided to remake my favourite and choose some other’s I didn’t consider last time. Watch Their Flock is the hymn Whilst Shepherds Watch Their Flock By Night and is a Christmasy Synthwave track with the 80s drums and Christmasy synthesizers which I think make the songs on this one and has that Christmas feel to it I think. It’s not one of my favourites on the album but I enjoy it and would be something or something I would listen to around Christmas. Holly is from the Christmas carol The Holly And The Ivy and has this Christmas feel to it with something that sounds a bit like a Haripschord with the fat bass over it. It has an 80s feel to it too and I would describe it as a bit mellow and a bit Hip Hopy with the synths that play after the main melody of the song and carry the song making it a bit different from the last version. The next song Christmas Tree is from the Christmas song O Tannenbaum or Oh Christmas Tree I like the laid back but melodic and uncertain feel to it and brings it into the future. It’s one of my favourite carols to sing even though I have forgotten all the lyrics but I like the melody to it and the ending to each bit which does get tiring on the singing side but it’s a nice Christmas song I think. The next track Ye Merry is from God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen and is something a little bassy, dancy and a bit different and also fun. I like the fun side to this song and isn’t necessarily Christmasy but might be fun for the Christmas party with alcohol involved. Like all the songs it has an 80s backdrop with the drum patterns which I made myself and love doing 80s drum patterns, especially electro stuff. Night Silent the next track is from Silent Night and is something a bit different to the album and Christmas. Well, I say that something samey something different. I like the calm feel of it and the different synths which can be heard from the start of the first synth. It’s one of my favourites on the album as I think it’s quite a soothing song to listen to and also Christmasy. Three Ships is from the hymn I Saw Three Ships Sailing In and is a funky Synthwave track. It’s also another bassy track and an old favourite one to sing to and reminds me of school and also singing it in church Christmas time in the early 2000s. Noel is from the hymn First Noel and another favourite on the album. I like the calm and soothing feel that reminds me of Christmas and winter. It’s a good track to unwind and just relax by the fire or whatever which is what it reminds me of. Ye Faithful the next track is from Come On Ye Faithful and is another favourite on the album as I like the Christmasy jolly feel to it which starts at the beginning of the track. I also like the bass and the chorus to the track which is the main bit of the song and is repeated a few times. It definitely reminds me of Christmas and again is something I would play around Christmas and hopefully you do too. The next track This Child is from What Child Is This and is again one of my favourites on the album as I like the electro bass to it and the Christmas feel to it. It has a whole lot of bounce to it which I like and the standard drum patterns but I think the bass makes the song with the synthesizer you hear at the beginning of the track and goes throughout the track. The next track Good King is from Good King Wenceslas and is another jolly upbeat version of the song and isn’t my favourite but I like it all the same. I like the upbeat feel to it and is one of my favourite hymns to sing and is one of my favourites overall. I think it’s another song that reminds me of Christmas and is something to get drunk with or have fun doing whatever you think is fun. The next track Three Kings is from We Three Kings Of Orient Are and again one of my favourites on the album as I like the bass and the synths which make it funky. I also like the bits of the chorus which I think makes the song with the bit before that. I would say it’s my favourite overall track on the album and also reminds me of winter but especially the holidays. The last track on the album and to finish this edition of Merry Synthmas is Lang Syne and is from the New Year’s song Old Langs Syne and as if I had to tell you that. It has a calm feel to bring in the New Year of 2024 and is not something I have done before or considered to have the Merry Synthmas album but I thought I put it on as something different and relaxing. Well if you celebrate Christmas or whatever you celebrate have a nice Christmas and also a Happy New Year or though I’ll be posting more during that time just in case Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year.
