A while back a friend of mine heard me talking about it and they challenged me to write my own Christmas song. I gave it a shot and what came out was, in my opinion, one of the most straightforward and candid songs Iāve ever written. It doesnāt involve complex themes or abstract lyricism. It is just an honest exploration of the gut-wrenching feeling you have when you realize you have lost the place that your soul felt at peace.
I recorded this new stripped down version of it with just me and a felt piano for you guys. If you are another person for whom the holiday season is one of reflection on loss, I hope it comforts you and shows you you are not alone š¤

Lyrics:
Did it get colder this year?
Inside my room I see crystals of ice
Suspended pieces covered in glass
Snowbanks are falling on the sides of my bed
The sides of my bed
But it doesnāt snow here in Los Angeles
Abandoned roads, but theyāre warmā¦ Iām just losing it.
Everyoneās gone back to sweet places they call their homes
But I wander aimlessly
Canāt shake this chill from my bones
Cause where could I go to feel home, when my home was you?
Surrounded, but always alone
In this snow I canāt move
I feel that yearning to leave and belong somewhere new
But where could I go? Darling, you took my whole world with you

JUSTIN THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
It so well captures the beautiful, dulled palette of winter. Murky greys and whites, the deep purple-grey of cloudy winter skies, the rusty color of dying grass, and the deep blue of water before it begins freezingā¦Iāve always thought winter was so beautiful and unique. It feels heavy and dark, but in a way that is sacred and otherwordly, so it isnāt as simple as being āsadā like a lot of people describe it. Itās so much more than that. Iāve always loved this song so, so much, because it captures that incredibly. Those handful of acoustic songs you have are every bit as stunning as your other works, and I adore them, and Iām delighted to have this to enjoy now. Youāve outdone yourself as always.
I noticed it seems like youāve been really enjoying yourself lately with music and trust me, it shows <3
Iāve really enjoyed seeing you experiment with new styles and other artists. It really does feel like youāre having fun, but it never diminishes the depth or quality of your work, and thatās something I really admire as an artist. You inspire me so much (I literally owe the novel Iām planning to Exuvium, so thank you for that)!
PSā Datura was my #1 listened to song this year >:]
Keep it up dude!

oh my gosh, i listened to the original video so many times š so many good memories

That same feeling when you moved from a cold and gloomy place to a sunny and warm one, but the void inside of your soul didn't go away. Whatever, i would like to wish you (me either) to not surrender. You are not alone, you just not find yet a strong reason to keep exist

Amazingā¤

The description fits very well to what i feel about the christmas season. Never really experienced much of the happy stuff. Everyone around me, especially family, just pretended that everything is great and happy and shortly after it went back to the usual. Always felt so fake to me, thats why i still hate it and usually just sit by myself or with other similar people on discord.

December will always be a difficult month for me, not only because of the loss of someone but in addition to that, a sea of memories comes that hurts my heart, just yesterday I cried a little to remember all that and now listening to this song I felt comfort and also I wanted to cry again but I think it's part of healing.
thank you for making such beautiful pieces <3

This is the only christmas song that I know that actually representes the beautiful darkness of the winter season. I love this song!

This is by far one of my favorite songs youve ever made, ive been listening to it for years, everything you make is so raw and emotional and is just amazing to listen too. It makes my night drives home more enjoyable.
There was a time not long ago where i was in a dark place, driving home one night i had some really bad thoughts about driving just slightly left off a road and seeing what would happen to me.
In my random mix your song "your joy is your sorrow unmasked" played when i saw the bright, brilliant moon that night, all those thoughts melted away, and i made it home.
I listened to your songs everyday since that night. Hopefully one day i can see you preform live if thats an option.

this song means so much to me and have been with me through the darkest winters, so i'm especially glad it got re-imagined when your style evolved. i daresay i like this version better than the original. thank you so much for being with us. ā¤

Thank you so much for sharing this with us. For someone with no family, this time of the year is the hardest. It leaves me feeling like I'm missing something that I've lost.

Holy shit! It feels like Christmas

Something about this song has always hit a deep part of my soul in the most painful and beautiful way possible š i never expected an acoustic version to be released, so thank you for the present!

I really can't describe what your music does to me. This isn't the typical genre I listen to. I usually tend to listen to House music or Synthwave. But yet I enjoy a lot of the songs you release. It started back then when I first heard songs like "Anachronism" or "Neverland" and stretches till today. And others are just as confused about it since they know what I usually listen to. I just thought maybe these words might mean something to you.

God this year has been hard. Who knew thanksgiving would spiral me. Thank you for this. I hate that we are all hurting.. this lone feeling doesnāt feel so lonely anymore. Though the people I know think Iām so happy. Iām hurting and this song expresses it so well š„ā¤ļøāš©¹ I love you. And thank you. I needed this today.
