Santa Baby Cover // musician edition

It was December 21, 2018 and I was bored as hell. I actually had a concert on that day at Cafe Kaiserfeld (which was really cool by the way) and had nothing else to do than practice for that concert. I always knew that I wanted to cover a Christmas song, but I never got to that point where I actually did it. A couple of days before December 21 I was partying with friends, getting a bit tipsy, talking about music (Christmas songs in particular) and one girl had the great idea of covering Santa Baby. And I thought "Oh well, the original lyrics are shit so why not make my own version?". So this is how I ended up in my pjs, two days later, changing the lyrics of Santa Baby, recording the whole thing and making the most stupid music video, that has ever existed, in one day.

I know that this blogpost is very late, but if you happen to watch my video now in February, have fun! 

Lyrics:

Santa baby, slip a keytar under the tree for me

Been an awful good girl

Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby, a 61 midi keyboard too, 

light blue

I'll wait up for you, dear

Santa baby, and  hurry down the chimney tonight

Think of all the mics I’ve kissed

Now think of all the chords that I haven't missed

Next year I could be also good

If you'll check off my Christmas list

Santa baby, I want a mic and really that's not a lot

Been an angel all year

Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa honey one thing that I really do need, the code

To an ableton live

Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with a drum pad and gigs

Sign your 'x' on the line

Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Come and trim my Christmas tree

With decorations from the korg company

I really do believe in you

Now let's see if you believe in me

Santa baby, forgot to mention one thing for me, LP

I don't mean someone else’s

Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight 

Hurry down the chimney tonight 

Hurry, tonight

alright alright

I know this blogpost is very overdue, but I was actually planning to write a big ass post about the premiere of this music video at the cinema, the whole day, add pictures we took and explain everything that happened in detail.

Turned out we actually had more video footage of that day than pictures so there's actually going to be a super cool video about that day, kinda like a vlog I guess?, with a new song too. So stay tuned for that one!

and for everyone who is confused by me talking about a premiere in a cinema - here's a short explanation:

a couple of months ago a very good friend of mine, Elisa, was told to make a short draft for a music video for University and luckily I was the one she asked to do it with. After finishing that short draft we decided (or I convinced her?) to make a whole music video out of it. So we filmed more footage and months later the baby was finished. Because it was the "very first traditional professional typical music video" I wanted to give it the attention it deserved and decided to show it for the first time in a cinema. Not just any cinema, but the amazing KIZ RoyalKino (the cinema that I actually work at. coincidence? I think not.) Long story short: on December 16, 2018 I ended up having a SOLD OUT music video premiere and a concert at a cinema. It was one of the best days of my whole life.

Lyrics:

When I was younger

Just weeks ago

I still remember

the pain and sorrow

now I tell myself

The past is past

and our love mess

could never last

so I try to forget the good memories that still please my heart

slowly I realise that it takes time to heal 

but art will grow

When I am older

I have one wish

I want a soul there

 who feels the same

so I make a wish

for that special one

while in my head I quietly realise

that I need to be that one

so I try to forget the good memories that still please my heart

slowly I realise that it takes time to heal 

but art will grow
