Yuletide Song: Share the Joy Around the Fire

(0 comments)

It's the season of Yuletide once again, a time of darkness and dreary weather, but also a time of partying inside every home. The harvest is gathered in, and the folk are mostly lounging around eating and staying warm and doing indoor tasks until it's time to get ready to head to the fields again. This song is intended to be purely about joy and comfort inside during the harsh weather, and also about welcoming everyone into the hall whether or not they are known friends, because when the weather is dangerous it is important to be a refuge to anybody.

Musically, this should be pretty straightforward: 3 chords and some piece of the truth. I will mention that the biggest challenge of singing it is the syllables that flow over 2-4 notes but not much more than that, which is very easy to get a bit pitchy on. But no matter, the point of songs like this is to have fun with it, not to worry too much about the details. I added some jingles because why not?

That means, in short, you can use them yourself and your grove, and play the song to your heart's content both in private and in public, but must give credit where credit is due, and if you're planning on selling something involving this song we need to talk about that first.
