about

After travelling Europe for over a year and finding themselves in Paris again come November, and with an old but new 6-string friend joining them, the scene was set for SoulJahm's first recording. Walking through the Parisian streets and inspired by the Christmas window displays, another old friend decided it was time to revisit them. The song "Christmas (C'mon)" was originally written in November 2003 in Edinburgh, Scotland by David William (of SoulJahm), a few years before his 2006 "One Way Ticket" album.

It was a surprise to find the song re-emerging in November 2011, with only a week left in Paris, and immediately after arrival of David's guitar from Edinburgh, but SoulJahm followed through. That day felt like Christmas morning as a child, and before they even had time to think about it, SoulJahm found themselves laying down tracks for the song in the tiny one-room Parisian apartment they were staying in with nothing more than a laptop and one microphone.

In the middle of the process they headed to Berlin where recording was completed, mixed and mastered.

lyrics

Greetings the time arrives again
Before we know what's come
Winter moves in and takes it's place
A shadow at the door

The leaves will fall and leave you lost
There must be some way back
Move forward with deliverance
Stay strong
Stand tall

Christmas c'mon
Sing for the One
Christmas c'mon
Be nowhere
Christmas c'mon
Raising you up
Christmas c'mon
Don't despair

See through your eyes a different world
There's nothing there to change
Here's to the New Year brightly fade
Away
Away

Be nowhere
Be nowhere
