Originally released on streaming in December 2023, a new YouTube video for "Charlie Brown Christmas Tree" has been created for the 2024 holiday season to celebrate my festive tribute to a small artificial tree from my first Christmas in Clare, back in 1998.
I made the video with VideoProc using free clips from Pexels and shooting a few shots from around the basement. To create a nostalgic vibe, I added a retro TV filter and fuzzy transitions to evoke going back in time.
If you watch the video long enough, you'll see some old Polaroid photos from my (and wife Joelle's) childhood holidays with our families during the 1970s and 80s.
Poignant lyrics recall childhood memories as melancholic vocals blend with uplifting synths riffs, bells and piano to create a nostalgic soundscape.
Some 25 plus years later, I still hold on to the ragged yet symbolic "Charlie Brown” Christmas tree, now embraced by my wife Joelle who sings soothing backing vocals.
For a detailed review of the single and video, I invite you to read this blog article by Dulaxi based in the United States.
Hope you enjoy! Stay tuned for a new single coming winter 2025. Like the last few years, I'll be taking some extra time off from my day job over the Christmas break to tweak a few demos and plan for the next release.
