H1K0-h0-h00! Merry (late) Christmas and Happy (late) New Year!

Coolstory time.

Do you remember the Christmas track I made 3 years ago? This one.

Then, do you recognize that melody from intro and koda? Or those harmonies in bridge and chorus? Right, they all originate from Reindeer Team.

Though it's already been three years since I made it, I still consider Reindeer Team as one of my best projects. Especially I love those natural and light melodies and harmonies. But actually I'm not very satisfied with the sound design and arrangement of it so I really wanted to remix or remaster it someday.

As it usually happens to me, I did rearrange it toooooo late - around December 8th - and suggested @KicKReprod making it a Christmas song. He wrote lyrics in a week but because of f.....g school and exams we didn't have time to go to studio and record it. The day we finally recorded vocals is December 29th. Too late for Christmas and New Year, so we decided to release it at our ZingerS' New Year! In other words, on the day @ZingerS was created - the day @KicKReprod dropped me the lyrics of Stay Alive.

So, here it is! The song I'm really proud of! So proud so I'm thinking of making some more tracks with this sound design.

P.S. Just take a look at the cover of this song. As previous, it's designed by me. The photo was taken on December 31th by our friend (not registered in NG so let him be uncredited) in Kuskovo park. There was almost no snow, but fortunately we managed to find a little area with some snow to lie on like a SNOWFLAKE.

P.P.S. Some guys can notice that although almost all the harmonies were taken from Reindeer Team, no one melody was. In vocals, I mean. There're two reasons to it. Firstly, the melodies from Reindeer Team are rather difficult to sing because of wide tonal range. Maybe, as a professional musician, I'd manage to sing them, but no way @KicKReprod. Secondly, when I completed the instrumental track, I actually didn't invent a melody for verses as long as they are (the only) original parts in the song. So, while writing lyrics, @KicKReprod had to think of some easier melodies.

Hello everyone, @KicKReprod is back in place. This is our second song. It will appear on digital platforms on the anniversary of the creation of our group. Yes, writing words to it was a challenge: it's not so easy to find a rhyme when your mother comes into your room from time to time to check how you do your homework. But the result, as for me, was successful. And let you, fans of @ZingerS, while a little. But there is a whole year ahead: at least 2 singles can be expected in the winter and spring. Don't switch!

LYRICS:

[Intro]

- Cool time goes away. But I feel like it's going to be even cooler.

- The same thing, man. It was a year of discovery, a year of opportunity. It's time to say "Adios".

[Verse 1]

We are stepping into a new life,

Seeing off the past day and year,

Lift your eyes to this beautiful sunshine,

For all the failures we don't care.

Life goes faster and faster,

Sometimes you cannot watch the time,

So appreciate every moment,

Which you will be able to find.

[Bridge]

Bring me a bunch of snowflakes

That fell near the cold lake,

There is no end to it.

Look at the view from mountain,

All stars can be counted,

As long they exist.

[Chorus]

Christmas paradise:

I really can imagine.

Look into my eyes:

How about some magic?

Let's go there again,

Where the dreams come true.

Let's forget the pain,

And joy will come to you.

[Verse 2]

It is going to be an incredible year,

And I'm feeling myself very cool.

There will be an amazing atmosphere,

When we finally reach our goals.

Day after day the story goes on,

And every time we write something new.

Failures, I tell you, please leave us alone,

There is nothing we can't get through.

[Bridge]

Bring me a bunch of snowflakes

That fell near the cold lake,

There is no end to it.

Look at the view from mountain,

All stars can be counted,

As long they exist.

[Chorus x2]

Christmas paradise:

I really can imagine.

Look into my eyes:

How about some magic?

Let's go there again,

Where the dreams come true.

Let's forget the pain,

And joy will come to you.
