Merry Ex-Mas (ft Ian PH Clifford) by Overdrive published on 2023-12-16T21:48:16Z MERRY EX-MAS Music by Overdrive & Ian PH Clifford Check out the Merry Ex-Mas promo videos on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/C0_l7Vwu3Me/ https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18041521363593428/ This is my reinterpretation of the song Merry Ex-Mas, a brilliant piece by Ian PH Clifford. The original version is an absolutely beautiful track, just acoustic guitar and voice. I was so taken with the song that I immediately asked Ian if I could do a remix. He agreed and even after saying that I was interested in doing something punk or post-punk, Ian didn't shy away. So the original acoustic version went from 127 bpm to 160 bpm, and incorporated distorted guitars, pounding bass and frantic drums. It's a complete miracle that there are still people who want to do collabs with me, even though I mutilate songs like this. 😂 Merry Ex-Mas was #4 on the Repost/Exchange rock chart and I can only thank Ian for the opportunity to reinterpret a song that is already fantastic in itself.

LYRICS Something I’ve been thinking about a lot this week Is you’ve been in his arms longer than you were with me As the snow falls down outside and I’m sliding past your drive And I can see that you’re home But I am paralyzed, I won’t even try To say hello This winter feels longer than lifetimes I feel like I’ve lived and died a hundred times But I don’t cry anymore that wells dry down to the floor And now I’m outside of your front door And I’m not sure what I’m doing here Merry Christmas I guess I miss you to death The ribbon on my wrist is turning my hand blue I can’t wait till Christmas No I can’t wait till Christmas I said I’d never live another day without you No I can’t wait till Christmas No I can’t wait till Christmas Something I’ve just figured out Is why you had to leave Your heart is colder than ice And mine began to freeze As the snow falls down outside and I’m sliding past your drive And I can see that you’re home I am paralyzed, but I know I need to try To say hello This winter feels longer than lifetimes I feel like I’ve lived and died a hundred times But I don’t cry anymore that wells dry down to the floor And now I’m outside of your front door And I’m not sure what I’m doing here Merry Christmas I guess I miss you to death The ribbon on my wrist is turning my hand blue I can’t wait till Christmas No I can’t wait till Christmas I said I’d never live another day without you No I can’t wait till Christmas No I can’t wait till Christmas Genre Rock Comment by Voice of No-One 👊 2024-03-29T16:04:22Z Comment by The Bawl Slant Cool 👍 2024-02-04T18:04:07Z Comment by David Husted Music excellent track...merry christmas back atcha...a cool re-interpretation 2024-01-08T23:25:16Z Comment by G Ride Atmosphere Ride Type Situation love the punk rock christmas theme! 2024-01-02T01:08:57Z Comment by duxkingsmusic tune 🔁 2023-12-25T17:45:09Z Comment by Dj.Kino woow super 🖤 2023-12-25T16:59:28Z Comment by Tomgroove cool stuff ! 2023-12-21T15:42:47Z Comment by Ubiquity9 Nice one!
