The Ghost of Christmas Subjunctive Pluperfect
“The Ghost of Christmas Subjunctive Pluperfect” is a Christmas song — well, actually, it’s a post-Christmas song and should be listened to in January, exclusively.
This was my entry into the Metafilter “Holiday Song” challenge and is my first seasonal song ever.
I tried to sort of make everything into a big fuzzy mess this time, rather that have everthing really seperate and clear. There’s two autoharp tracks, one flanged and one thrumming steady quarter-notes on the bass strings. There’s marimba, of course, along with some other percussion, including a Kinder egg shell filled with rice, (briefly) sleigh bells, and a match being lit.
There’s the Mopho synth, some Micron organ, and, on the chorus, my “new” Piano Mandolette, which stays in tune for minutes at a time. Oh, and a harmonica!
