This is the final song of this year’s batch of 52-second songs. I made it! Somehow I found the energy and time and ideas to create 52 songs. Right now I’m just happy that next week I won’t have to come up with yet another short song.

The final installment was written during, you guessed it, Christmas. After listening to some boogie woogie I decided to rock around the Christmas tree a bit. Nothing fancy, but I like it.

#52 Boogie Woogie Weihnachten

Boogie Woogie Weihnachten
Boogie Woogie Weihnachten
Boogie Woogie Weihnachten
Boogie Woogie Weihnachten
Boogie Woogie Weihnachten
Und einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr

Boogie Woogie Weihnachten
Boogie Woogie Weihnachten
Boogie Woogie Weihnachten
Boogie Woogie Weihnachten
Boogie Woogie Gänsebraten
Der Weihnachtsmann kommt zu Fuß
Die Rentiere haben den Blues

This is based on a true story. There is also a video of me recording the song.

#51 Almut und Thomas

Almut und Thomas sitzen am Tresen
Almut trinkt Becks und Thomas trinkt Bier

Die Show auf der Bühne war lustig gewesen
Auf einer Likert-Skala von 1 bis 5 da war es eine 4
Die Tanzfläche kehren sie jetzt mit einem Besen
Wie dem auch sei, es gefällt ihnen hier
Almut und Thomas sitzen am Tresen
Almut trinkt Becks und Thomas trinkt Bier

This is a last minute effort. I just played around, kept something, played some more, kept some more, mixed it, saved it, put it online. The title is a working title. I wish I could offer something more adequate, but it’s late and it would be too sad to miss the weekly deadline so close to New Year’s Eve. Anyway, this instrumental song features guitars and reverb.

#50 Remi

This is a pop music fragment. There’s also a bridge that didn’t fit into th 52-second format. If I ever get to produce an album with Chris de Burgh (hah!) I’ll pull this one out of the archive for sure.

#49 Hold Me

I don’t want to be the one
To turn away and say the word goodbye
Cause I know that you’re the one
To bring me through the night

So won’t you hold me, hold me
Take me in your arms
Why won’t you hold me, hold me
And I will be all right with you tonight
