Merry Christmas everyone.
Starting from last year, I started writing and producing a Christmas song and hope that I ll always get the chance to keep doing that.
This time around I had the opportunity during one of my off days and I was working on a beat supposed to be used for my "#beatmonday" post in the 
I made a Christmas single, for the year, and I could tell it was much better than the one I made last year. Link here.
Speaking of Sound production.. I think I m begin in to see myself become a better music producer as so much has been learnt but I had challenges practicing, but from my time on hive and three speaks, I have been able to break those limitations.
Picture of ableton work space on the song
From my last video on #beatmonday, you must have noted that I used FL studios, but that was where I had started from several years back, almost 4years actually. But as much as I love FL so much, It is actually more time consuming and very meticulous about so many settings and plugins, most of which I can't really afford, I feel my kind of music is more on the go, so I need a faster, ready to go presets as I find on Ableton.
I have recently switched to Ableton, and do more with it this year. I love Ableton too.
SONG BREAK DOWN
For this song Idea I started with the drums, then added the chords and went to find the base plugin I could use, and then I complimented the bass with a synth bass.
The drums were then supplemented with some shakers and some talking drums.
With these alone we had a beat to rock to and it was really tight.
I went on to add my vocals and then blended in the guitar chords.
I loved playing those chords on my guitar, care not to have covered the keyboard chords earlier layered.
If you really know what I mean, at this stage of music production, its really hard to tell when a song is complete. Because the creative mind just keeps suggesting different Ideas to you. I m sure 
So I tried adding one more thing, a brass.. But it didnt fit in.. I wanted it up serve as an accompaniment for the a particular harmony. But I didnt like it so I muted it and instead played a solo guitar all through. How this will sound in your ears.. I m not sure but I gave it some effects and made it a bit dirty.
I went on to add some finishing touches to the vocals and gave some good reverbs and echoes.
I love music making.. I listened over and over to see any thing was wrong.. And sure I found some other things I had to tweak and made sure I was saving as I went on.
I posted the song in Audiomack and Audius with my account as Jaydeedoc Music (not jaydr😎)
The Song Lyrics
O dey Ooo (He has come)
Okunrin Ogun dey (The Lord of Host has come)
oh yeah
There is a new born king
In Bethlehem
His name is Jesus Christ
He has come to take
Our sins away
He reigns forever more
There is a new born king
In Bethlehem
His name is Aladewura Okunrin ogun
He has come to take
all our sins and shame
His reign is forever more
Unto us a son is given
True, our sins forgiven
Now we have eternal life.
We have come to tell the reason
For this Christmas season
We are blessed because he came
Unto us
A Child is born
Unto us
A son is given
The Government
Shall be upon his shoulder
Unto us
Unto us
Unto us
A child is born
Unto us
A son is given
the government
shall be upon his shoulder
Unto us
Unto us
He made peace between
God and Man
He has brought joy to world.
He can take your shame
And give you happiness
He has come for this very end
His name is
Wonderful
Counsellor
The mighty God, The everlasting father, The prince of peace.

I went on extract for first hearing as my usual, for song I want to promote and then. Listen to it like a loner.. Not minding it at all.. I feel some parts of music shines out and calls attention so I wanted to see if there was any mistake or some form of missed beat. I may have missed some, but I sure caught some.
Then a final copy was extracted after the final changes and off I went to my Audiomack account where I usually upload songs.. Although I have very few followers there despite thousands of plays.. I need follows please follow me in the link.
I recently heard of Audius and the wonders it can do, but I need to learn to know just how to go about it, nevertheless I also made an upload there. And I think someone like it.
Here is a video lyrics of the song and I ll be glad you all listened to it and enjoyed it.
Thanks so much for the support.
