So, maybe some Christmas carol for a change? 😉
This time I decided to make a cover of old Polish carol, which is yet from XIX century.
I always thought this composition is beautiful and has big potential.
This year I tried to make something with it and hope it's nice. 🙂
Give me some feedback if You like.

The story behind this production is funny. It was on the Sunday, 18th December, when my brother was preparing for performing some Christmas carols live on a guitar as a part of work's Christmas Eve. I helped him find some more complex chords using GarageBand as a synthesizer. Then in the late night (ca. 2 am) I decided to put on headphones and to try to make something with it myself.
By the way, we had some funny situation before. We found two completely different chords which fit in the same place. My brother chose one, while I was for the latter, which made me confused (maybe this chord I'd chosen don't really fit? I have to check it!). And that's how this cover was created. 😉
The next days I was recording new parts up to today (22nd December), when I recorded the ending (which came into my head yesterday while walking to university) and finished the production and mastering.

And well, enough history, I think. 😛

I wish You all merry, merry Christmas and happy New Year 2023. I hope this upcoming year will be much better than this was (well, as You all know, there were very sad events in the 2022).

However, thank You very much for this year and for all purchases You've made (You're great!). I hope that future content will be interesting and, well, will be at all - I'm afraid I'll have much less time next year, than I had now. I hope I'll be able to take some time for making music, but I still don't know anything. Well, stay tuned. 😉

Have a nice evening!
Magnetic-Fox.

lyrics

VERSE 1 / ZWROTKA 1

O gwiazdo Betlejemska,
zaświeć nad niebem mym,
Tak szukam cię wśród nocy,
tęsknię za światłem twym.
Zaprowadź do stajenki,
leży tam Boży Syn,
Bóg Człowiek z Panny Świętej,
dany na okup win.

VERSE 2 / ZWROTKA 2

O, nie masz Go już w szopce,
nie masz Go w żłóbku tam.
Więc gdzie pójdziemy, Chryste?
Gdzie się ukryłeś nam?
Pójdziemy przed ołtarze
wzniecić miłości żar
i hołd Ci niski oddać,
to jest nasz wszystek dar.

VERSE 3 / ZWROTKA 3

Ja nie wiem, o mój Panie,
któryś miał w żłobie tron,
czy dusza moja biedna
milsza Ci jest niż on.
Ulituj się nade mną,
błagać Cię kornie śmiem,
gdyś stajnią nie pogardził,
nie gardź i sercem mym.

Music is my real love. I love composing and producing it. In fact, it's my greatest hobby. I'm doing it since ca. 2000 year.
