catchy rock??? Listen for yourself.
Welcome, there isn't much to say that would make you understand what I do better than just letting you know who I am, which is Jay. I'm the kind of guy who would rather stay inside and write then go outside and play, forever. I'm the kind of guy who falls in love with almost everything, finds it hard to capture it all in a song so has to keep on going. I may be wrong but for me, a good songwriter can't be one that sits back and smells the coffee and relaxes, a real songwriter is basically (in a nice way) tormented by creation, and that is me.

Story behind the song
I love writing Christmas stuff, this is very silly. It's basically about this man talking about his past and how he still is paranoid that when the reindeer land on the roof of his house he's scared they'll crash through and kill him in his sleep. So yeah. You can laugh, it's meant to be silly. Merry Christmas September.
Lyrics
I couldn’t get to sleep each night on Christmas eve I’d go to bed when I was told like every year before goodnight and close the door I could barely keep my eyes held shut for Seconds at a time All the time imagining The reindeer on the roof were gonna fall right through and what was I to do Cause one Christmas they’d wake up and I’d be gone Our house just seemed so old it’s not though, I was told they’d tell me not to worry and to go right back to bed “just count some sheep instead, you’ll be just fine” but every sound I heard was certain doom stiff with fear inside my room So now, I’m fully grown with children of my own And Christmas eve they’re off to sleep I tuck them in to bed And pat them on the head And right before I leave the room I say without a doubt It’s bound to happen, please watch out, The reindeer on the roof They might just fall right through It may prove to be true And one Christmas you’ll wake up…and I’ll be gone.
