Crywolf - 12.25.16 [untitled christmas song] (acoustic version)

- Am I the only one who secretly hates Christmas music? It’s always felt like a bit of a spit in the face of the somber emotional palette this season has in my mind.
A while back a friend of mine heard me talking about it and they challenged me to write my own Christmas song. I gave it a shot and what came out was, in my opinion, one of the most straightforward and candid songs I’ve ever written. It doesn’t involve complex themes or abstract lyricism. It is just an honest exploration of the gut-wrenching feeling you have when you realize you have lost the place that your soul felt at peace.
I recorded this new stripped down version of it with just me and a felt piano for you guys. If you are another person for whom the holiday season is one of reflection on loss, I hope it comforts you and shows you you are not alone 🤍

Lyrics:
Did it get colder this year?
Inside my room I see crystals of ice
Suspended pieces covered in glass
Snowbanks are falling on the sides of my bed
The sides of my bed
But it doesn’t snow here in Los Angeles
Abandoned roads, but they’re warm… I’m just losing it.
Everyone’s gone back to sweet places they call their homes
But I wander aimlessly
Can’t shake this chill from my bones
Cause where could I go to feel home, when my home was you?
Surrounded, but always alone
In this snow I can’t move
I feel that yearning to leave and belong somewhere new
But where could I go? Darling, you took my whole world with you.

This song went straight into the heart ;-; I'm always amazed how you can turn something sad into something so beautiful and comforting with your music
It's one of my favorite aspects of music, and art in general.
One of my all time favorite Crywolf songs! This acoustic version is just as good as the original ❤
Thank you
@@CrywolfLove you King
one of the most underrated artists I know. Been a fan since 2015
That same feeling when you moved from a cold and gloomy place to a sunny and warm one, but the void inside of your soul didn't go away. Whatever, i would like to wish you (me either) to not surrender. You are not alone, you just not find yet a strong reason to keep exist
oh my gosh, i listened to the original video so many times 😭 so many good memories
can't believe its been 7 years since the original, how time flies
Holy shit! It feels like Christmas
Amazing❤
Thank you 🙏
@@Crywolf You're a huge inspiration of mine, been writing again after listening to Cataclysm over and over❤️
I remember when you posted the original version..it got me through a tough Christmas after losing my mother. Thanks
December will always be a difficult month for me, not only because of the loss of someone but in addition to that, a sea of memories comes that hurts my heart, just yesterday I cried a little to remember all that and now listening to this song I felt comfort and also I wanted to cry again but I think it's part of healing.
thank you for making such beautiful pieces
I'm not a fan of christmas and that kind of music, but this is just beautiful and heart warming. thank you :)
JUSTIN THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
It so well captures the beautiful, dulled palette of winter. Murky greys and whites, the deep purple-grey of cloudy winter skies, the rusty color of dying grass, and the deep blue of water before it begins freezing…I’ve always thought winter was so beautiful and unique. It feels heavy and dark, but in a way that is sacred and otherwordly, so it isn’t as simple as being “sad” like a lot of people describe it. It’s so much more than that. I’ve always loved this song so, so much, because it captures that incredibly. Those handful of acoustic songs you have are every bit as stunning as your other works, and I adore them, and I’m delighted to have this to enjoy now. You’ve outdone yourself as always.
I noticed it seems like you’ve been really enjoying yourself lately with music and trust me, it shows :]
Keep it up dude!
The description fits very well to what i feel about the christmas season. Never really experienced much of the happy stuff. Everyone around me, especially family, just pretended that everything is great and happy and shortly after it went back to the usual. Always felt so fake to me, thats why i still hate it and usually just sit by myself or with other similar people on discord.
Stunning work Justin
☺
This is the only christmas song that I know that actually representes the beautiful darkness of the winter season. I love this song!
that's *exactly* what the holiday season has become for me. between thanksgiving (usually; it was thanksgiving day the year it happened) -- and new years is an obstacle course of the anniversaries of the deaths of. people who died too young*. who i miss; who this world was robbed of by a variety of fucked up systems.
(believe it or not) i'm a little more at peace with it than i used to be, but sometimes i want to be able to just sit with being sad. i do like the original but i think this version just NAILS that.

*(with one exception, my grandfather, who lived an incredibly long and vibrant life and was ready to go, i just miss him).
Thank you very much for this song. Its very accurately conveys my inner state. I’m just about ready to stand up like a spring, do something, change my life, change the world. But there is coldness and emptiness in my soul. And you know, I feel so comfortable, I observe this state. The fact that we have the ability to feel (good or bad) is a true gift of life!
Yess
God this year has been hard. Who knew thanksgiving would spiral me. Thank you for this. I hate that we are all hurting.. this lone feeling doesn’t feel so lonely anymore. Though the people I know think I’m so happy. I’m hurting and this song expresses it so well 🥀❤️🩹 I love you. And thank you. I needed this today.
hey, sending love and a hug even if it's from a stranger across the internet also feeling lonely and wistful today.
this song means so much to me and have been with me through the darkest winters, so i'm especially glad it got re-imagined when your style evolved. i daresay i like this version better than the original. thank you so much for being with us. ❤
This is by far one of my favorite songs youve ever made, ive been listening to it for years, everything you make is so raw and emotional and is just amazing to listen too. It makes my night drives home more enjoyable.
There was a time not long ago where i was in a dark place, driving home one night i had some really bad thoughts about driving just slightly left off a road and seeing what would happen to me.
In my random mix your song "your joy is your sorrow unmasked" played when i saw the bright, brilliant moon that night, all those thoughts melted away, and i made it home.
I listened to your songs everyday since that night. Hopefully one day i can see you preform live if thats an option.
you walk into my heart with my fear
Thank you so much for sharing this with us. For someone with no family, this time of the year is the hardest. It leaves me feeling like I'm missing something that I've lost.
Something about this song has always hit a deep part of my soul in the most painful and beautiful way possible 💙 i never expected an acoustic version to be released, so thank you for the present!
I really can't describe what your music does to me. This isn't the typical genre I listen to. I usually tend to listen to House music or Synthwave. But yet I enjoy a lot of the songs you release. It started back then when I first heard songs like "Anachronism" or "Neverland" and stretches till today. And others are just as confused about it since they know what I usually listen to. I just thought maybe these words might mean something to you.
I have a few artists like that. Something about the way my heart reacts to them transcends the normal genre boundaries I stay in.
@@Crywolf (anyone you'd just recommend to everyone to regardless of genre?
Crywolf's voice always gave me that feeling of freedom and melancholy at the same time, that sometimes I come back to have a taste of it again. You transform a "sad" lyric into stuff that heals. Thank so much.
A big fan
Time to continue to blast this to my neighbors. Love this song!!
Truly stunning. It's sad but oddly comforting. I'm definitely going to put this on repeat. 💖
Sad but comforting is an emotional space I really appreciate.

A seriously brilliant song with the most amazing vocals and your voice YOUR voice is incredible. Thank you for this and for those of us without the one we love this and every Christmas...thank you
This is way too beautiful.
Thank you
One of the biggest rough years for me, an Christmas has always felt more empty, isolated an dark for me. It feels like a constant reminder that I don't really have any family left in my life, an my step dad use to always fill my Christmases with good times. Ever since hes been gone these years without him Christmas just feels so empty an remind me of him. Your music always comforts me when I'm in dark places ❤
Vessel and He...this Duette where wonderful:-) beautyfull Song ❤
So beautiful ❤
Extremely grateful to come across your beautiful artistry.
Thank you for revisiting this one, definitely one of my favorites ever since i've discovered your discography. Always brings me good memories from back then.
Absolutely stunning 💫
love your music!! i tend to have a hard time relaxing/winding down but this song and your voice just gives me a sense of peace. it‘s so sad and beautiful
I've been listening to your music since Windswept, and every year you are in my top 5 on spotify. Your songs are so sad yet comforting and I am so thankful you and your music exists. They somehow kept me going through the years, they helped me find beauty in the pain when no other music was able to help me feel what I needed to feel. Thank you Justin! I really appreciate you
What a perfect christmas gift from Crywolf!! Please do more acoustic versions! I’d love to see one for anachronism
I found your music a couple years ago and its always been so deep, and powerful. Your voice is incredible and your talent for creating these songs is so impressive. This is absolutely beautiful. I was listening to it a second time, and started thinking about my Dad who passed away a year ago last month. It may not have been about familial bonds, but it sure had an impact none the less. I didn't expect to break down, but I think it's a good thing. Thank you for sharing your music.
El unico villancico que importa ❤
A piece that aims for the heart ❤ as much as I love the joyfulness of the season, its important to remember not everyone holds the same joy in their souls. Poetic and beautiful, as always ✨
Omg this is so good
🥹 It's beautiful. Thank you! It's one of my favorites and it's one of the songs that I can't help but sing every time I hear it. ❤
this is really nice
This year has been extremely tough for me missing my person my safe place and this brought me right back to those happy days the days I really want to wake up and be alive for again to relive those beautiful moments I absolutely found peace in this song and I can't thank you enough for giving me that ❤
✨
