This is my thanksgiving challenge piece. Its posted there as well.Please tell me I didnt rip this off!!! This is one of those songs that pretty much wrote itself. I wrote the lyrics and the basic arrangement in 30 minutes last weekend. NO LIE!!!! Ive spent the last couple of unemployed days putting it together.Ive done 1 of 2 things:1. Ive totally ripped off every christmas song ever written including the bible. ( I wonder if GOD sues for copyright infringement)OR2. Ive written my best freakin song ever in 20 years of songwriting.Ive searched for similarities and havent found any. If someone else knows of any PLEASE tell me so I can destroy this!
