Happy Xmas (War Is Over) | John Lennon Acoustic Cover

Download: distancemusic....
Hello there! Well Christmas is very much upon us, so this'll be our final upload of the year and we've saved the final spot for this absolute classic of a Christmas song: 'Happy Xmas (War Is Over)' by the immortal John Lennon.
We've been wanting to add this to our Christmas covers since the very beginning, but there always seemed to be something more colourful or unexpected to go for instead... the truth is though, that this is possibly one of the most iconic Xmas songs of all time. From the opening bar containing nothing but John's vocal, to the huge finish featuring the Harlem Youth Choir, as well as John And Yoko, it's a masterpiece of writing and arrangement.
You'll find another appearance of our cute little Gretsch Jim Dandy in Nashville tuning, adding a gorgeous sparkle to the sound that's similar, and yet somehow different to the sound you get from capoing a second, standard tuned guitar. We think it sounds awesome and we hope you do too :)
Tomorrow's Christmas Eve, y'all! Is everybody set? Don't forget to leave out some vegan mince pies for Santa and a gluten free, organic fair trade sugar lump for Rudolph. And spare a thought for Mrs Clause, who makes all this stuff happen by keeping on top of the admin while Santa is out kissing people's Mommies...
Have yourselves a fantastic Christmas and a happy new year... and we'll see you in January for the release of our brand new covers album 'Escape'. We we're secretly hping to break 3000 subs by Christmas day, but it looks like that might be a tall order - still, if you;re reading this and you aren't subscribed to our channel, we'd really appreciate it :)
Mat & Soph

[@LauriesMishmosh]

Sorry I missed the premiere! Beautiful sound, the singing and the playing.....you're right, this is an epic Christmas song and HAD to be covered. I did a little bit of Stevie Wonder's "Someday At Christmas". Similar message. Loved your comment about Mrs. Claus hahaha! I really hope you get that 3,000 before Christmas. Going to share you on my page...not sure if it'll help, but maybe you'll get one or two more! Merry Christmas beautiful couple!!

[@TheDistanceDuo]

Hey Laurie! Thank you SO much for sharing this on your Community tab - that was such a kind thing to do and maybe it'll be enough to tip us over the edge by the new year. It's an arbitrary goal, but it'd be a nice Christmas present for the both of us. Haha - yes Mrs Clause is the real powerhouse behind the operation: Santa is a puppet-king 🤣 We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and we can't thank you enough for your support - you truly are the greatest :) xx

[@LauriesMishmosh]
