Scrooge
Written by Karliene Reynolds
Mixed by Nick Dawes www.mixing-mastering-online.com/
Scrooge
Once, long ago, on a dark Christmas Eve
There lived a man named Scrooge
Cold as the Winter, no joy did he feel
Counting his purses full
Heavy were his chains of greed
Growing day by day
Would he hear the spirits three
Willing him to change?
He saw the ghost of a Christmas long and gone
Memories filled his eyes
He saw his boyhood and everything he lost
All money could not buy
Ooh, ooh
Sang the Christmas song
Ooh, ooh,
Treasure is in love
Humbled and grieved on that dark Christmas Eve
Scrooge felt his cold heart break
Stunned by the man that he turned out to be
Hoarding his coins away
Heavy were his chains of greed
Growing day by day
Would he hear the spirits three
Willing him to change?
He saw the ghost of a Christmas just begun
Merriment filled his eyes
He saw the families, the laughter, and the warmth
All money could not buy
Ooh, ooh
Sang the Christmas song
Ooh, ooh
Treasure is in love
Grave and alone on that dark Christmas Eve
Scrooge heard the church bells toll
Counting the cost of his miserly deeds
All for his coin so cold
Heavy were his chains of greed
Growing day by day
Would he hear the spirits three
Willing him to change
He saw the ghost of a Christmas yet to come
Shadow befell his face
A lonely grave, with his name carved in the stone
All money could not change
Pleading, he cried on that dark Christmas Eve
Lit by the pale dawn's hue
Moved by the spirits and all that he'd seen
Scrooge vowed to start anew
Broken were his chains of greed
Scrooge took back his fate
Out he walked with spirits three
Into Christmas Day
To sing the song of a Christmas just begun
Merriment filled his eyes
He kept the spirit of Christmas all year long
All money could not buy
Ooh, ooh
Sang his Christmas song
Ooh, ooh
Treasure is in love

Scrooge is one of my most favourite stories.I have read him over 8 times. His repentance scene by the graveyard where he begs the 3rd ghost that ironically resembles the Grim Reaper, always gets me and I cry such a powerful scene.... Glad you made a song about him such an amazing and deep character

[@gemiveretheshitwidow1416]

Petition to replace Mariah Carey with this

[@ImperialKnight770]

Better yet, put this on broadway!

[@kymera8754]

When i was little i was so scared of the ghosts, but now the tale of scrooge is a staple for me every year. Thank you for the beautiful song and greetings from Germany Karliene, Merry Christmas!

[@Karliene]

Thank you so much for your support. Merry Christmas to you too!

[@insomniacwordaddict880]

Aww! When I was a young child, I actually watched these for the Ghost of Christmas Future. He was my favorite--still is. I was an odd child... not much has changed in that regard. Your reaction strikes me as more 'normal.' xD It's a good tale. And fantastic song!

[@CharlieShakesby]

The contrast between your haunting voice and the jingle of the bells is truely magical! Superb!

[@Karliene]

Thank you. I do love using a twinkly celesta in my music if the song calls for it. It adds instant magic.

[@CharlesShakesby]

@@Karliene Well it sounds heavenly to me!

[@tundeszabo8220]

What a magical, hauntingly beautiful song! I read Christmas Carol on every Christmas Eve (since 2012) but now I'll have Scrooge and Dickens' spirit until then, just in different form. Thank you for this wonder!

[@dariusalexander8985]

Never expected anyone to write a song about Scrooge. Never knew I would love it so much.

[@756Twix]

Karlienes voice always brings a tear to my eye, she always sings so beautifully.

[@rosierennie5867]

I love any and all renditions of Christmas Carol and I'm Jewish. Bravo, Karliene. Bravo indeed

[@samalo2953]

This song perfectly fits my mood this xmas. Karliene, my Queen, I bend my knee once again to your musical excellence.

[@Karliene]

You are too kind, and I'm so happy you enjoyed the new song. Merry Christmas!

[@quinleyadventureawaits]

I love this song, it feels to me like a storyteller sitting around the fire and telling the story of Scrooge. 💖

[@Greye13]

Scrooge is such a classic tale, that has a lot to teach us about love and greed - and the difference between them. You have captured the essence of it beautifully. Absolutely wonderful. Wishing you a very Merry Holiday Season, Karliene. Thank you for sharing the gift of your lovely voice and talent with us. Best wishes.🎶🎵💖

[@Karliene]

I'm so delighted you like it. Thanks so much for the support, and Merry Christmas!

[@starlightvixx3595]

A gorgeous song for one of my favourite Christmas tales of all time! 🥰

[@anitaassad4499]

Hi from Johannesburg south Africa. Beautiful song. Seasonal blessings to you. May 2024 be a blessed new year for you.

[@battlecross8540]

A wonderful tribute to one of my favorite Christmas stories. Thank you Karilene for honoring Charles Dickens greatest classic. Merry Christmas to all.

[@RoxaneGenot]

What an enchanting and slightly gloomy tale, perfect for Christmas time! I love that it's so long, so we get to hear your magical voice for 8 minutes. 🥰 Never long enough though!

[@Karliene]

Haha it was soooo long to record, but I had to fit in all the parts of the story, and I couldn't seem to make it shorter, so 8 minutes it is. I'm glad to hear you weren't bored. :)

[@Danka42]

Christmas Carol is a must for me every year. This song underlines everything I love about it. Beautiful as ever. Amazing lyrics, perfect voice. 10/10, would recommend to a friend 🥰

[@paulmccormick6986]

As this beautiful telling of the classical Dickens story takes its place at the top of your "Christmas" playlist, I am reminded again how much I love this playlist and how your incomparable voice makes every day Christmas for me. I always love your piano, and I especially love the "tiny keys" you play here.❤

[@Karliene]

Ah, thank you so much, my friend. The 'tiny keys' are a celesta, and I love them too. They always add instant twinkly magic to a song, which I adore. I'm glad you like them too!

[@gallaxyk9095]

I'm not crying, you're crying. this is amazingly beautiful as always, I love your music so much

[@samanthajasper4309]

This is my favorite Christmas story of all time and now it in a amazing song great job ❤❤❤

[@kennethrouse7942]

What a beautiful addition to the canon of Christmas music.. a perfect accompaniment to my favorite Christmas movie: "Scrooge" (1951) starring Alistair Sim. Merry Christmas to you and yours! 🎆

[@Karliene]

I love all the Christmas Carol adaptation movies, but honestly, The Muppets Christmas Carol is still my favorite because it was my first introduction to the story as a child. That movie fills me with warmth.

[@kennethrouse7942]

@Karliene Believe it or not, I have never seen it. (Mea Culpa) Is that the one where Sir Michael Caine played Scrooge? As you do, I have a yearly lineup that I watch every year, culminating with the Alistair Sim version. 🎄It always gets me when Mrs. Dilber gazes in wonder at the guinea in her hand and says, "A CHRISTMAS present.. for ME?" 👍😎

[@hakl4398]

You are incredible Karliene. Awesome narrative song. Thank you.

[@darylritchie1619]

Wow, what a beautiful and haunting Halloween introduction to Christmas. I love your arrangement and your voice.

[@stephanielesser2900]

That's a very beautiful, enchanting and a bit melancholic christmas song. But the story, the tale of Mister Scrooge is a beautiful tale about the meaning of christmas and of course about the deep, beautiful meaning of love and spending the time with your loved ones. I wish everyone in the comments, around the world and even up at the ISS a beautiful Christmas and a Happy New Year. Blessings to you all, wonderful and beautiful people of the world.

[@Leondragon06]

Beautiful music! =) Watched a Christmas devotional last night that pointed out it is sad that when we talk of Scrooge we focus on his before his ghost visits rather than on his after where he is nicer.

[@luthientinuviel3883]

A Karliene song about my favorite Christmas story? It must be Christmas already

[@ryanhenderson225]

The year is 2023, Karliene has released a new Skyrim song AND a song for a Christmas Carol (my single favorite book of all time)

[@sablebranwen2539]

A Christmas Carol is and always will be the best Christmas story. Everything about it is timeless.

[@starsbookreviews]

I thought it was going ro be Scrooge from the Muppet Christmas Carol, but this is way better! Also maybe could you cover The Love is Gone/The Love We Found from the Muppet Christmas Carol? Please and thank you!

[@grellsutcliff1745]

This song is so very beautiful. Thank you for this! I really love your music! ❤ Bless your heart! Merry Christmas! 🎄✨️⭐️

[@Karliene]

Merry Christmas to you too! Thanks for coming by to listen. :)

[@GryphonBrokewing]

Love this story song, Karliene! Way to use just minor cord changes to evoke mood in the journey. Thanks for a lovely kick off to the season and a panacea for the corporate ills relentlessly pushed on us.

[@Karliene]

I'm so happy you liked it. I hope you manage to escape some of the madness of this month and find some coziness and peace. Honestly, if I could just flee to a forest cabin somewhere and spend Christmas with a log fire, a twinkly tree, and all my pets, i'd be very, very happy with that :)

[@jamierobin8255]

Thanks!

[@brolydz5400]

8 minutes of perfection, Thank you Karliene. ❤️ Could you do "Ezio's family" one day please ? Your voice would fit so well with it Karliene, and with Roxane's cello and Gustavo's guitar ! ✨🔥

[@obadijahparks]

I appreciate the simple piano. It sounds like a classic tune in its own right.

[@paulodonohoe4338]

i love listening to your wonderful enchanting music and i like the story of scrooge its like a story of redemption that for certain people there is hope for them a chance shown error of their ways in the magic of christmas that their journey ends a changed person for the better . There are so many movie versions of scrooge which is your favourite. Recently i have been listening to your beautiful cover of walking in the air even my mum likes it too and this song sets the christmas atmosphere love it

[@Mrmirlon]

Sublime

[@cu-m3815]

When I was a child, I watched the animated film "Mickey's Christmas Carol" over and over again. At the time, I was terrified of the ghosts and did not understand the essence of the story. Now that I'm over 30 years old, I learned that the original story was written by Charles Dickens, and I have read the Japanese translation. I read it with nostalgia and interest, because now I understand the meaning of the story. When I finish reading it, I will come back to listen to your song. I am sure my impression will change again. Merry Christmas! From Japan

What a beautiful, encouraging comment. Thank you. I still don't think of myself as a natural songwriter, but I find if I really love something, I can always find a song for it. All my songs are born from a place of fan-girl love really. :)
