about

I’d like to share this song with you. It is a version of ‘Winter Wonderland’ I worked on together with my husband Craig Dyer and our dear friends, Laura Carbone and André Leo. And I’d like to ask you for some small kindness.

Winter can be difficult with its sunless short days and its cold gloomy nights. Though many of us have a festive season to look forward to, there are a lot of people who dread its arrival. Especially the elderly, who are left alone without a chance to see their family or friends. Or are left without family or friends. For people like this, Age UK will be their lifeline this Christmas. The charity is calling for donations to help fund its friendship and advice services, demand for which has soared since the COVID-19 pandemic.

All payments received for this song, minus Bandcamp charges, will be transferred to Age UK. You can read more about their services here -

Even a small donation is a donation. I hope together we can make someone feel a bit more welcomed and cared for this holiday season.

Thank you!

Yours,
Olya

lyrics

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the lane snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland

Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland

When it snows ain't it thrilling
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play all night and all day
Walking in a winter wonderland

released December 11, 2020
This year, I thought of a lullaby, a slow song with a great sense of longing and melancholia, like a long-desired embrace. I stumbled across the ‘Winter Wonderland’ lyrics and was astounded by how poetic these lines are and was surprised by how these exact words seem to lose their depth when sung in their original jolly way. So I came up with a new chord progression and an accompanying melody. To give this ‘Winter Wonderland’ rendition a Christmas carol feel, I kindly asked Craig, Laura and André to record their vocals. To be honest, I didn’t explain much about what it was exactly that I was looking for, I believed it would happen naturally. And it really did. Craig and André perfected the final version by adding their distinctive guitar parts, and with a touch of snow from a nightly blizzard.
