Can you think of a Christmas when you did or said something you would give anything to take back? Or, maybe a Christmas when you made a decision you desperately regretted? Do you think back on past Christmases and wish you had not taken them for granted? Would you give anything to have one more Christmas with a loved one who is no longer here?

Fun fact: the key signature switches between C# major (7 sharps) and Db major (5 flats), two keys which in fact use the exact same physical notes on a piano. Despite using the exact same notes, both scales somehow feel very different (I know it sounds rather vague), like looking at the same thing from two completely different perspectives, or telling a story from two different sides.

This composition has taken me longer than average to finish as I kept changing my mind about where to take the music and how to tweak the final notes. The score could use some extra love as it specifies no dynamics yet.... Will I regret posting the recording and the score in this not very polished state? Maybe, but for now it is what it is and it is probably good enough to get an idea what the music is about.

If you've found this video while looking for my easy piano videos, this is not one of them ;)
