Presenting Ojay, an upbeat pop-rock band, hailing from the suburbs of Western Australia, who have recently won us over with their exquisite new song, “December Snow”. The band is back after a three-year hiatus, and they have dramatically developed, moving away from their pop punk origins and towards more intense and soulful sonic terrain.
Powerful piano chords that immediately captivate you and arouse your emotions open the song. Ojay’s lead vocalist enchants as he pours emotion into the track with storytelling lyricism that will bring a tear to anyone listening.
With inspirations from Elvis Presley, Ed Sheeran, and Marvin Gaye, Ojay announces their intention to broaden their sonic palette. This transition from high-energy concerts with catchy tracks to more soulful songwriting skills is evident in the song.
In addition to love’s long journey across distance and missing someone during festivities, the song tackles the conflict between sweltering Australian summers and chilly winters in Europe and North America during Christmas time, all juxtaposed against each other poetically. It provides insight into the arduous trek of love across vast distances at an already joyous season – not to mention the struggle of missing someone significant at holiday get-togethers.
The song “December Snow” invites listeners to interpret the lyrics in any manner in which they deem fit, from taking in-depth looks at long-distance relationships to paying tribute to loved ones we miss over the holidays. This allows you to personalise your interpretation of the song. Press play and enjoy “December Snow” as it reveals its enchanted qualities in a distinctive, personalised way.
