"Peaceful Garden" (Kelly Kristjanson cover) by As December Falls
This is a cover song that I commissioned one of my favorite bands, As December Falls to record. A modern pop punk take on one of my favorite local musicians Kelly Kristjanson's 1979 or 1980 recording. The original song can be heard here: https://youtu.be/T7IhN7tQ6C4?si=JvLYQuKK-bWZLJOY
Released 8-24-2023 exclusively to As December Falls Patreon subscribers. Now that they have since released another cover song there, I am taking this public to show people why it is worth either subscribing or paying for their own cover song.
This is a great example of how you can take one style of music and transform it into another. I simply paid for the "cover song of your choice" on their store, emailed an mp3 copy of the song with a document containing the lyrics to make it easier for them, and asked if they could do a pop punk cover and give it a modern 2023 sound. They did the rest and did it well. If you like this I recommend you check out As December Falls for their other music, as well as Kelly Kristjanson for examples of his many years of songwriting and being in multiple bands.
