Cerian - Like A Movie (Original Live Looped Version)

I started writing this song sat in front of the Christmas Tree at Christmas, and so I think of it a bit like my Christmas song, but really it's much broader than that. It's hard to summarise but it's all about trying to accept that life is ups and downs and that is what makes us who we are, no matter how much I wish life could be like a movie, and the hard parts would just go by in a montage.
I thought it would be fun to try producing a looped version live on my twitch stream, and this is what I came up with. I'd love to record and produce this song properly next year, but for now, here's a live version done using my Push looper.
This live demo can be downloaded from my bandcamp store here (along with other music and merch):

Thank you to my twitch community for always encouraging me as this production and loop was created live on stream :)
I perform live on twitch three times a week, be sure to follow me there and come say hi!

This is an absolute _masterpiece...._
I was moved to transcribe the lyrics - sing along, everybody 😌 :
If life could happen like a story,
we'd be staring through the window
of a picture-perfect postcard scene of smiles...
If life could happen like a movie,
we'd fast-forward through the hard times,
in a montage where we're making better plans.
In a photograph, the perfect smile
is frozen - like my hands are while
I'm holding on, too tightly, to a dream.
In a movie, there's a perfect scene
that's frozen - like recurring dreams;
I can't change where I've gone,
or who I've been.
But when it's cold,
somehow, all the city lights
make me feel like everything
is going to be alright.
When I'm old, will there still be city lights
to make me feel
like everything that's happened,
is alright?...
It's alright.
These are the good days,
these are the days that we'll remember.
These are the fine times,
when we were smiling in December.
In a photograph, the perfect smile
is frozen - like my hands are while
I'm holding on, too tightly, to a dream.
In a movie, there's a perfect scene
that's frozen - like recurring dreams;
but everywhere I've gone,
is who I've been...
And when it's cold,
somehow, all the Christmas lights
make feel like everything
is going to be alright.
When I'm old, will there still be Christmas lights
to make me feel like
everything that's happened,
is alright?...
It's alright.
Ooh-oo-oooh,
Ooh-oo-oooooh, oooh...
In a photograph, the perfect smile
is frozen - like my hands are while
I'm holding on, too tightly, to a dream.
In a movie, there's a perfect scene
that's frozen - like recurring dreams;
but everwhere I've gone, is who I've been...
When it's cold,
somehow, all the city lights
make feel like everything
is going to be alright.
When I'm old,
will there still be city lights
to make me feel like
everything that's happened,
is alright?..
When it's cold,
somehow, all the Christmas lights
make feel like everything
is going to be alright.
When I'm old, will there still be Christmas lights,
to make me feel like
everything that's happened,
is alright?..
It's alright.
If life could happen like a movie,
we'd be staring through the window
of a picture-perfect postcard scene of smiles...
