He stood and he stood, for as long as he could He stood there much longer than you or I would And no matter the reason, his heart or his shoes, The grinch knew nothing, and had nothing to lose. For no longer was the grinch, a grinch He had lost all his life and soul in a pinch. What was christmas anyway? Was it a new song? How did it go? Did it last very long? Did it last very long? Did it last... It didn't last long at all It was gone before we knew it.
I'm always shocked at how well put together so many of these fan works are and then get sad when I look at the view count and think about how few people have gotten to enjoy this.
The caretaker is niche already, no surprise that the fan creations get overlooked. Not saying that they should, their work, like this, one is very impressive!
I've been having some trouble getting into the festive mood lately. I finally feel the Christmas spirit listening to this but it's already too late. It's the night of Christmas day and all the festivities are over. My chance for that romanticized holiday cheer is gone. I feel such an empty bleakness, like I'm wasting my life away. I'm always too tired to do anything I enjoy until it's too late.
It can't be too late to be happy. Christmas is just a date. And if this gets you into the festive mood, maybe this is the romanticism you needed. Enjoy your time dude. Make a tea and enjoy it. Meet family and friends. Create a memory worth revisiting.
Yeah! You can do this! In 2020, I set up my Christmas tree in May just for fun. (ok maybe it was partially because I was bored of the pandemic, but it was still fun!) And, I also made my neighbors cards with completely random stuff like literally drawing white blood cells in bloodstreams. Find something that makes you happy and do it! :D
As I listen to this, I imagine this being the songs that play on the last Christmas that an elderly person has before dementia sets in. Sad, arguably, but bittersweet, too, perhaps.
"Everywhere at the End of Time" after full listening: exists Me: Well, that was hard but also beautiful "Christmas at the End of Time": appeared in my recommends Me: OH YEAH, HERE WE GO AGAIN
I'd say that snowflakes are a great metaphor for memories, so I find this juxtaposition of a concept and a particular time of year & weather pattern to be quite fitting. Snowflakes, like memories, fade--or in this context--"melt" away; none are permanent. Many of them sit together in a massive heap; snowflakes on ground, memories in our brains, and when the spring/dementia comes, they slowly fade away until winter/our sense of self is unrecognizable and the land lies barren.
I wish Leyland would engage more with his community, and especially really good fan-projects like this one. Perhaps release them on vinyl, but just like the stage 5 clarity moments, it is all just a dream. Edit: This project (and especially the first song) is so catchy and amazing, 10/10. And the titles are all really good spins on the original track names.
Why is this so... GOOD? It's almost completely indistinguishable from something the caretaker himself would make. If you told me HE had made this, I would totally believe you. great work!
I really like how the vinyl crackle sounds like a fireplace. It makes the christmas music sound cozy and unsettling at the same time. It may not have been the intention, but it fricking works.
I really like what you did with the stage 4 cover thought. There is this bitter sweet humor to it. As in Grandma also sits at the table with everyone else gets a little Christmas hat and has no idea what on earth going on. Almost comical
This is absolutely amazing, this is so similar to the original albums it’s so good and well made it’s almost like it actually came from The Caretaker himself! It’s just so stunning that it sounds just like the original and I respect you so much, please make more projects like this, you’re amazing at it 💞
"I do not own any of the original songs, but most of the artists are dead, so I don't think they care that much about me using them." You'd be surprised, actually.
late response, but the sample is Judy Garland - Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas. some old version. it's the start and end of that song cut together. also: thank you!
This music in general is very good for Christmas music. Christmas music nowadays gets so repetitive but next year i'll play this next holiday season. Its nice.
Hmm... Although it's a great Idea, I doubt I would find plenty of good vintage tracks about Easter or Thanksgiving or whatever. V29ycnkgbm90LCBJJ20gYWxyZWFkeSBwbGFubmluZyBzb21ldGhpbmcgZWxzZS4=
This would be a cool couple bonus tracks because dementia patients still have to go through Christmas and the holidays, wondering why everything is changing, why people are coming to see them (or lack thereof), and seeing white powder fall from the sky
It's funny, I literally just got the idea for something like this without knowing someone came up with it before me. I guess great minds do think alike! This is very well put together! You used your samples very well, and they really do give off the same vibes as its inspiration.
the inclusion of 'o little town of bethlehem' at the end is perfect, especially cos that's what i thought was playing the first time i heard the ending of the original album
@@unlimitedcotton I did not lie, I am here :D I didn't actually get a notif from this comment but somehow I decided by myself to listen to this once more.
These songs hold more Christmas's magic and spirit than the ads and commercials for Christmas today. Well done, my favorite is White dust magic. Edit: it is not white snowfall magic, but white dust magic.
The Christmas Spirit lives on in those old tracks. Maybe it was raised in them, too. Maybe the Christmas Spirit is more of a dream than an actual reality. It's possible that the perfect white Fest has never really existed. However, this Album is a collection of memories of perfect Christmas days, whether those ever really happened, or not. Since your favourite track plays relatively late in the Album, thank you for listening!
@@unlimitedcotton if anything the Christmas spirit is definitely NOT some cooperate nonsense about consumption. It's the time of gifting... Not buying.
A well put fan project and indistinguishable from the caretaker, finding this on the month of Christmas is such a treat. This is just me rambling but i feel like this album kind of represents what it'e like to forget happiness, trying to remember the good until nothing's left and i think it's because of the it's festive mood the music has had me relating to an extent. Anyways sorry for the long comment and have a good Christmas
Thank you. It's so nice to see people associate this album with different things each christmas. Please know that true happiness can always be rediscovered! Good Christmas to you, too.
Reminds me of something my dad noticed over his years of working linen routes. He used to be the one who collected uniforms and bed linens for a big company who happened to supply a lot of nursing homes and care facilities. He tended to see that around Christmas there was always a boost in elderly patients... checking out. Be it from loneliness, neglect, whatever... Christmastime always yielded the most deaths. Merry Christmas! :D
Should've put "All I want for Chrismas is you" but very clearly, like everything is muffled and then you can distincly hear the song, because of how much it has been drilled into everyone :)
I always think it's strange that the majority of people I know use the "Dance of the Sugar Plum fairy" song as a Christmas standard, for me it has always been a Halloween theme... 🤷🏽♂️ But this fan project is absurdly amazing, sounds even like it's official, somehow... Congratulations! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Someday, we will drift further away from reality, as our memories will some depart from us and our reality in the soft fluffy snow leading to the unknown.
Merry Christmas guys! :) I've come to realize that this has been a tradition of mine to come back each year and say marry Christmas ever since the first Christmas after this video dropped. I was 14 at the time, and next year, I'll come back as an adult. Take care everyone.
That's just too sweet... I hope you'll share great holidays with your loved ones and wish you all the best for the next year. See you next time and likewise, take care!
Going in I felt uncertain, it doesn't make uncomfortable like the original but it gives you a feeling of joy in a weird way. I hope other people find this as I have
will definitely be playing this on christmas. see if i can sneak it on when we are all eating the family Christmas dinner. definitely makes a change from Bing Crosby and that.
Maybe it's the fact that it's one in the morning where I live, or because it's deadly quiet, but this music is creeping me out. The Caretaker never scared me, but this is making me anxious to look over my shoulder.

Dont worry mate here comes round 2022 of christmas
Another round?
I relate too much on that last part, like even if I know something I'm doing is good there's that part of me feeling like I'm doing nothing
Hell Sirens ring, are you listening?
In the brain, fog is thickening.

@@unlimitedcotton no problem! 💞💞💞
Imagine going through the mess of advanced decoration entanglements and then having a clarity moment of AAAALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS
The constant haunting of stage 5 should feature All I want for Christmas is you as it sparks the same amount of fear as stage 5 in the original album
this is awesome! Perfectly fits the vibe, but christmas themed.
Thanks!
The first track is amazing
Our Troubles Will Be Out Of Sight got me crying instantly ngl. This project deserves more recognition
An empty bliss beyond this holiday season
A fulfilling bliss beyond this winter wonderland
An empty shit beyond this poopy piss
"Our Troubles Will Be Out of Sight" got me in the feels. Great loop!
An empty mug beyond this cabin.
Everywhere an empty mug
Our troubles will be out of sight is my favourite track, that intro to have yourself a merry christmas slowed down sounds really beautiful
Thank you, I think that's the best one too.
