Well, now that the holidays are behind us, I think it is time to focus on making new music! I'm currently working on a great song that I wrote with my brother Hoyt called 'Tonight'! Nick's already laid down the vocals for it, and I personally feel its his best vocal performance to date. But, of course, ultimately you will be the judge of that. (smile emoticon) So stay tuned!
For those of you that might remember the song we wrote called, I Won't Say Adieu, it has a similar vibe! It has a big chorus that is sure to have a universal appeal! xoxo ~ Carly

"I mastered this release without the heavy use of compression and limiters in hopes to preserve it's musical dynamics. Ultimately, giving the track more head room to properly breath. I personally feel that the 'loudness war' is over. Musical dynamics wins every time in my book." ~ Carly Emerick

“I Can't Wait for Christmas”

All Rights Reserved. Words & Music by
Carly Emerick and Hoyt Emerick
Verse One:
It's already December so season's greetings
I'm in my vintage ugly Christmas sweater
to hide all the cookies I've been eating
Lead In 1:
I can't wait to see the snow on the ground
And I can't wait for you to see all the presents I found
Chorus:
No I can't wait for Christmas
I can't wait to feel the magic like it used to be,
Unwrapping presents makes a kid out of me
No I can't wait for Christmas
Hanging up the bulbs on the Christmas tree
We'll have so much fun!
I can't wait for Christmas
Verse Two:
With each day it's getting closer, drinking eggnog at night
Let's drive around the neighborhood and see the festive Christmas lights
Lead In 2:
Oooooh I can't wait to see the snow on the ground (Fa-la-la-la-la)
Making snow angels in my winter coat, yeah it's comin' around
Chorus:
No I can't wait for Christmas
I can't wait to feel the magic like it used to be,
Unwrapping presents makes a kid out of me
No I can't wait for Christmas
Watching the Grinch on TV
We'll have so much fun!
I can't wait for Christmas
Bridge:
I can't wait to sing along to the songs we love to hear
like Silent Night, Jingle Bells, and Rudolph, The Red Nosed Reindeer
Chorus:
No I can't wait for Christmas
I can't wait to feel the magic like it used to be,
Unwrapping presents makes a kid out of me
No I can't wait for Christmas
Watching Christmas Story and baking cookies
We'll have so much fun!
I can't wait for Christmas

Alice's Last Halloween is based off of a screenplay that we started writing 10 years back but never finished. So we found it only fitting, being songwriters at heart, that we try to tell you the story in a 4 and a half minute pop song!
It's a story song about an urban legend, that we heard as kids, that Halloween candy can sometimes be tampered with in order to cause harm to those who eat it. All of this is centered around a character we created named Alice Crowley.
Alice's Last Halloween was composed in the key signature of Ebm Minor.
lyrics
“Alice's Last Halloween”
© 2015 MRIX MUZIK (ASCAP)
All Rights Reserved. Words & Music by
Carly Emerick and Hoyt Emerick
Verse One:
She looked like an older version of Bette Davis or Liz Taylor
Yeah she could have been a movie star
but in this town no one gets too far
It was 1982, I was probably seven then,
We lived in a little town called Monongahela
Chorus:
It was Alice's last Halloween
I saw the knife and I heard her scream
The neighborhood was an angry mob
A museum of the macabre
Alice's last Halloween
A wicked witch with an evil scheme
Now children of the Mon Valley
are haunted by the ghost of Mrs. Crowley
Verse Two:
A cold night in late October carving pumpkins on All Hallows Eve
I was dressed as Bozo the Clown
Trick or tricking as the sun went down
She was passing out home baked goods, to the children of the neighborhood
It was a night that I'll always remember
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse Three:
Found a needle in my candy apple, broken glass in my Hershey's bar
My sister Helen found a razor blade in the cookies that Alice made
The word spread like wild fire, urban legend turned living hell
What exactly happened that night, Alice never lived to tell
(Repeat Chorus)
Ad-Lib:
Alice's last Halloween, ghosts and goblins kill the queen.
Alice's last Halloween, Alice's last Halloween
