5 Q&A With Blueprint Moon
What was the creative process like for this particular "I Can't Wait For This Christmas?"
My 7-year-old daughter, Scarlett came up with an idea for a Christmas song, which Sam and I (Vern) turned into a full song. After chatting to Scarlett, we decided together that it would be good to try and use the song as a way of raising money for children in war-torn countries, so have chosen to do so via the charity, War Child.
Were there any memorable or standout moments during the recording sessions for "I Can't Wait For This Christmas?"
My youngest child, Ben couldn't stop giggling when recording his backing vocals - we had to leave that in the recording, so you can hear that right at the end of the track!
What has been one of your most favorite memories along the path to making "I Can't Wait For This Christmas?"
So far, it was seeing the first few sales come in and knowing that we're going to be able to donate some money to War Child at some stage after Christmas.
Are there any specific themes or messages that you aim to convey through your music?
This song proves that children's ideas should be listened to and taken seriously, as a child's songwriting sketch has gone on to become something much bigger.
What has been one of the most significant moments of your musical journey so far?
Sam and I are session musicians and have played on songs by some pretty big artists (Lewis Capaldi, Bebe Rexha and many more), but in truth recording this song is probably the most significant moment yet as we are using it as a vehicle to do something truly worthwhile.
