AmurRayz captures the bittersweet magic of the holidays in “This Time of Year”

AmurRayz’s new single “This Time of Year” makes for a great holiday soundtrack. This single is a tour through the holiday landscape that reveals its warmth and its soft sadness. It’s a song to listen to while you think, celebrate, or just be. That's the perfect gift for the most wonderful time of year.

The song evokes memories of Christmas and New Year’s traditions, including the joy, preparations, and excitement of this season. The music is apt for the highs and lows of the holiday rush, whether you plan your year or have to fly by the seat of your pants at the eleventh hour. AmurRayz brings the noise and significance: celebrating is as much about being there and loving as it is about the season.

Good things and bad things happen over the holidays, but “This Time of Year” is a good mix of both. The lyrics are deep, and the music is complete, with melodies that are happy songs to make people happy together. Then there is the sad undertone of loss, of people (and times) gone by. The song takes the listener on a foray through memory, connecting old memories to new ones and making them feel like one event, regardless of the time of year.

The writing on AmurRayz is honest and human, and it captures the season’s many highs and lows with quiet grace. ‘"This Time of Year" is a standout song at a time of year that is generally filled with commercial noise. It is a reminder that the holidays are , in fact, about feeling happy and homesick, and the silent beauty of being around other humans.
