Harmonious synth pads and bass synth gently swell into the track, providing an almost cinematic element to the piece. Broken chords from the piano enter, giving a more traditionally festive feel to <em>Christmas Nap<\/em>. At only a few seconds in this track is already brimming with the sentimentally so strongly synonymous with the holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once these layers have been built, the driving rhythmic force is introduced by way of electric drums. A wash of reverb means the beat feels suitably soft, in keeping with the rest of the instruments. The sounds come off almost wood-like and natural, emphasising the feeling of being dropped into the middle of a glittering, snow-covered forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The drums and piano drop out, bringing the twinkling glockenspiel to the foreground. A rounded melodic synth sound repetitively mimics the glockenspiel in movement. The image of gleaming stars in the wintry night sky is vividly conjured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the beat reintroduced, we are driven towards the close of the track. The deep bass synth provides a heft and heaviness that brings an undeniably cosy atmosphere to the track. The familiar piano part rejoins the mix as well,  filling out the airy space. Hopping between chords gives <em>Christmas Nap <\/em>a jovial, playful energy to an otherwise soporific song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Christmas Nap <\/em>is the perfect track to accompany any Christmas craft tutorials on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\">YouTube<\/a>, or any holiday montage footage.
