about

'I recorded this song late 1998 for reasons of promotion under its original title X-mas Eve Is A Perfect Night To Die!. The word on the street is that it has been played on one or two local radio stations around that time. The lyrics start off as a sort of average christmas song, but at the end there's a missing person who’s in a frozen state buried in the forest. The music has all kinds of christmas stuff in it, like bells and an angel’s choir. In 2001 the word ‘Perfect’ in the title was reconsidered and changed to ‘Proper’ for commercial reasons, but in 2002 that word was replaced with ‘Damn Cold’ because it sounded better and it fits the story about a frozen corpse and the overall christmas Winter feel. X-mas Eve! was the very first Ramirez song played live, as it opened Danny's first gig on April 2, 1999. It's also been performed on December 24, 1999.'

lyrics

Outside the house the snow gently falls
Children are playing and in the distance a church bell tolls
It's a pity you can't enjoy the scene
'Cause I already killed you on X-mas eve

Chorus:
X-mas eve is a damn cold night to die
Your family's X-mas dinner will taste sour for years to come
X-mas eve is a damn cold night to cry
The coldest night to lose your one and only beloved one

I take your corpse into the winter wonderland
And in the woods I turn your body into a dead snowman
The freezing Winter cold will let you from decay
So you will turn up again during early Springtime days

Chorus
