Reasons To Believe by Christmas The BandSkylight Magazine
Pop / Rock Reviews
“Reasons To Believe” by Christmas The Band takes listeners on a nostalgic trip through progressive rock’s golden period, complete with synthesizers and dreamy, lyrical views. The song begins with an interesting bass opening by Jeff Pilson, laying an excellent basis for delicate synth lines representative of Eloy’s ethereal textures. The synthesizers, played by Peter Penhallow and Charles Tapp, provide a deep, spacey mood that enhances the song’s 1980s prog-rock vibe. The gentle, philosophical vocals recall the vocal approaches of bands such as Eloy and Wishbone Ash, and mix smoothly intothe track’s Pink Floyd-inspired musical sound. This vocal style not only boosts the band’s soundscape, but it also provides an additionalemotional dimension that draws listeners into the song’s reflective atmosphere. Alec Fuhrman’s guitar work contributes to the atmosphere, providing it a warm, space sound that triggers both classic prog rock and early space rock influences.

Hello Christmas The Band, thank you so much for sending me your music! “Reasons To Believe” is a song with good ideas that reminds me of 70s classic prog rock in its overall sound. The harmonic structure is interesting, working well in the passages and a creative use of each instrument, as well as well-selected notes. The vocal melody uses a lot of ensemble voices and is somewhat cadenced, almost dialoguing with the keyboard and guitar, both well executed and matching the composition's proposal. What struck me most was the choice of timbres for everything, clearly wanting to emulate the sound of that era, which was very cool! The production in terms of mixing the recording is decent, showing balance in the equalization of high and low frequencies. Overall, there's musical quality, so we'll be sharing it on our social media. I wish the band success!

Hello Christmas The Band, how are you?
I liked the track and I'm going to add it to my Spotify playlist. This is a smooth single that showcases the artist's bold ideology, along with the catchy and quirky sound, which brings a nostalgic sound atmosphere while exuding a sincere freshness thanks to the youthful energy and visionary minds of the participants. "Reasons To Believe" walks the fine line between emotional and anthemic with an evolution that shows the flexibility and willingness to explore what it is capable of, presenting the old-school sound of 70s progressive rock, but with an energy of bands like America, The Doobie Brothers and other classics.
A perfect song for Christmas, with the nostalgic vibe of rock classics.
