The magic of a period so divine and one that brings people together, Christmas is not all about the merry, cherry, and flamboyance that it is associated with but that spirit of togetherness, love, caring, and sharing that defines it. This is that period that we ought to come together as humans and share with the less fortunate around us—make them revel in the limitless loveliness that we make of it and allow them to feel alive and truly lucky to be humans despite whatever it is they might be going through. From the onset, Buzzkickers’ “UNDERNEATH THE TREE,” is a joyful anthem with a universal message that resonates with themes of love, unity, sharing, and just being as human as possible.
The rock-tuned guitars that follow the Christmas carol bells at the intro give it that signature rock thrill, and that vitality is sufficiently met by the self-assured vocals of the lead vocalist as he sings his heart out, vividly painting the universal inspiration behind the genuine words.
The heavy riffs gurgling underneath are unmissable, as the strong current of the impeccable guitar solo, driving drums, and striking bass contribute to the infectious thrill of the overall jam, as the floating lyrics make this jam an engaging one…ushering one to sing along and in a way that allows them to envision the words lucidly.
Life is meant to be treasured and is an immeasurable gift, really. Sharing those sublime moments with those who need it, helping where we can, and making them feel alive again counts as the best Christmas gift or moment you can give yourself and those around you. All it takes is shared laughter with those homeless strangers as you exchange gifts…or just shared presence as you both take it in (it doesn’t have to be a lot, but you will truly have made someone’s festive period better).
“UNDERNEATH THE TREE” is truly a unique Christmas anthem with a universally resounding message of being grateful for life and sharing it with those who don’t get the pleasure of everyday joys of being with family and friends.
The climaxing heavy riff rounds out an overall enchanting tour de force with replay value and one that is expected to be on repeat this holiday season and the next.
The accompanying visuals are striking in their blend of real-life images and Christmas-themed anime, grabbing the attention of the listener throughout as they dance joyfully to the infectious thrill of the irresistible beats.
