Bob Katsionis: Outloud - new kings of melody?

The melodic Rock quintet from Athens/Greece featuring guitarist/keyboardist Bob Katsionis(Firewind),Mark Cross, and New York based singer Chandler Mogel, have just released a Christmas themed single named:
"Last Days Of December"

Bob Katsionis comments on the song:
"People are getting so much negativity from everywhere these days. It's like someone is trying to make the world feel empty and helpless, facing the problems of each country's economy, criminality etc.
At the same time,what you get from the Social Networks is mostly negative comments, trolling, absurdity, violence and people being more rude day by day.
This is reflected on music as well. Bands are trying to be harder, heavier,meanier and more evil like there's some short of hate-contest going on!
What we tried to do with this song is to bring the rock and Heavy Metal world some melody,some peace, remind people that Love is the power that makes this world go round and contribute to the soundtrack of the Christmas Holiday Season with a song that we hope it will stand the test of time.
Christmas time doesnt necessarily mean shopping and spending but also quality time with friends and family and the people we love and share some positive energy which is definitely missing nowadays.
Happy Holidays!"

***Also features a shining guitar solo by Greece's best hidden secret Achilleas Diamantis who will be replacing founding member Tony Kash on their forthcoming live appearances.***lyricsLAST DAYS OF DECEMBER
(Music & Lyrics by Bob Katsionis)

The last days of the year
They're drawing oh so near
Reminding us of how it used to be
The nights...are getting colder
And as we're growing older
There's only love to share
For you and me

But every time my skies are turning gray
I'll be longing for your smile to make my day

CHORUS:
In the Last Days Of December
It's you I'm waiting for
If you're searching for an answer
It's written in the snow
Let me hold your hand
Then we'll never grow apart
Beneath the Christmas Tree
Wrapped in a box,
I've given you my heart...

And now the years have passed
Cause time it moves so fast
The Book Of Life has turned another page
We had so many reasons
To lead us through the seasons
From summertime to winter's frozen cage

But every time my skies are turning gray
I'll be looking to your eyes to light my way

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Around the fire we're standing
We're holding to our dreams,
And trying to make them real
Above the stars are falling
No need to make a wish,
Cause you and I we live in perfect bliss

SOLO: Achilleas Diamantis

(REPEAT CHORUS)

OUTRO SOLO: Bob Katsionis

In the Last Days of December...
It's you I've been waiting for...
If you're searching for an answer, search no more…
Just take my hand, take my heart….
In the Last Days of December...
