DDR: The Christmas Dances

These are dances from the Dance Dance Revolution Series that are Christmas- or Winter-themed, which I performed in commemoration of the holiday season. All of them are from PS2 releases, and all difficulty levels are heavy/expert. Below are the lyrics and my notes (in brackets). Btw, I got AA on all of these except, I think, Curus. The score is edited out for reasons of brevity, but is available from the original recording on request.

Silent Hill (from DDRMAX2)
by Thomas Howard

[I would have done the Oni mix as well, but I figured it was too similar.]

Ooooohhhhhh
Ooooohhhhhh

Lights on the avenue
All seem so far away
I'm up here drinking a toast to you
On such a special day

Tonight is the night for I-love-you's
Wish we could have this feeling
Throughout the year
Christmas is here
Christmas is here

Ooooohhhhhh

Tonight is the night for I love you's
And if you hold me near you
You'll feel my heart
Beating for two

Tonight is the night for I love you's
(Lights on the avenue, all seem so far away)
Up above the snow is falling
And stars disappear
My heart is calling
Christmas is here

Frozen Ray (from Extreme)
by dj TAKA

[I added this because of how it evokes images of winter, esp. sledding.]

[no lyrics]

Injection of Love (from Extreme 2)
by Akira Yamaoka

[Perhaps the most questionable inclusion. When I first heard it, as it got into the theme in the middle, it reminded me of the Mannheim Steamroller Christmas albums. It's hard to spell out, but I can't listen to this one without thinking of Christmas.]

[no lyrics]

Curus (from SuperNOVA)
by D-crew

[Very powerful evocation of the togetherness I fell around Christmas.]

I think you decide it, when I keep my love to be best.
Now I wonder how you slipped away from me.
Make me run always how my loves fade into blue.
That's immobility all-time, all-place, somewhere.
In fact, I was understanding that you know how
to rescue me with such your touch.
But it should be a dream made real,
so I'm going to become trouble my uneasiness.
It was a dream you knew how to rescue me.
I know you know

Ballad for You (from SuperNOVA 2)
by Thomas Howard

I was the happiest guy
That's what everyone said (everyone said)
But, inside I was lonely then
Still I played my part so well
No one could ever tell
Just a smiling face
On an empty shell

And then
Look what you did when you came along (Look what you did)
Made me see I was wrong (What you did)
I felt so thick
I'm losing my mind
But, I don't really care cause I'm satisfied
Look what you did to me now (Look what you did)
My resistance is all breaking down (My resistances)
Now it's up to you
I'm in love with you, anyhow

(When I dream of you)
Oh, won't you look (what you did)

Look what you did to me now
Turned my universe upside down
I don't recognize who I was any more
I guess I was just playing a clown
I thank heaven above (heaven above)
For showing me what it's made of (it's made of)
Look what you did to me now (Look what you did)
I'm in love

[UDarkWolf]

all musics are hard to pass going AAA Caus a lil step can mess it all.

but like, ballad for you is REALLY slow so its easy to get steps, even if theyre not on the rythm...

well those musics dont really suck.. i got used to pop'n music and pop'n is a really harsh game XD

[DeepBlueDDR]

Ballad for you is easy to pass but so hard to AAA on the other hand due to its incorrectly quantised notes...

[Fashow2007]

[UDarkWolf]

all musics are less than 270 bpm, aint ey?

[UDarkWolf]
