Marty Zylstra, a pop-rock singer, has created a Christmas song titled “Sticks Like Snow,” which takes you down a bittersweet memory lane. It has the ability to totally immerse you in his music. The songwriting has such lovely visual allusions that the tune fully relaxes you.

He expertly manoeuvres you around delightful corners. The Christmas season is well depicted, and it makes you feel fantastic.

Marty Zylstra’s vocal delivery has a huge impact because of his persistent intensity. We didn’t feel disconnected from the song for a single second. The tune moves along well. The arrangement has an effective rise and fall that adds to the song’s emotional intensity. The song is mostly based on glistening smooth strumming guitars, with percussion and bass providing excellent backing. The lyrical richness is enhanced by the guitar fills. The bells, on the other hand, sounded quite tempting to me. Furthermore, the deep string arrangement lends it a classic look. Overall, a song of pleasure and happiness in the spirit of the holiday season. The essence of the song will entice listeners to play it again and over again.
