about

This was recorded in December 2019 as a good excuse to get some of my dearest friends and family together to yell and sing and play together.

I wanted to make something that was imperfect and a little chaotic and not quite what you thought it would be but still beautiful in its own crazy way, as I think every Christmas I've ever had has been.

lyrics

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear

Silver bells Silver Bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling
Hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas Day

Strings of street lights, even the stoplights
are blinkin' bright red and green
Another year and I've got no love for Christmas
I've got it good here, it's been a few years
But I still miss you sometimes
And when they sing it's your voice in my ears

You sang Silver bells
Silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling
Hear them ring
Soon it will be....

Yah-da-dah-dah
Yah-da-dah-dah
Yah-da-dah-dah-dah-dah
Yah-da-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah Christmas!
Yah-da-dah-dah
Yah-da-dah-dah
Yah-da-dah-dah-dah New Year!

(Saxophonophony)

Silver bells
Silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling
Hear them ring
Soon it will be.... Christmas Day!

Christmas Day, Christmas Day.
Soon it will be Christmas Day.
