An amazing song with great lyrics and a power that builds and then settles you down, love the Cello, if that is what I'm hearing!

This track is such an awesome blend of rock, country, and blues.  The vocals have some grit with just the right touch of  country tone.

Great, raw vocals! Good old style blues pop, with vocals shifting from warm whispering to growling like Sam Brown

Your usual classy stuff… wonderful cello and even more terrific vocal. Really bluesy and dramatic. Great anguish in the voice. Terrific lyric. ‘Peace on earth postponed again’ A great line! A babulous commentary on a shallow world. Really terrific stuff.

The streets are wrapped in tinsel
the smiles all look the same
Every store's got a soundtrack
and each one's to blame
I hum a line of something real
it fades into the air
Guess no one buys a Christmas song
that tells you it's unfair

All these empty wrappers
shining on the floor
Used to hold a feeling
don't fit anymore
Tried to write you truth
but it came out wrong
Now I'm stuck in December
with another sad song

There's glitter on the guitar
and hope on credit cards
And peace on earth's postponed again
it's written in the stars
I tried a rhyme with "snowfall"
but it melted when I played
Seems love don't stand a chance
when every chord's cliche

Empty wrappers
pretty lies and bows
Cover up the quiet
no one shows
If joy's a candle
mine burned too long
Just wax on the windows
and a half-finished song

Maybe I'll hang my blues
by the chimney tonight
See if truth fits under
the tree's cold light
Maybe Santa's tired too
with nothing left to bring
Except another chorus
we forgot how to sing

Empty wrappers
rustle when I leave
Even silence
sounds like make-believe
But I'll keep on playing
low and strong
'Cause maybe next Christmas
the truth's still a song
