Christmas Music for the Austin Soul
Written by The Grapes & Friends, recorded at Stumbling Grounds Studios in Austin, TX.
Don't forget to come out to the HOLE IN THE WALL on DECEMBER 7th for the Grapes and Friends 5th Annual Christmas Extravaganza!!!!!

I wish that it would snow in Austin like I want it to
Cause then it'd be Christmas
And all the gifts that I got, I'll give it back to you,
Cause you are the one that I love

The lights on 37th Street a house in Cinammon Bay
Is right where I have you
And then two years ago, that night on Christmas Eve
We were falling in love

I with that it would snow in Austin, prayed for 20 feet
But it stays pretty warm here
I wanted it to snow in Austin, but it never does
I thought it'd be different in love
If I was falling in love, then the snow would be falling too
And we could have Christmas like the one in our dreams
Like the one I had of you...

I Wish That It Would Snow In Austin

"I Would Sell My Lungs" is the lead single from Chris Strand's sophomore album "Settle Down."

"Settle Down" is a meditation on what it means to exist, what it feels like to simply 'be' in this world. A confident lyricist, Strand's recent collection of songs find themselves straddling the gap between alt-folk and alt-country, as if he brought his boots to the show, but left his spurs at home. "Settle Down" files neatly between Ryan Adams, Nick Drake, David Bazan, and Slaid Cleaves. 

Produced by Jesse Ebaugh (Heartless Bastards), Rich Brotherton (Robert Earl Keen), Lloyd Maines, Brendon Anthony (Pat Green), Tiger Anaya and Mark Davis (The Gourds and Shinyribs), Strand's Settle Down is a confident sophomore release.

"Settle Down" is out on March 6th. Chris Strand will be performing at the Spider House Ballroom to celebrate its release on March 6th. Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/251801411654164/

December 10th @ Hole in the Wall

Lyrics:

I was downtown, I was making my rounds
And then a funny little things starts to happen
I decided that I might as well let it happen
You were coming out of the record store
Just a cozy little place on the corner of the street
In the middle of the day in broad daylight
I was just doing some Christmas shopping
Getting quarters for the kids
And a little something stronger for the adults, old folks
Pull up my collar and walked across that cold-ass street
Said its a damn good thing I got that brand new fleece
A Goretex fleece for two

Can I come home with your for Christmas?
Can we spend a little time alone?
Can I get stoned with you for Christmas?
Can I make you feel alright pretty baby, maybe?
I'm coming home with you for Christmas
And we can spend a little time alone.
See I know what you want, and you know I know how to give it baby...

It gets hard when its out of season
It gets hard when you know I care
Standing there on a black and while vinyl floor
You say it only comes once a year

Can I come home with your for Christmas?
Can we spend a little time alone?
Can I get stoned with you for Christmas?
Can I make you feel alright pretty baby, maybe?
I'm coming home with you for Christmas
And we can spend a little time alone.
See I know what you want, and you know I know how to give it baby...

I was downtown, I was making my rounds
And then a funny little things starts to happen
I decided that I might as well let it happen
