if you’re one of those people
who go crazy over Christmas
tell me do you know 
what Christmas is even about?
why don't I tell you what Christmas is about
it’s gonna get a little bit choppy
so grab on to me...

some folks decorate an evergreen tree
none can agree
on what the trees symbolize
some say renewal
others say eternal life
or could be just the way 
we shake down nature for a prize

it’s either Jesus or it’s pagan

some people sing carols 
about reindeer in the snow
to celebrate a certain Middle Eastern birth
and some sing “I don’t want
a lot for Christmas”
as they max out their credit card

it’s either St. Nick or Coca-Cola

so let’s gather round family and friends
then look at others for what triggers or offends
that’s because what Christmas is all about
is telling others what their Christmas
should be about

me tell you all about Christmas
(he'll tell you all about Christmas)

many hate their own tradition’s Xmas
let alone vestiges of Roman Saturnalia
for some goody-two-shoes it is a chance to flex—
must rally hard for all demonic practices to go belly up
 
you know the Yule log’s probably Satan

Western kids write to Santa
and ask for massive presents
the same guy who used to beat up
naughty children with a stick
(he could really jingle bells, jingle bells)
he owns a factory up North now
and skims from his elves’ wages
I guess a useful lesson—it pays to be a dick

does he ever make it down to Angola?

gather round, my dear family and friends
let’s look at the neighbors for what triggers and offends
we know too well what Christmas is about
It’s about judging others and calling the heathens out!

All About Christmas

Give Me A Sign Bruno

Sanctus is an uplifting instrumental meditation.

Inspired by sacred harmonic traditions but shaped with modern restraint, the piece explores reverence without sentimentality.

Slow-building textures and open intervals create space rather than spectacle.

Joyful. Measured. Intentional.

Sanctus

An instrumental rock track with synths, experimental*

Fear of Fear

The Highest Place, electronic rock*

Awash in dreams of an otherworld, a lush sound from afar, the call of what lies beyond the void between places.

Down The Rabbit Hole

It's based on the process of murder someone before and after the fact, but it's applying to many other situations where it's hard to assume the reality

You Don't Know

Ti guardo andare via
Mentre attraversi la strada
Nessuna magia
Ormai non sei più mia
(Semmai lo sono stata)

Cercare di cavare
sangue da una rapa
No, non fa per me
Per me
Non ho più tempo da perdere

Carattere difficile
Ti fai mille menate
Volevo un po’ di coccole
Ma sei insopportabile

Tornare insieme no,
non avrebbe un senso
Lo so Oh oh
Però, in fondo alla mia anima, c’è ancora qualcosa che brucia per te, per te, per te
Forse si chiama amore-eh-eh
(che brucia per te)

Chiaro che
Alla tua età
dovresti assumerti
qualche responsabilità
(oltre alle sostanze)

Inutile sperare
che tu possa cambiare
sai fare solo male
mi sento proprio male

Tornare insieme no,
non avrebbe un senso
Lo so oh oh Però…
Però, in fondo alla mia anima, c’è ancora qualcosa che brucia per te, per te, per te
Forse si chiama amore-eh-eh
(che brucia per te)

Forse si chiama Amore

FakeU7777 - Forse si chiama Amore [FREE DL]

A piano ballad with strings that build throughout - a change of pace from my usual stuff. It's about chasing something that feels just out of reach and getting caught in those circular patterns. My first shot at arranging strings, which added a new dimension to the quiet piano and vocals.

Heaven like that
