Adventure Time What Am I To You

Someone To Love For Christmas
Lyrics and Music by Roy Braverman ©
 
We've all got something to learn from Christmas  
Something I'm sure that we all know  
We've all got something to learn from Christmas  
That's how to let our good side show 

All the troubles through the year  
Suddenly they disappear  
For only good thoughts, of only good times 

We all need someone to love for Christmas  
Someone to wrap a present for  
We all need someone to love for Christmas  
We can't be lonely anymore 

Sitting by the fireside  
Dreaming of a cold sleigh ride  
With only good thoughts, of only good times 
 All the sorrow in our heart  
That kept us all so far apart 
 Suddenly it brings us close together

(solo) 

Underneath the mistletoe 
 Letting one another know 

We've all got something to learn from Christmas  
We all need someone to love for Christmas



SomeoneToLoveForChristmas (2009 Version)

I make animated cartoons now, and I'm compiling soundtrack demos here. But I used to produce blues and jazz albums first for my own label, Oblivion Records, and then as a freelancer around New York.

Oblivion Records: 
In late 1971 my new friend Tom Pomposello and I decided to start a record company to record his music, and so I could become a record producer. He was 21, married with a small child, and owned a local hippie record store in Huntington, New York. I was 19, single, a college student in New York City. 

Tom loved the blues. I loved jazz, especially the avant garde variety. We both wanted to do more to promote artists we believed in. 

And it was the early 70s, the height of don’t trust anyone over 30 and the man can’t bust our music, and indie record culture was starting to flourish again. 

It seemed like a smart move not to start with the unknown Tom’s record —especially since we hadn’t figured out exactly what it would be yet— but we had a viable commercial tape we’d recorded of college concert star Mississippi Fred McDowell (with Tom on bass guitar) at the Village Gaslight in Greenwich Village. With the sales of this sure fire hit, we’d be on our way to the big time of indie labels. Our agreement was to make blues records for Tom and jazz records for me. We had a passion for underexposed American music and we were certain we’d be the two to bring unknown artists to prominence. 

The only question that lingered was where we would get the outrageous sum of $1800 to press the first 2000 copies? Tom came to rescue by bringing in our third partner Richard (Dick) Pennington, a friend of his from, uh, somewhere (I never actually found out). Dick stepped right up with enthusiasm and verve and stayed until our fourth album when he and Tom fell explosively out over something neither of them ever revealed. 

Tom chose the name “Oblivion” off of the back of a Leo Kottke LP and we released Obivion OD-1 —Mississippi Fred McDowell: Live in New York— in 1972; altogether we put out six records in four years (it still feels like 100 records in 1000 years) before we flamed out with musical dignity intact. Tom’s album was our last, so we had fulfilled our mission.
