✨ Better Together — Where the Dream Began

Better Together is where everything started. It was the moment when poetry became music, and the spark of a dream turned into something real. This was my first taste of the artist scene under LRDEE — not as a vocalist yet, but as a songwriter finding his voice through the words.

The songs on this album were created by Matt and I — two passionate lovers of music with a vision, shaping stories, melodies, and emotions long before we understood where this journey would eventually lead. A deeper love for music for both of us.  I wrote the songs, Matt carried the melody and delivery to the powerhouse this album was. Together we built the foundation that so much of my music still stands on today and I will always be grateful to him for that.

Better Together was more than an album.
It was the beginning of a path that led to Flicker and Flame, Her Version, It’s Showtime, and eventually Leo Roland and the Fireverse knocking It's Showtime out of the park.

This is where the dream began — two guys, one vision, and a belief that stories deserved to be heard.

Intro

Lyrics:

[Verse]
Let's sit beside the fire and watch the reindeer fly
Those presents sure are wrapped tight
I'll just shake them till I know what's inside
And I'll save you a bite of my cookies

[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe if we're lucky
There'll be some magic in the air
So pour me a drink and play the music

[Chorus]
We'll fall in love this Christmas
Like no one's ever done
Maybe we'll fall in love this Christmas
While the snow falls

[Verse 2]
I'll close my eyes and wait for midnight
Don't have to dream for a white Christmas this year
And in the morning we'll wake up by the tree and fireplace

[Chorus]
While the snow falls
We'll fall in love this Christmas
Like no one's ever done
Maybe we'll fall in love this Christmas

[Bridge]
And I'll be waiting
Waiting

[Chorus]
I'll be waiting for you this Christmas
I'll be waiting this Christmas

[Outro]
Babe
I'll be waiting
Waiting
And I'll be waiting
Waiting

This Christmas

Lyrics:

[Verse]
O holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth

[Chorus]
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O hear the angels' voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine
O night
O night divine

[Chorus]
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O hear the angels' voices
O night divine, yeah
O night divine

O Holy Night

Leo Roland is a South African singer-songwriter, producer, and storyteller whose music fuses raw emotion with cinematic power. As the creative heart behind LR Distribution Records, he delivers anthemic, soul-stirring songs that blend acoustic warmth with the intensity of rock — a style he calls acoustic metal.

His concept-driven albums, including Better Together, Flicker and Flame, and Phoenix, explore the full spectrum of human experience — from love and loss to faith, resilience, and rebirth. Each project forms part of a larger narrative arc, told through evocative lyrics, layered harmonies, and immersive soundscapes that capture the heart and imagination.

Produced and recorded under his own direction at LR Distribution Records, Leo collaborates with a network of gifted South African musicians to craft music that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable. His signature storytelling draws listeners into cinematic worlds where emotion meets melody, and every song tells a story that lingers long after the final note.

Beyond the studio, Leo lives a life of dual purpose — a “butcher by day, musician by night” — balancing his role as a business leader with his relentless pursuit of artistic expression. His journey is one of grit, gratitude, and growth, proving that true passion never fades — it only burns brighter with time.
