Our original song from our 2015 Christmas album "December Nights" features Four Freshmen-inspired close harmony, Phil Spectoresque production, and a dramatic minor-key coda. Merry Christmas!

Lyrics:

The falling of the snow 
the stillness of the air 
on December nights 
they will always remind me of you 
the feeling hasn't died 
it is always inside us 
just buried in snow 

Chorus: 
I wanna be with you on Christmas Eve 
I wanna decorate our little tree 
December nights are so long 
I wanna sing Christmas songs with you and 
I wanna be with you on Christmas Eve 

The frost upon the windows 
the glistening of snowflakes 
on December nights 
they will always remind me of you 
how we never made the time 
for the spirit to find us 
we just stayed awake 

(Chorus) 

Are you still awake like I? 
Looking at the snow outside? 
Every day we lost some light 
I hope you're staying warm tonight 

Now the sky is getting bright 
with glowing rays of morning light 
the moon is fading out of sight 
so I bid the night goodbye 
I wanna be with you on cold December nights

December Nights

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

Our bizarre, groovy and experimental interpretation of the traditional Christmas song, from our second Christmas EP, "December Nights"!

O Come O Come, Emmanuel

This song is meant to replicate the violent and unpredictable mood swings of a possessive, monstrously abusive spouse/partner. Some may find the subject matter upsetting.

Lyrics:

I will confess what there is to confess 
I will tell you the truth, no matter what the expense 
I will forgive what there is to forgive 
and I will love you for just as long as you live 

I'm going to cut you into bits 
I'm going to gut you like a fish 

You're mine, don't you ever forget it 

I will repent of time selfishly spent 
far away from you, I cursed every place where I went 
I will adore you each day more and more 
I will carry you through, I will see you ashore 

I'm going to cut you into bits 
I'm going to gut you like a fish

Through a distinctive fusion of folk, rock, theatre and electronica, Mark Lenover critically examines pop culture’s ubiquitous influence, its moral philosophy and the potentially devastating effects of drug abuse and mental illness. His recent work frequently challenges an increasingly pervasive culture of celebrity, self-indulgence, distraction and desire.
