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

Lyrics:

We met at the base of a mountain 
of glamour and garbage, vice, treacle and fame 
We'd congregate and we'd be counted 
to keep track of each fallen star 
The stones, they all cried out against us 
The mountain collapsed and fell into the ocean 
We dove in and sank where none could swim 
We died in pursuit of the things we loved most 

Nature herself would deny us 
The wilderness wept and the tides all rolled in 
Nightfall would invariably find us 
soaking in vomit and brine 
Our would-be rescuers mistook us 
for wreckage in bilge-water, passing us over and 
moving on to more welcoming shores 
We were last seen where the sea meets the sky

The Mountain

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.
