It's not the snow, it's not the holly ....

Something in the air at Christmas
Wakes the very best that’s in us
Like a warm good will elixir toasting hope and cheer

Thoughts return to love and peace
Forgiving brings us sweet release
As we say a grateful prayer for things that we hold dear

CHORUS
Why must we wait 'til it’s Christmas?
We can keep the Yuletide spirit all the year
Spend our time with folks we love, be generous and kind
And make it feel like Christmas all the time

When I find I’ve lost my way
And good intentions start to fray
I close my eyes and picture Christmas til my faith’s restored
I see trees all strung with lights
Feel the chill of snow-filled nights
Til the spirit that’s within me cannot be ignored
Ch
Why do we wait until it’s Christmas?
We can keep the Yuletide spirit all the year
Spend our time with folks we love, be generous & kind
And make it feel like Christmas all the time
Break
FA-LA-LA, Let's make it feel like Christmas
Holly Jolly Christmas all the time
Alt Verse
It’s not the snow; it’s not the holly
Not bell-ringing Santas or the ones that are jolly
It's not the singers, the strudel, or the pies
It’s the spirit of Christmas that's inside
CHORUS
We don't have to wait until it’s Christmas
Let's keep the Yuletide spirit all the year
Spend our time with folks we love, be generous and kind
And make it feel like Christmas
Make it feel like Christmas
Let's make it feel like Christmas all the time.
Holly Jolly FA-LA-LA, it’s Christmas

I LIKE YOU - covered by Fletcher Sheridan

With all the separatism we are witnessing in the world today, I wanted to create a song that reinforces a "brotherhood of man" feeling.   That warm and fuzzy feeling hits most of us 'round Christmas, and I, for one, do wish it could stay that way.  Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=om43-HE8i7I



merry christmas from the jews - music and lyrics - joseph aronesty
vocals, joseph aronesty, larry treadwell and  the diaz sisters


Here's wishing you a very merry Christmas
We hope the season fills your hearts with joy
Take a look around!  There's so much we could be worried about
But hey, it's Christmas, and no one wants to cry or pout.

So we wish you a merry Christmas
Don't you wish it could stay like christmas?

The holly jolly merry days of Christmas
We like to eat and play and drink
And we love to shop 
Kid's off from school, hang out with friends and it's all cool
And we don't stop, not until the big ball drops.

So we wish you a merry xmas
Wish it could stay like christmas

ding dong dong ding
the children sing ..
they see the tree
it seems to say "there could be something in this for me"

Wish we were joining you this year for Christmas 
But it's getting colder each day
"so we're flying somewhere warm"

And yes it true 
That we are Jews
But say it's Christmas, and we sort of get the point!
(chorus with many jewish voices)
merry christmas, merry christmas to you
merry christmas, merry christmas from the jews

Don't you wish it could stay like christmas
With all the gifts and yummy dishes
We're sending out good vibes and mitzvahs
'cause we wish it could stay like christmas

merry christmas, happy new year, what's new?
merry christmas from the Jews

Merry Christmas From the Jews

Put down your toys. Turn off the noise. Focus on love. 
Original song by Joe Z. A demo for your interpretation.

Lets Focus

While visiting my grand-daughter in NYC, this song stayed with me whilst I observed kids playing in Battery Park. "Dogs playing with kids" is always a magical moment. Dogs innately understand our body language, and children discover they too have the power to communicate without words.

Note: This is a ruff cut :) We welcome other recording artists to take this very cool tune on.  josepharonesty@gmail.com

Big Dog Coming Around

This song was born on Wednesday morning, when we learned that my ex-classmate, Donald Trump became the 45th president of the USA with a little help from his criminal friends & Russian agents. His twisted version of the GOP agenda puts hard-working Americans and our environment in real jeopardy. RAISE OUR VOICES is the mantra for the resistance. I figured needed to be a song for easier internalization and staying power.  "There ain't nothing we can't do."

Raise Our Voices - Joseph Aronesty

I created this anthem/gospel song to provide inspiration and hope for the resistance (and myself). Boycott companies that do business with fascist leaders whenever possible.  Attack their greed disease. It is their weakness. I went to Penn with DT. Spoiled rotten. He paid for his homework at age 20!

RAISE OUR VOICES – Joseph Aronesty

Wednesday morning, time to wake up!
Wednesday morning, reachin’ for my cup
Put my coat on, stepped out in the reign
Something told me, we’re headed for some pain

I worried all night, what have we done?
We put a man upstairs and he's waiving a gun
But this is our homeland! We’re not gonna run
Let’s send ‘em a message , we’ve just begun! 

Let’s raise our voices! Let the love fill up the room
Raise our voices! Change will follow soon
Sing together and work to make this right! * 
There ain’t nothing we can’t do if we raise our voices.

Talked to my neighbor, for his point of view
He said he kinda liked the man, and I should like him too
Went to the preacher, please tell me what’s right
He read from the bible and showed me the light
	
Then he said: Raise our voices! Let the love fill up the room 
Raise our voices, change is coming soon
Sing together till the angels hear us pray
There ain’t nothing we can’t do if we raise our voices.

Buddha, Allah, Jesus Christ!
You teach us love to make things nice 

Wednesday evening back in my room
I feel the change is coming … can’t you feel it too?
So baby baby hurry over soon
Let’s flip the script, Lets change this tune

Let’s raise our voices! Let the love fill up the room 
Raise our voices and change will follow soon
Sing together late into the night
There ain’t nothing we can’t do if we raise our voices. 
United we fight this, we can’t be divided, the light is inside us
Yeah!
Raise our voices, raise our voices
Raise!
Our voices … 

Feel free to contact josepharonesty@gmail.com
Stay vocal people.

Raise  Our  Voices ~ The LA Resistance

Lockdown got you down? You are not alone.

Im so sick of this shit
Cant take it,

Sick Of This Shit

If you're travelin' down the road
And you get a flat and your car gets towed, well
Ain't no big thing, just take it with style
And learn to sing the blues with a smile

If your baby calls you honey
Then she takes off with all your money, well
Ain't no big thing, just walk another mile
And learn to sing the blues with a smile

Everybody gets the blues
And you wont win 'til you learn to lose
So greet your disappointments with a great big grin!

And pretty soon your luck will turn
And you'll be reaping what you've earned
So learn to sing the blues with a smile
And everyone will love you ... for a while.

When I'm down and things be wrong
I lose myself in a cool blue song
And listening to the sad songs
Somehow makes me smile.

And pretty soon I see things change
And I feel happy for all the long I have gained
So go on now, sing your blues with a smile
And everyone will love you ... for a while.
