[Verse 1]
It’s four in the morning, the first day of Christmas
I’m writing you now, just to get on your good list
New York is cold, but I like where I’m living
They’re jingling their bells, all through the evening
I heard that you’re building your house by the North Pole
You’re giving for nothing, I hope you don’t hit a debt-hole.



[Verse 2]
And Jane came by with a lock of your beard
She said that you gave it to her, the night you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?
Last time we saw you, you looked so much older
Your famous red costume was torn at the shoulder.



[Chorus]
Oh, I now believe in you, I’m ready to believe
I just wanted to ride in your sleigh on Christmas Eve
Yeah, the world is getting colder, but the fire’s getting bright
In your famous red costume, under the neon light.



[Verse 3]
You’d been to the grotto to see all of the reindeer
You left without seeing Rudolf or Dasher
And you treated my daughter to some merch of Taylor Swift
And when she came back, she was nobody’s kid
She was dancing in the snow, she was lost in the drift.



[Bridge]
I see you there, with a mince pie in hand
Another big, jolly, broken-hearted man
I see Jane’s awake, she sends her regards
From the city of lights and the Hallmark cards
So what can I tell you, my brother, my killer?
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I’ve been acting okay.



[Outro]
If you ever come back, for Jane or for me
Well, I’ve been a good boy, I’ve unblocked my chimney
And thanks for Jane’s doll, that wets, pukes and cries
I thought they were sold out, I didn't even try
Yeah, Jane came by with a lock of your beard
She said that you gave it to her…

The night you planned to go clear.
Did you ever go clear?
Merry Christmas, my friend.

Merry Christmas My Friend (By Shane Kelly)

Calm After Midnight captures the moment when the night begins to slow down, the crowd thins out, and only the essence of the dancefloor remains. It’s the space between motion and stillness — where sound becomes feeling and rhythm turns inward.

The journey opens with “Calm in the Noise”, a track that finds serenity within chaos. Warm textures and restrained energy create a sense of balance, like breathing steadily while the world moves fast around you.

With “Keep It Moving”, the pulse continues without pressure. It’s a steady, confident groove that carries you forward, subtle but persistent — made for late hours when momentum matters more than intensity.

“Midnight on the Dancefloor” forms the emotional center of the release. Deep, hypnotic, and immersive, it reflects that moment after midnight when time dissolves and the connection between body, space, and music becomes absolute.

The release closes with “We Rise in the Break”, a track about renewal and collective energy. Out of the quiet, strength returns — a reminder that even in the pauses, movement and hope are already forming.

Calm After Midnight isn’t about peaks or drops. It’s about what lingers after them. Music for the hours when the lights are low, the mind is clear, and the night still has something left to say.
