great rhythm guitar. vocals could use a few more takes to nail every note maybe? unless you're going for a Gord Downie style...

though it might already be too late for another christmas song, here is my own first one, and probably the only one - I felt inspired writing the lyrics on my way home to my parent's house while I was listening to good old Sufjan Steven's beautiful tracks in the train.

Like every year in december here I am.
Filthy windows in the train, can't look outside.
The fields are still green,
and there's no snow for Christmas this year.

I don't know what the weather's like in Michigan.
But Sufjan Stevens seems a good idea to get out of hear.
Right now...

Left my baby home four years now, we don't know it any other way.
And oh there would be so much more to say.
We leave our childhood behind and all we try to find is a place,
that is similar to the one our parents created in our mind.

For I've never been to Illinois,
but if it's as beautiful as Sufjan Stevens voice,
let's go there - right now...

Decisions I made, my life it changed.
And no one ever taught me right or left,
so I left and here I am like every year in december,
getting lost behind filthy windows.
