It's Magic At Christmas By Stevie Ritchie (Charity single 2023)

A lamentful ode to the dreams of winter and the holidays, and all the things we do to prop them up. Happy Holidays!

Snow’s fallin’ but the crowd keeps callin’
Lights flashin’ like the night’s installing
A brand-new beat with a holiday shine
Raise your cups, it’s Christmas time

Boots on the floor, everybody moves tighter
Sweater game strong, but the vibe’s even brighter
Jingle bells ring with a funky little swing
Tonight we dance, let the Christmas cheer begin

Turn it up, let the rhythm ignite
Candy canes spark when they hit the strobe light
Hands in the air, feel the cheer take flight
We’re rockin’ this holiday night

Jingle all night—hey!
Turn up the lights—yeah!
We’re makin’ this party shine so bright
Let the bells sway—woo!
We don’t stop till day
Dance through the snow like we’re sleighin’ the night away

Frosty on the rooftop groovin’ with the bass
Rudolph in the back with that red-light face
Santa’s in the booth droppin' beats just right
Ho-ho-hold up—this is our night

Sippin’ on joy with a peppermint twist
Every memory hits like a holiday kiss
Shimmer like tinsel in the neon glow
Spin around fast like a mistletoe show

Turn it up, let the rhythm ignite
Candy canes spark when they hit the strobe light
Hands in the air, feel the cheer take flight
We’re rockin’ this holiday night

Jingle all night—hey!
Turn up the lights—yeah!
We’re makin’ this party shine so bright
Let the bells sway—woo!
We don’t stop till day
Dance through the snow like we’re sleighin’ the night away

Let the jingles jingle
Let the stars all mingle
Every heartbeat syncing to the beat we sprinkle
Spin around, cheer loud, get lost in the sound
Tonight the North Pole turned the whole world upside down

Jingle all night—hey!
Turn up the lights—yeah!
We’re makin’ this party shine so bright
Let the bells sway—woo!
We don’t stop till day
This Christmas groove is here to stay

Jingle All Night!

From the Midwest seed-bed of indie-rock, Carswell & Hope bring vintage rock sounds and sensibilities together with big harmonies, killer guitar hooks and rocking tunes. Songwriter Nick Carswell is originally from Ireland and has found a new home on the plains of Kansas. The tone is a blend of psychedelic, Pink Floyd interrupting Motown, channeling Glen Hansard and Wilco. Think Mumford & Sons meets Sigur Ros, and Josh Ritter shows them around town.
