Description: A collection of Christmas classics and originals from Yonder Breaks!

Looking at you
Looking at me
Two mirrors reflecting mine
Smiling at you
Smiling at me
The edges of my life define

My life was in color
Now the details I can see
And I knew what love was
But it never felt so deep
Looking at you I see
The very best of me

Laughing at you
Laughing at me
Two notes in harmony
Crying with you
Crying with me
Makes my sorrow taste so sweet

My life was in color
Now the details I can see
And I knew what love was
But it never felt so deep
Looking at you I see
The very best of me

Feeling your little head on my shoulder 
Holding your little heartbeat a little closer
How could I know as you grow a little older
This is a love I won't get over

Growing with you
Growing past me
Taking steps I feared to take
Hoping that you
Never lose hope, dear
This world is yours to make

My life was in color
Now the details I can see
And I knew what love was
But I never felt so deep
Looking at you I see
The very best of me

The Very Best Of Me

I wrote this in January 2005, and have performed it solo many times but it took a while to get it recorded.

Each verse (and the bridge) is a scene from the Ithaca, NY area.

Lyrics:

a flash of gold
a flash of green
a flash of something old you
thought you never should've seen
a flash of alabaster
a flash of white, and after that
a flash of insight into
something gray you'd thought was unclean

rolling down the hillside,
tired and in no gear
the city lights below you,
up ahead a deer just crossed the road
 
you missed the sign,
but it occurs to you that
you are here.
 
you bought your ticket,
you paid the price:
you made your way here
slogging through the snow and ice
the sound and motion
wake you from sleep, mm
but it's the silence
that pulls you in deep.
 
come and dance with me,
i'm sitting very still
come sing your passion to the rooftops
and in the mumbled echo you might hear your name
 
there's only one way
to find out whether
you are here.
 
circling to land
the end of the line
no connecting flights
there's only one way to travel,
and that's forward in time.
 
i had a vision,
it went like this:
a quiet sunbeam
and a forest kiss
it led me forward, but
now it's so far away
and when I glimpse it, it
only leads to yesterday
 
how can i run in darkness, flying into fear?
but if i listen close and stay standing here,
will it come to me?
 
it all comes to this,
and this is you,
and you are here.

Bio

Yonder Breaks is Rick Bickerstaff, a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter from Los Angeles, California. Originally from Charleston, South Carolina, the roots of bluegrass/folk and country/western show up in songs like "This Life of Us" and "Money Ain't Nothin'." But the influence of coastal living, along with a strong passion for surfing is not left out; particularly in "More Beautiful" and "Like a Song," which are about his wife and oldest daughter, respectively.

Yonder Breaks performs often around Los Angeles, where you can see him tell stories and sing songs about fatherhood, faith, career and creative pursuits. He also enjoys writing blogs, fiction, and shooting skate videos with his two daughters.

Fun fact: Rick and his wife are avid fans of Christmas, and even got married a week prior. As a result, you'll often hear sleigh bells where they don't belong in Yonder Breaks music.
