this mini tree with the purple LEDs 03:37

I give to you this mini tree with the purple LEDs. You've given me new eyes and now everything is new again. Not sure how I can ever repay you. I give you all my love and this mini tree with the purple LEDs. Merry Christmas, my love. We keep talking about what lies ahead, but this is already more than I thought I would ever have. Everything else is icing. I give you this mini tree with the purple LEDs.

it's warm by the fireplace 02:58
lyrics

I see it's been a fortnight. In the next one I'll just ruminate. I'll make my way through city streets and I think I might have a whiskey. It'll burn these thoughts right out of me. Embrace this calm and emptiness tonight. These fears I have they just get worse when the year winds down, when I hesitate. With these new surroundings my memory resets again. Christmas as an influence. Christmas as a train of thought, you just can't catch this one. Why is my voice so tremulous? It's so warm by the fireplace. I am anchored by all the things that I can't tell them. Not place, not time, just the seasons as they fall away. It's all the dreary afternoons that I awake and I am still alive. I feel so alive. Do you feel alive?

about

I'm in Nagoya, Japan for Christmas this year.

Writing and recording for my song was done over six hours at a practice space nearby with the help of my new friends Tom and Hiro. Kannan and Brian knocked out a catchy track back in Chicago to lead off the album. And I've spent the last few late nights mixing all the tracks just in time for Christmas in JST.

We've all really enjoyed the challenge of putting this one together for everyone. Merry Christmas from Japan!

-Chris
