A Christmas song.
Paddy Uglow; piano, vocals, violin and whistle.

The last xmas song I wrote was about 25 years ago, so I thought I'd do another. I started months in advance but it wasn't going anywhere and got left on a scrap of paper. But I was trying out some sounds on my Roland JV1010 and picked up the words again, changed the song radically and it turned into this, which is either deeply moving or horribly slushy, depending on what kind of person you are. It shows that a Christmas single and video can be churned out and released online in just a few days.

A thousand LEDs,
Are wrapped around the trees.
And friends are fighting foe,
On every TV show.
All these thoughts combine,
Still after all this time.
It’s only once a year.
Won’t somebody, somebody raise a cheer?
It’s Christmas time.
The Christmas balls and chains.
It’s Christmas time,
But something still remains.
The season has arrived,
All stacked in ships fifty metres wide.
It comes so slow and then it’s gone so fast,
And every one must be better than the last.
Something stayed behind,
The tinsel and the wine.
The darkness and the light,
Are both in you tonight.
It’s Christmas time,
For all these balls and chains.
It’s Christmas time,
And something still remains.
It’s Christmas time,
Something still remains.
