Description
This is a remixed version of our holiday song, simplified a bit. The Piano and vocal version, as it was originally intended We posted this last year with additional orchestration, which was mostly was an attempt to compensate for some noise by adding more noise. It's coming back this year with a more intimate mix, this time remixed in Logic Express. Kelli sings and Jim plays piano. Pretty simple really, but it's been really hard to mix because of that.

Lyrics
A Holiday Tune
Winter
everything white
everything still
and frozen
Christmas lights
twinkle in the night to passersby
headlights line the highways homeward
Streetlights meter out the traffic
blinking gold and red and green
as if to a holiday tune
All day long I had
Thoughts of you
I wonder how you are and if you're
warmer?
Now the corner bar once open
for the drunkards and the dreamers
Charlie finds a broom
thinks of an early conversation
and hums to himself a holiday tune
I won't speak of love
I won't speak of fairy tales
and I won't speak of things that
lovers do
Winter
everything white
everything still
and
An icy wind
sweeps down an empty street
Shoppers shuffle home with presents
in their hands
cold fingers in empty pockets
and on their lips
a holiday tune.
And for you a holiday tune.

I just heard a norwegian artist on TV talking about what should be present in a holiday tune to make it a good one.
She said, it's those kind of songs where you're allowed to sing about family joy and peace on earth and such. But there had to be an ingredient of familiar and near things like house work or other everyday aspects in it to make people associate with it.
And I think I agree. Your tune has those ingredients and voila - a true holiday tune:)
The sparse arrangement supports this and could sound like you two are in the same room. Kelli probably leaning against the piano, sipping to her mulled wine between the verses... Beautiful piano playing Jim - and lovely timbres in your voice Kelli.
Thank you.
