From the recording Doesn't Feel Like Christmas (Without You) Campfire Sing Along
I grew up listening to the "Holiday Sing Along with Mitch Miller" album, and when making this track, I accidentally kept all the lead vocals up and it reminded me of that album. So, I re-imagined this song being sung around the campfire with just instruments you could have on a beach or outside around a campfire: guitar, handpan, sleigh bells, Udu drum, hand claps, and of course, voices. ...these voices just happen to know the harmony,
Lyrics
#Chorus
Choirs are singing about some silent night
It rings so hollow without you in the candlelight
I would trade it all to hear “I love you” one more time
Can’t shake this feelin’, no it doesn’t feel like Christmas without you
#Verse
The stockings are hung by the chimney with care
But there’s no snow on the ground there’s no nip in the air
Just a plastic snowman to muster some holiday cheer
Artificial greetings—recycled joy this year
#Verse
The lights on the tree twinkle white, red and green
All the memories hung on the bows in between
The one you gave me when you were still here
Hangs front-and-center—same place every year
#Chorus
And the choirs are singing about some silent night
It rings so hollow without you in the candlelight
I would trade it all to hear “I love you” one more time
Can’t shake this feelin’, no it doesn’t feel like Christmas without you
#Bridge
While Shroder lays some grooves down
The Grinch and Max come to town
And Rudolph hides his shiny nose
The silver bells keep mumblin’
The Christmas Cards keep comin’ in
“’tis the season,” so I’m told
#Chorus
And the choirs are singing about some silent night
It rings so hollow without you in the candlelight
I would trade it all to hear “I love you” one more time
Can’t shake this feelin’, no it doesn’t feel like Christmas without you
#Chorus
And the choirs are singing about some silent night
It rings so hollow without you in the candlelight
I would trade it all to hear “I love you” one more time
Can’t shake this feelin’, no it doesn’t feel like Christmas without you
