about

In December 2017 Kevin Bentley came to rehearsal with a fun idea for a Christmas song. After some cheerful revelry, we jammed on a basic idea. Zil recorded it on his phone. Almost a year later, we pulled it back out, jammed some more, and started filling in some lyrics. With the song not quite finished, we went into the studio with Matt Muir at Kawari Sound to see what would happen. We're all super pumped with the result. It's a Christmas miracle!

lyrics

It’s Xmas Time Again

All alone on Xmas eve
Miles away from home
I got a feeling that I’m gonna see the bottom of this bottle

Sitting here in O’Hare
Trying to get from here to there
Wishing I was home again with you

It’s Xmas time again
So you better be good
It’s Xmas time again
So you better be good

Lights are on, but no one’s home
I got no place to be
I’ve heard this Xmas song a thousand times before

Tomorrow I’ll be home with you
But for now I’ll get my company
At the diner down on second avenue

It’s Xmas time again
So you better be good
It’s Xmas time again
So you better be good … she said

Last time we spoke I choked on my words
This time it’s real. This time I know you’ll feel it too

It’s been so long since of seen you, girl
Over 20 years
Your mama took you far away, she said she had to go
I don’t know what you think of me, but I always think of you
All the times we spent away
When Christmas’ were blue

It’s Xmas time again
So you better be good
It’s Xmas time again
So you better be good … she said
