about

On a sunny December day in San Francisco a few years back, we gathered some friends and recorded this track to bring holiday cheer to all of you!

lyrics

Oh, the stars in the sky
How they shine here tonight
Out to guide me home

Now the snow starts to fall
And the wind, oh it's howling out
To greet me

And I don't know how I'll get there
On this cold and windy night
But love, I'll be home for Christmas tonight

Oh, the lines on the road
How they blend with the homes
Reds and greens

Keep the fire up for me
Leave the lights out on the tree

And I don't know how I'll get there
On this dark and stormy night
And although my body's aching
Oh love, I'll still hold you tight
Because Christmas isn't Christmas without you

Without you my dear
Oh the songs have no meaning here
I want you beside me
I need you beside me

You're where I want to be this New Year

And I don't know how I'll get there
On this cold and windy night
But love I'll be home for Christmas tonight

This EP was part of the "Bandcamp no-fee package" I've purchased on May 1st, 2020. This stunning work reminds me a bit of another interesting "generation project", created by Damon Shulman, which features his father and "Gentle Giant" co-founder Phil Shulman narrating some funny stuff, embedded in his own music. Gavin Castleton's songwriting is superb once again, sometimes getting real close to Brian Wilson's best classics. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
