This was the last thing recorded during the session with my cousin Julian on drums. I asked him if he wanted something fast or mellow. He chose mellow so I played the music from a parody Gap Commercial jingle I wrote in the late 90’s. It’s sorta a declaration of sincerity.
lyrics
We’d like to wish you a very merry Christmas
We hope you like our little snarky offering
No need to doubt our pious intentions
We just don’t care much for convention
What it means to us
Isn’t what it means to you
We know it can be so beautiful
And the real problem is people
What it means to us, and means to you
Doesn’t have to be approved
No need for an angle just a point of view
It’s not up to us to judge you
But the sun rises on Christmas Day/ would you like to celebrate
Our likes outweigh our differences/ we all have life sentences
We wouldn’t ask where you’re from/ or where you wanna go
We’ve held your place at the table/ it’s time to break bread
