So we're approaching Christmas again (and Hannukah, and Kwanzaa, and others, but for the sake of this post Christmas is the point.)
Every year, I am dissapointed by all the people who complain about Christmas music. Some of the complaints have some factual basis: cheesy, repetitive, and those I understand even if I don't agree with them. But some of the complaints completely confound me, such as claims that they are "too happy" which is apparently "not natural." My question is: why is that a bad thing? Why is it a bad thing that for just one month a year, we are expected to be happy. Personally I support happiness year round, but apparently I'm just about the only one.
So in order to create a little holiday cheer, I'm going to continue my Sugarland project by adapting thier Christmas album (almost all of which is original music by the way, thus disproving the theory that Christmas music is just identical reproductions of the same handful of songs.)
Anyway here is the beginning of my version of Sugarland's Gold and Gold and Green
-Gold and Green-
Golden glow bathes my home.
Candle sticks flicker shades.
Butterscotch melts on wick.
Sparkling snow glimmers bright.
Optic tricks fill the dark.
Diamonds, watch, reflect stars.
Twinkletrees standing high
White but warm guarding heart.
Green of life, sliver sparks.
Darkness flees in moments.
Colour storm on sky's coast.
Peace is rife with lit dark.
