In the lead-up to Christmas this year, I’ve noticed this undercurrent of stress. This is my first Christmas on my own. It is a strange feeling that catches me unaware from time to time. Even though I have friends and family I will be in touch with (thank God), this is the first time I sit down to Christmas dinner with no one beside me physically.
So to stop myself from overindulging in pre-Christmas food, I decided to funnel that feeling into a song.
It is about how this strange feeling creeps up on you along the path to Christmas day after you finish sending and unwrapping presents and Christmas cards.
Usually, only paying subscribers have early access to the rough demos I record. However, since it IS Christmas, I’m sharing it with everyone!
