Steven Freebairn A lovely build on a classic Christmas song that will definitely make it into my yearly rotation. The guitar! The vocal harmonies!

lyrics

Silent night, Holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace

One night, of badly remembered history
Lifetimes, of magic and hope and mystery
What's so horribly wrong with that as
Magic's so commonly lost to habit
Round, and round in different
Sacred, and crowned traditions
Holy is, music round the
Christmas tree, and late night walks in
Thick winter coats to see
Houses on show I'll be
Damned if that's not enough for me

Bright eyes, and stinging red cheeks around a (Silent night)
Campfire, or walks in a peaceful wood and (Holy night)
School can preach, this is why how and always (Shepherds quake)
Life's too bleak, so go and ignore the school plays (At the sight)
Glories, are board games and a (Glories stream from)
Hot drink, while outside rains isn't (Heaven afar)
Heaven, awfully kind to give us (Heavenly hosts sing)
Christmas, what a perfect time for (Alleluia)
Half of the world to be (Christ the saviour is)
Wrapped up like pearls in a (born)
Sea of goodwill and hope (Christ the saviour is born)

One night, of badly remembered history (Silent night)
Lifetimes, of magic and hope and mystery (Holy night)
What's so horribly wrong with that as (All is calm)
Magic's so commonly lost to habit (All is bright)
Round, and round in different (Round yon virgin)
Sacred, and crowned traditions (Mother and child)
Holy is, music round the (Holy infant so)
Christmas tree, and late night walks in (Tender and mild)
Thick winter coats to see (Sleep in heavenly)
Houses on show I'll be (Peace)
Damned if that's not enough for me (Sleep in heavenly peace)
