Fireside 02:58
Icy branches tapping all night long Drum the rhythm of a winter song Kettle whistles while the spirits pour Passing carolers from door to door Snow is falling soft and bright Covering the quiet pines Everyday we’re losing light Gather round the fireside Stacks of wood against the old stone hearth Carried in beneath December stars Webs of ice across the window pane Footprints left along the frozen lane Snow is falling soft and bright Covering the quiet pines Everyday we’re losing light Gather round the fireside

Silver Bells 02:43

about

Jess, John Mark, and I came together to make two holiday recordings inspired largely by an arrangement of "Silver Bells" Jess had come up with last Christmas. She flipped the chords in the final chorus to make the refrain wrap around itself, leaning minor, in a way that made the song somber without feeling sad.

We decided to accompany this take on Silver Bells with an original holiday song in similar emotional territory: joyful, but contemplative; secular, but reverent. What we found while writing "Fireside" together was a crisp homage to indoor rumination in December, and keeping warm with loved ones when daylight is brief and winter nights are long.

The songs are deceptively serene, layering Youngs’ infectious pop sensibilities atop lush, dreamy arrangements that often belie the swift emotional currents lurking underneath. ... more
