New Music Sunday
Sundays are made for new music. At least, in my world they are. Nothing better than sitting down with a cup of tea on a quiet Sunday and finding some new tunes to get me through the coming week.
This Sunday is all about Christmas albums. I’ve become addicted to tracking down Christmas music that I actually like. Turns out, my friends and favourite artists actually make that task fairly easy. Here are a few of the albums I’ll be treating myself to this week:

I’d love to hear your recommendations - anything I’m missing out on?
Hey, look at Jess being all nice!
Ardvent. Day 9. “Hide The Whole Deck (Silent Night)”
I changed the words to Silent Night for no discernable reason.
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
We stayed close as the storm grew outside
Buttered toast and a painful goodbye
Pull together a smile
Pull together a smile
I can’t speak, I feel weak
Went for glib, came out bleak
If we’re sinking all that’s left is hope
Make a raft of it, see if it floats
We’ll find ourselves lost at sea
We’ll find ourselves lost at sea
Press on still, lungs to fill
Distant words, linger still
They echo through from when you leaned in,
They say, “This world’s a bastard, but don’t let it win.
Hide the whole deck up your sleeve.
Hide the whole deck up your sleeve.”
Quench this thirst with sounds and words
Lies creep in to aid this blur
I dream of a time when I’ll dream in my sleep
Make my voice crack to seem tortured and deep
In truth I prefer your deceit
In truth I prefer your deceit
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
We stayed close as the storm grew outside
Buttered toast and a painful goodbye
Pull together a smile
Pull together a smile
