christmastime is almost here
golden bells ring true and clear
in churches, cathedrals
hear the people singing songs
about an ancient love so strong
and lasting, everlasting
and when the merry carolers
knock at your door
let them in and hear them sing
christmas eve is days away
I wish it would be here to stay
forever, forever
the family’s in from out of town
friendly faces, smiles abound
rejoicing and comiserating
and when the merry carolers
knock at your door
let them in and hear them sing

my bags are packed for traveling
to some cold, distant place
far away from troubles here
that I could not face
christmas lights are gleaming
I can’t see the clear night sky
I’ve got no stars to follow
and I’ve got no reason why
I’m wishing for a wish this christmas
and there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do
to take this bruised old heart of mine
and replace it with one that's new
boots are worn from marching
down this snowy path
from taking me away from
the specters of my past
the road ahead is lonesome
the road behind is too
but if it takes lifetime
I’ll see this journey through
I’m wishing for a wish this christmas
and there’s nowhere that I wouldn’t go
to get the sun to shine inside
and melt down all my snow

ricky mirage Chicago, Illinois
Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist Nick Harris.
ricky mirage recommends:
In Love / with Love
by Sons of the West
straight shot of soulful garage rock, no chaser, brewed in Columbus and aged like a fine whiskey in Chicago
go to album
punchy power pop and rock 'n' roll that was born in basements and grew up in dive bars in and around Chi-town.
go to album
sibling harmonies reign supreme in this band's windswept mixture of folk and rock 'n roll, a sound that evokes desperate midwestern hope evaporating like morning dew before a crisp prairie sunrise.

Entirely analog, lush melodic pop with a tender heart from L.A. artist Human Barbie sounds bigger than the bedroom project it is.

An easy-to-love combination of emo and jangle pop, the first full album from Spirit Night in eight years feels bathed in a golden glow.

Scratchy, lo-fi rock from Melbourne’s The Stevens satisfies the sweet tooth on lazy summer days.
