There's a real mournful thread running through this album - great songs and great playing with understated vox and intriguing, clever lyrics. Great stuff!
I'm horrible at foreign languages. So I apologize to anyone who is actually trying to translate this. It came to me spontaneously. Here's my interpretation. It could mean "Saint Love"... which references a song I wrote in 2002... and yet this…
Bookending the "Late December" CD, this song about my little girls on Christmas morning holds a special place in my heart. Thanks to Sam and Mick for making it perfect.
