"I'm Not Really in the Christmas Mood This Year" by Foxtails Brigade

[dccrimson]

I think I'm in love. I don't suppose you're available for adoption? One never has enough daughters after all. :)

[BuddhaWeeps]

Beauty!

[royeh]

Sounds like me this year. Lovely sound.

[AkumosBDF]

Good stuff!

[MrJemmyJoe]

Sounds like Chet Baker, but without Chet Baker.

[Andolini99]

I think the video really enhances the whole experience. I've been posting a link everywhere, and I bought the CD. All of a sudden, I'm in the Christmas mood!  Go figure!

[buffbeer1]

Exactly how I feel...

[ericvel]

Beautiful song. I'm in awe of you guys!

[theyulelogs]

bravo from a yule log, loved it when you played it at Amnesia. i think we need to step up our game...

[superduty]

Really nice job guys, very reminiscent of 20's composers and latterly August Darnell compositions..

[badtechno]

Check out "Reindeer Makin it Rain". Crazy reindeer.

[ApeIncognito]

A Kotaku writer just linked this, so more listeners on the way!

[TheLifePerfect]

Very Awesome.

[ThisistheEndAGAIN]

lyrics continued:

Rain freezes to snow.

All children grow old.

And though the new year begins

A sweet little dream ends.

And moving through the motions we can pantomime content,

exchanging gift-wrapped tokens of the money that we spent.

But repetition makes it hard not to see right through.

Our time has come and passed, it's clear.

So I'm not really in the Christmas mood this year.

[ThisistheEndAGAIN]

Lyrics: The little ones with wholesome hearts look forward in delight to decoration trees in awe of each and every light but as for me it's nothing new, a phase I long outgrew although this time, it once was dear I'm not really in the Christmas mood this year The holiday films that they show where everyone is gay and quarrels with a charm that somehow makes it all ok but families are fickle things and in reality a tenderness is lost, it's clear so I'm not really in the Christmas mood this year.

This was also posted on kotaku.com. I am now a fan!

[violaduck]

Beautiful voice, beautiful orchestration, loaded with melancholy. Not exactly the "norm" in Christmas songs, which is one reason I like it.

[SPONGEBOB20]

@violaduck I like it because while the lyrics are against what we expect, it sounds like a really good Christmas song.

[ANGRYMAPLE]

Here's to another shit christmas, and another year of nothing working out. Cheers everyone

[peace4myheart]

beautiful. her voice makes me want to not be in a Christmas mood this year either =P

[goddeh69]

Nice work, the song is cool, good performance, and I especially liked having the musicians make an appearance. Loved all the tilt shift cinematography too!
