Stunning on a hundred thousand levels.. Seamlessly blending genres and phases, I feel this song can be listened to a near infinite number of times without the inability to find something new to like about it. Exhibiting a vast array of well-played instruments paired with clear vocal mastery, it has been a favourite of mine for a very long time now, and I still come back for it... something I doubt will ever change. Thank you, brilliant artists, for this aural wonder!
Yup, in a interview with Kevin in 2004 about the album he said "Well, there are some songs on the new record that I wrote for Nina, my wife, that are just love songs. "Your Magic is Working," "Lysergic Bliss," also "Climb the Ladder." "
@XreverseXanielmX it's the sleigh bells in the beginning and the pep that later ensues and then the tamborine, actually it's just everything that, every element that adds on to eachother. the jangly guitar. the sweet vocals.
come on after 2:43 you know they just repeat blather. BUT when they play this song live its just epic and they dont play that part too long only about 20 seconds which is perfect.
Christmas Music? In what tradition. If anything, I'd say it has a little bit of a 1960s pop sound mixed with LSD, served with a sprig of mint. Or something like that. 60s and drugs. No religious holidays. That you just get it is the point.
@SgtSoprano It kind of has the flavor of White Christmas by the Drifters mixed with Jingle Bell Rock. If you disagree, just blame it on lysergic logic ;)

"Love the way you wear your curly hair; sanguine and spiraling, tied in a bun.
Love the way it falls about your face, mercurially gilded by the sun."
One of the most romantic lines, I have ever read, ever!

Love the way it falls about your face

If we were a pair of jigsaw puzzle pieces
we would connect so perfectly"
Kevin Barnes can give a song so much of a party feel and still have lyrics that wrench your hear and create some wild imagery. I love it so much.

Why would you critic people using this as Christmas music, it's their choice, and personally I can see how this has a little cosy sound to it.

this sounds like fuckin christmas music
not my favorite genre ever
I have to say
that songs in the genre "christmas music" usually rank pretty low with me
but this isn't bad for a christmas song
not quite white christmas by elvis
but it's maybe in the top 1/3 of christmas songs
which puts it in the bottom 1/3 of all music ever written, not bad tho Om, keep those recommendations coming...
