It's that time of year
First snow's in the air
Your face all aglow
Sing a song you know
Strings of little lights
Candles burning bright
Your face all aglow
Sing a song you know
Though your heart may be heavy
Take my hand and you'll see
All I need is what's in front of me
to have a Merry Christmas now
Walk out in the cold
Sing a song you know
about
"I knew I wanted to write a Christmas song after the difficult year we’ve all had, because of how emotionally potent they can be. When I hear Judy Garland sing “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” I can’t help but well up with tears while still remaining hopeful. I came up with the chord progression on piano, but then I got covid. Thankfully I had a mild case, but not only was my motivation and creativity completely drained, I also couldn’t sing very well because of limited breath control. Luckily I recovered in time, and with the help and generosity of my friends and team I was able to finish this song in time to have it out just before Christmas. The song is called “Your Heart May Be Heavy” which I didn't consciously realize was an inversion of Judy’s “may your heart be light.” Merry Christmas to everyone muddling through, I hope this song in its small way can be a gift of cheer." -Anna Burch

ella has the sweetest voice. listening to it feels like floating. it's like the presence of a nightlight; a small glow in the darkness that calms you and allows you to rest. Laura B.

What a fun, engaging album. A very dynamic mix of airy, dreamy indie pop and pounding, energetic indie rock. You’d think these two styles would clash, but they meld perfectly in these ten songs. With such a broad scope of pop and rock styles on display here, there’s a little something for everyone to enjoy. Kirk Gauthier
