Wonderful song! Spinning on Christmas Song Treasures Soundclick station! Happy 2009!
Great song, Benny! Destined to last! You and the kids have exactly the right homely sound that appeals to "young and old", with catchy hooks. And the lyrics are much more than the usual predictable bunch of cliches about tinsel, etc., because the message about "faith, hope and love" is thoughtful. I'm sure we'll be hearing this every Christmas from now on!
I enjoyed your song its filled with joy! Keep up the great work in music!
Sweet voice! Nice song. Well done.
