Story behind the song
At Christmas time 1990 my then fiance, Michelle, and I were listening to the final test tape which was to become "August End" with my best friend, Scott Sutton (Sut) and his wife. This song still had no title. All of a sudden, Sutton, who is Mr. Jokester/rugby dude, let a surprising, sincere, almost sensitive side of him come out and said, "You know, this song really makes me think of how it must have felt to be there on the very first Christmas Eve." Since then this song and its feeling of hope and reverence has meant a lot more to me.
