Story behind the song
This was lyrically inspired by Speck’s “Christmas Is Not In The Fall” and melodically inspired by unreal_dm’s “Holiday Bash” (double meaning?). Snowflake’s “Give It Away (this holiday)” inspired me to actually finish it. Thank you all. As Scroogey and Grinchy as I may be, I warmly wish everyone the best of the best this holiday season. This community means a whole lot to me. Thank you so much for being part of it and kindly including me. p.s. Here is the remix w/ unreal_dm’s backing track.
Lyrics
WORDS Hustle, bustle grab the gifts Agitated stand in line In and out of every store A mad rush to beat the time The clock keeps ticking The stress keeps building Will you find the gifts you pursue? Extra meaning placed On all these things While shopping gets the best of you We give, we get But what do we feel? We give, we get Humankind’s Achilles’ heel We’re taught as kids to dream of things To put them on a list And if we’re really, really good Santa Claus will bring them to us But what if we’re good but really poor And don’t get any of the things that we asked for But the bully down the street Who’s just as mean as he can be Got everything single possible new thing on TV. We give, we get But what do we feel? We give, we get Humankind’s Achilles’ heel All these things we think we need All these ways to use our time We’re convinced these shiny things Will enhance our quality of life But all these things consume our minds Isolate us from our friends No time to ponder life No time to just unwind We give, we get But what do we feel? We give, we get Humankind’s Achilles’ heel.
