lyrics
Supposed to feel full of cheer
Out in the world I hear the songs
Same ones we play every year
If I’m true to my own heart
The only one I ever really loved
The Drummer Boy, the gift he gave
The only one a baby might have liked
What, I ask, does cheer mean?
When all around, there’s just activity
What do those who sit alone have left to feel but more alone?
The darkest time of the year
In the old New England corner of the world
We’re driving home, I take it slow
I look around, all the strangers in their homes
You know my favorite part
The bright electric yards
Wired full of light, piercing through the night
They give a little sparkle in the dark
Time has passed, and I
Find myself humming right along
‘Cause everybody wants to be warm and fed
Everyone deserves to feel comfort in their bed

about
Little Silver New Haven, Connecticut
“The elegantly understated debut from this Brooklyn band does what great, grown-up indie rock at its best has always done:
It maps out states of personal, emotional and historical in-betweenness with careful, intelligent grace… Songs […] take their time building from muted beauty to closely held grandeur.”
—ROLLING STONE
