Crywolf - 12.25.16 [untitled christmas song] (acoustic version) 

Am I the only one who secretly hates Christmas music? It’s always felt like a bit of a spit in the face of the somber emotional palette this season has in my mind.
A while back a friend of mine heard me talking about it and they challenged me to write my own Christmas song. I gave it a shot and what came out was, in my opinion, one of the most straightforward and candid songs I’ve ever written. It doesn’t involve complex themes or abstract lyricism. It is just an honest exploration of the gut-wrenching feeling you have when you realize you have lost the place that your soul felt at peace.
I recorded this new stripped down version of it with just me and a felt piano for you guys. If you are another person for whom the holiday season is one of reflection on loss, I hope it comforts you and shows you you are not alone 🤍

Lyrics:
Did it get colder this year?
Inside my room I see crystals of ice
Suspended pieces covered in glass
Snowbanks are falling on the sides of my bed
The sides of my bed
But it doesn’t snow here in Los Angeles
Abandoned roads, but they’re warm… I’m just losing it.
Everyone’s gone back to sweet places they call their homes
But I wander aimlessly
Can’t shake this chill from my bones
Cause where could I go to feel home, when my home was you?
Surrounded, but always alone
In this snow I can’t move
I feel that yearning to leave and belong somewhere new
But where could I go? Darling, you took my whole world with you.
