Seven Songs for Seven... somethings.

[dira]

I have a new favorite Christmas song for this year, thanks to watching Making the Cut on CBC. They've run this commercial at least twice during every episode for the last few weeks, with a string of people all being kind to each other - Karma in action, that sort of thing. Canadians being nice to each other for Christmas. The song is I Believe in Father Christmas by Emerson, Lake and Palmer. The commerical features the end of the song:

I wish you a hopeful Christmas,
I wish you a brave New Year,
All anguish, pain and sadness,
Leave your heart and let your road be clear.

They said there'd be snow at Christmas,
They said there'd be peace on earth,
Hallelujah! Noel!, be it Heaven or Hell,
The Christmas we get, we deserve.

And, for daveamongus and anybody else I, by some oversight, haven't bombarded with Tragically Hip mp3s yet, three songs from each of their last two CDs:

From In Violet Light (2002):

It's a Good Life if You Don't Weaken
Silver Jet
A Beautiful Thing


From In Between Evolution (2004):

Heaven is a Better Place Today (dedicated to Dan Snyder)
Mean Streak
Goodnight Josephine
