about
What can I say about this track?
It was just a lot of fun - Nat and I jammed this in his studio on my last Recording Day there.
His distinct style of guitar-playing really gives this EP the lift it needed... and I decided to put a twist on the last part of the verse and turn it into a sort of coda-chorus. :)

LYRICS:
O tidings, O tidings....
God rest ye merry gentlemenLet nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on christmas day
To save us all from satan’s power
When we were gone astray
Oh tidings..
From God our heavenly father
The blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How that in bethlehem was born
The son of God by name
Oh tidings, O tidings...
Comfort and Joy
the angels sing of Jesus Christ the light
Comfort and joy
the angels sing of Jesus Christ the light
O tidings, o tidings, comfort & joy
Fear not said the angel
Let nothing you affright
This day is born a savior
Of the pure virgin bright
To free all those who trust in him
From satan’s power and might
Oh tidings...
And when they came to bethlehem
Where our dear Savior lay
They found him in the manger
Where oxen feed on hay
His mother mary kneeled down
And to the lord did pray
Oh tidings, O tidings...
Comfort and Joy
the angels sing of Jesus Christ the light
Comfort and joy
the angels sing of Jesus Christ the light
O tidings, o tidings,
comfort & joy
comfort & joy,
comfort & joy
God rest ye merry gentlemen
let nothing you dismay.
O tidings, O tidings....
God rest ye merry gentlemenLet nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on christmas day
To save us all from satan’s power
When we were gone astray
Oh tidings..
From God our heavenly father
The blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How that in bethlehem was born
The son of God by name
Oh tidings, O tidings...
Comfort and Joy
the angels sing of Jesus Christ the light
Comfort and joy
the angels sing of Jesus Christ the light
O tidings, o tidings, comfort & joy
Fear not said the angel
Let nothing you affright
This day is born a savior
Of the pure virgin bright
To free all those who trust in him
From satan’s power and might
Oh tidings...
And when they came to bethlehem
Where our dear Savior lay
They found him in the manger
Where oxen feed on hay
His mother mary kneeled down
And to the lord did pray
Oh tidings, O tidings...
Comfort and Joy
the angels sing of Jesus Christ the light
Comfort and joy
the angels sing of Jesus Christ the light
O tidings, o tidings,
comfort & joy
comfort & joy,
comfort & joy
God rest ye merry gentlemen
let nothing you dismay.
