about

A song about desolate winters in the high desert. It was recorded using Venec's toy guitar and the $99 Casio keyboard with song-bank that I made my parents by me for Christmas several years earlier. The song itself is about a rather miserable situation/season and trying to make the most of it.
Lyrics below.

This song originally appeared on a cassette compilation of other songs relating to the holiday. I think that most of the other songs included on the compilation may have been more pro-christmas than this one.

lyrics

Trying to Quit Xmas
In all warm and fuzzy, outside cold desert wind
and drunk you've knocked down some people here and there.
Why settle for the fall when it calls up on the phone?
Just take away your house.

My belief in loss is tried and true

I might here have a bottle, or some money to pitch in.
Tradition is nice but for fitting in.
My skin dry and cracking, my thoughts are of endings,
Now I'm trying to protest and I'm trying to quit christmas.
