Silver Bells

from Christmas by Tangled Blue

/

about

Recorded in our living room on a crisp night in the fall of 2011. This tune (written by J. Livingston and Ray Evans) was originally written as "Tinkle Bells" until the author's wives informed them that "tinkle" has very different meaning to their children. The above photo, by Micah Taylor, is from the live recording session. More photos are at micahtaylor.com

lyrics

City sidewalks busy sidewalks 
Dressed in Holiday style 
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas 
Children laughing people passing 
Meeting smile after smile 
And on every street corner you hear 
 
Silver bells (silver bells), silver bells 
It's Christmas time in the city 
Ring-a-ling hear them ring 
Soon it will be Christmas day 
 
Strings of street lights even stop lights
Blink a bright red and green 
As the shoppers run home with their treasures 
Hear the snow crunch see the kids bunch 
This is Santa's big scene 
And above all the bustle you hear

Silver bells (silver bells), silver bells 
It's Christmas time in the city 
Ring-a-ling hear them ring 
Soon it will be Christmas day

With a new home in Minneapolis, Tangled Blue recorded "Advent" in 2008 and will finish a third project this year. ... more
