about

"'Holy the Night’ is about regretting not making the most of being with loved ones like we could last Christmas."

lyrics

last night I stood by the choir on the green
a rapturous chorus of angels would sing
with mulled wine in hand and lights in the trees
on a cold christmas eve-

some c-lister brought a crowd to the town hall
shook hands with a panto dame, lit up the sprawl
it's funny such things can bring joy to us all
but me without you tonight-

but me without you on a cold christmas eve
to warm in the glow of the fire-
oh, holy the night that I could call you mine
last year on a cold christmas eve

fairisle and tinsel were lining the windows
for last-minute lovers to spend all they've got
you'd wander the streets as the world shut up shop
and curse at the crisp winter breeze-

but me without you on a cold christmas eve
to warm in the glow of the fire-
oh, holy the nights that I could call you mine
last year on a cold christmas eve

took a cigarette break on the twenty-fourth day
retraced all our steps through the wrought iron gates
through holly and ivy beside the canal
to the bright icy lights you hang outside your house
and I wonder what I have to show
for walking a christmas ago-

for walking away on a cold christmas day,
for leaving the glow of your fire-
how lonely the nights now I can't call you mine
this year, on a cold christmas day

I'll be thinking of you on this cold christmas eve-
we'd warm in the glow of your fire-
Oh, holy the night that I could call you mine
last year, on a cold christmas eve

The forthcoming releases reflect on 2020 through the eyes of a furloughed student. ilonalowe is a fly on the wall, telling tales of moments of joy sandwiched between daily disasters; homesickness, hopefulness, grief, love, angst and affection. ... more
