I love this song because the choruses are not predictable. I love it because, the vocals radiate with wonder, yearning, and sadness.. I love it because it sounds like a miracle of a first takeIt is a classic that bears repeated listening

about
My latest solo album, Letters to Aliens, was strongly influenced by the extraterrestrial. This new holiday single, “I Believe (Trip with Santa)” continues that theme, by taking the listener on a rock and roll space voyage with Mr. Claus.
Track will remain Bandcamp Exclusive until 11/18.
lyrics
One Christmas Eve, when I was little
Had my eyes wide open, head on my pillow
Figure skating through the possibilities
of talking dolls and monkeys with tambourines
I fought sleep
in the distance, thought i heard bells jingle
Couldn’t believe my eyes, as I tiptoed to the window
A flying saucer guided by a big red gleam,
hovering over suburban street trees
Wondered if it was a dream
Space captain, can you send me down a beam?
‘Cause all I want for Christmas is to see
these earthly troubles from a million miles away
All I want for Christmas is a trip through the galaxy
Like a tidal wave, with the light of seven suns
I snuck outside and there he was
In a red suit, beard as bright white as stars glow
With a smile that I’d always known
To greet me
Standing in the open neon doors
of a shiny green spaceship, he welcomed me aboard
Every Christmas since, I’ve waited on those neon lights
to take me on another joy ride
I believe
Santa, can you send me down a beam?
‘Cause all I want for Christmas is to see
these earthly troubles from a million miles away
All I want for Christmas is a trip through the galaxy
(All I want for christmas is a trip with santa, All I want for Christmas is a trip with santa, through the galaxy…i want to float through the stars again christmas eve)
Little green elves in silver suits
brought translucent platters of unusual foods
We danced and sang and watched
As the earth turned into a tiny little dot
faded out of view
Took toys to the kids on mars
Stopped at Jupiter’s ice cream bar
We decorated Saturn’s rings with mistletoe and evergreens
did i mention the cyborg reindeer with laser eyes?
and rudolph with his nose so bright
…what a night!
Santa, can you send me down a beam?
‘Cause all I want for Christmas is to see
these earthly troubles from a million miles away
All I want for Christmas is a trip through the galaxy
(All I want for christmas is a trip with santa, All I want for Christmas is a trip with santa, through the galaxy…i want to float through the stars again this christmas eve)
