Name: More Love than Myth (Tell the Children)
Duration: P00H03M39S
Description: It's that time of year again when I release a new song about consumed by it all. Wrote this one quick and recorded it quick. While the lightning was still stinging. We pictured ourselves in a holiday musical while recording it. Just a family on stage. Maybe the musical is called: "Have yourself an existential Christmas". Enjoy the darkness my friends. Love- Will

about

It's that time of year again when I release a new song about consumed by it all. Wrote this one quick and recorded it quick. While the lightning was still stinging. We pictured ourselves in a holiday musical while recording it. Just a family on stage. Maybe the musical is called: "Have yourself an existential Christmas". Enjoy the darkness my friends.

lyrics

Maybe we should tell the children
Santa is make believe
and it's always been you and me
it's always been you and me
explain that we would never let
a stranger of the night break in
to leave us things while we dream
it's always you and me

Teach them to believe in magic times
Not to wait for magic to arrive

No one’s out there keeps tabs
on if their good or bad
you're a child and you are free
So there’s really no such thing
show them we should measure love
we give not the things we get
that's all just future trash
We want but never need…
That we’ll all
Soon forget
& pile on
Tomorrow’s mess
What a mess…. What a mess…

the truth has more love
more love than myth
teach them to believe in magic times
not to wait for magic to arrive

Years from now when we’re sitting
Here with an empty xmas tree
And time played its dirty tricks
And it’s only you and me

We’ll crave this mess, this stressful test
for that magic in their eyes
Well, maybe one more year
Wouldn’t hurt a thing
Hmmmm hmmmmm
Hmmmmmm
Just for you and me
