It’s strange and amazing to reflect upon how long we’ve been making music together here in this community. It is also strange (and perhaps less amazing) to keep growing older.

Special thanks to airtone for the beautiful stems. I added some cello and a synth melody after cutting and rearranging airtone’s brilliance into the “song” I heard in my head. I added Speck in spots for that special extra bell resonance.

Happy New Year everyone! We’re here to start another one — together.

Peace.

Happy New Year Darling
by Madam Snowflake

We were younger then
Our girls were only children
On New’s Year Eve
Neighborhood parties
Costumes, DJs, all-night dancing

We were younger then
Now we’re asleep just after ten
This New Year’s Eve
Content to be just you and me
Happy New Year Darling

Our Holidays weren’t sober
We’d wake up high yet not hungover
Our eyes filled w stars
Bore fewer scars
Yet torn apart, with aching hearts

Now that we’re much older
Bruised, stronger, so much closer
This New Year’s Eve
Peaceful to be just you and me
Happy New Year Darling

Happy New Year Year Darling
This New Year’s Eve
New Year’s Eve

Another earth-sun revolution
Marked by our hopeful resolutions
Naively bent on evolution
Is love the one solution?
The one solution
To mend all that is broken

We were younger then
Tonight we’ll be asleep by ten

Happy New Year Year Darling
This New Year’s Eve
