about

Good Lord, it’s December already in what’s left of Britain and someone mentioned it being a Digital Christmas this time. Whatever! Cling to the good stuff for a while, take what relief you can where you can find it - there’s nothing wrong with going easy on yourself!

We’ve Made It Till Christmas is Silverlode’s take on a seasonal original. It’s a modern song; it is not Slade’s excess fun of 70s carefree Christmas Past, more a simple message of hope when hope requires galvanising more than ever. Still absolutely bangs though....

lyrics

So, it looks like we made it
Through this awful year
There’s plenty who didn’t
But am glad to still be here

All the toys that are broken
Those sad little soldiers
The gluing together —
Of bonds that are severed

There’s nothing wrong with going easy on yourself
There’s nothing wrong with toasting everyone’s good health
There’s always something else for the Old Gods to teach us
This is as good as any time to start…!

May they guide all those lost and lonely spirits home….
For the coming together in the season of hope

I remember magical lights
Shining bright in to the night
Tiny gems of wonder
To ward of the winter

Bells ring through the city
Can you hear them ringing?
Something is coming
Can you hear them singing?

There’s nothing wrong with going easy on yourself
There’s nothing wrong with toasting everyone’s good health
There’s always something else for the Old Gods to teach us
This is as good as any time to start…!
May they guide all those lost and lonely spirits home….
For the coming together in the season of hope
