Americana-Christmas Pt. II, diesmal nicht aus Norwegen oder Kanada, sondern aus den Südstaaten:
Cameron DuBois & Bama Sound – „Merry Christmas, Wherever You Are“ (2020)
Country-Rock-Singer-Songwriter Cameron DuBois aus Montgomery, Alabama, mit einem bitteren Weihnachtsgruß an den Ex-Ehemann. Ihr Gesang hat viel Soul, und so passt der Track in eine Playlist mit Kelly Finnigan aus dem vorigen Beitrag.
Während dieser Song in jedem Jahr hätte entstehen können, haben Creature Comfort aus Nashville, Tennessee, einen Weihnachtssong speziell für das Jahr 2020 geschrieben – stilistisch passt der Track zu dem von Cameron DuBois, inhaltlich bietet er das Gegenteil (Weihnachten zu zweit):
Creature Comfort – „Christmas in Quarantine“ (2020)
Lyrics:
„Feels like Christmas time is here
Like we haven’t had Christmas in years
Things are crazy, things are strange
And all the plans get rearranged
No more parties, no surprise
No leftover pumpkin pie
I sent the cards out weeks ago
I heard the mail was running slow
Cause it’s Christmas in Quarantine
Silent night with a new meaning
‘Aint a single present around the tree
The news is looking pretty bad
I miss the laughter of my dad
The weatherman says that it ain’t gonna snow
But I’ve got you
Under the mistletoe
Pulled the sweater out again
It fits much tighter than I remember
And all these glasses that you see
Is too much eggnog just for me
Santa comes when I’m asleep
Six feet from me he shall keep
Rudolph with your nose so bright
Is covered with a mask tonight
Cause it’s Christmas in Quarantine
Silent night with a new meaning
‘Aint a single present around the tree
The news is looking pretty bad
I miss the laughter of my dad
The forecast says that it ain’t gonna snow
But I’ve got you
Under the mistletoe“
(Creature Comfort)
