about
No matter how you celebrate the holidays, we think this song will be meaningful to you. Paper Chain Christmas is an upbeat pop song complete with singing, guitar, a choir, brass and string instruments, percussion like timpani, sleigh bells, and tubular bells, and of course a music video with all the trimmings.
The feeling of Christmas love can be so fleeting. We spend a lot of time preparing for that one special day, but we sometimes forget that "feeling of love" on other days of the year. For me, if everyone acted as they do on Christmas Day by being kind, helping others, hugging and kissing, and simply loving each other each every day - life would be that much better for everyone all year long.
lyrics
Cinnamon gum drop trees
Peppermint candy canes
Kids bickering over
who’s gonna run the train
“Let’s make paper chains and
Hang them on the tree
Afterall, there’s no
arguing on Christmas Eve”
After tomorrow
It will be all over
Many tales of
The season will be spoken
If we could hang on all year
To this feeling of love
All the paper chains
Wouldn’t end up broken
There’s a chill in the air
Excitement galore
It’s Christmas Eve the wreath’s
Hanging on the door
“Ding dong,
Hear the bells ring”
At the door, that’s what the
Carolers sing
After tomorrow
It will be all over
Many tales of
The season will be spoken
If we could hang on all year
To this feeling of love
All the paper chains
Wouldn’t end up broken
Adults hang around
Like sprigs of holly
Spiked cake and eggnog
Make the night very jolly
Kids eye their stockings
Imagine their surprise
When they come down Christmas morning
To discover their “being good” prize
After tomorrow
It will be all over
Many tales of
The season will be spoken
If we could hang on all year
To this feeling of love
All the paper chains
Wouldn’t end up broken
A glowing Christmas tree
Twinkling colored lights
Like the diversity
Of all the people on this night
On Christmas Day, I get to give
The perfect gift to you
The kids all tucked in
We steal a mistletoe kiss or two
After tomorrow
It will be all over
Many tales of
The season will be spoken
If we could hang on all year
To this feeling of love
All the paper chains
Wouldn’t end up broken
By the fireplace
We nestle and watch the snow fall
Happy Holidays
Merry Christmas to all
Merry Christmas to all

Σtella's Greek-folk inflected pop sounds both vintage and subtly modern, like a lost gem sent from the magical nexus where 1966 meets 1986. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 16, 2022
