Scott Orr wants you to come home

Honestly, I can't make out the lyrics of this song by Canadian singer-songwriter Scott Orr. It's clear that he misses someone, that things aren't the same since this person went away. 'The choir can't sing without you/And the fires don't burn as bright'. He yearns for different times, different atmosphere. There's a snare drum, brushes, an acoustic guitar (or is it a ukelele?), an electric piano with lots of delay. And that distinct voice, you can feel what you can't understand what Scott sings.
Orr, who comes from a very musical family, plays a lot of instruments and made a lot of albums in various versions, writes about this track: "The holidays aren't quite the same when someone is missing. I wrote a Christmas song for anyone who knows that feeling. The nostalgia, the empty spaces, the people and places you wish you could return to."

I felt it, Scott. I felt it.


Certainly not the first Christmas song Scott Orr released. This indie rock track is nice one too, released only on audio.com. And this abashed version of The Christmas Song.
