Current music:Peter Mayer's Midwinter

Happy Solstice, Merry Christmas
Happy Solstice, Blessed Yule, and Merry Christmas, y'all!

And to celebrate, here's a song by (natch) Peter Mayer

Where is the Light?
When it’s late December, dark and cold
Where is the light?
When old man year is bending low
Where is the light?
When the sun runs off to bed too soon
Where is the light?
And there’s nothing but a skinny moon
Where is the light?

CHORUS:
Where is the light?
Where is the light?
Where is the light? Oh…
The light’s inside of me

When it’s dark each morning when I rise
Where is the light?
And it’s dark when my eggs are fryin’
Where is the light?
And it’s dark when off to work I go
Where is the light?
And it’s dark again when I get home
Where is the light?

CHORUS:

It’s in my skin and in my bones
In my heart and in my soul
That light of life, so bright and golden
Like a summer day
When the sun goes missing in the sky
It is rising in my eyes
Chasing all that winter gloom away

I’m burning bright like kerosene
Where is the light?
I’m twinkling like the Pleiades
Where is the light?
I’m dancing like a candle flame
Where is the light?
I’m flaming like a fruit flambé
Where is the light?

CHORUS: (2X)

This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!

I'm nearly a week late, but a very Happy Solstice to you too! You chose the perfect song to celebrate the event. I enjoyed reading through the lyrics. [info]bakerybard was kind enough to lend me two Peter Mayer CDs ("Elements" and "Million Year Mind"), but I've only gotten around to listening to one ("Elements"). Now that I'm not preoccupied with Christmas anymore, I should have time to listen to both of them properly. :-)
