Christmas. By Darlene Love.

The song Christmas, as sung by Darlene Love, has been heard dozens of times by faithful watchers of the Letterman show. She performs it for his program every year on the last broadcast prior to December 25th.

The Muse takes us through the song's images and remind us that we long for love. But there is more. The sax riffs. The bells ring. The verbal images blur with the passion in her voice. The piano rattles at a furious pace with the violence of the very longing we feel as regular people in this bizarre world. The tambourine slams. And the Muse says there is more... more to this life...more solution than problem, more longing than could ever be made whole by what we see and feel. And yet we are comforted by this unmet longing. We are reminded and encouraged that we can't see more than ourselves with the Muse showing us that there IS more than ourselves.

So, dream big. Then dream bigger. Then repeat. See what the Muse can show you.

Enjoy.
