“I’ll just be flying solo, I won’t be lonely/ Don’t need to wake up early, I’ll just get up slowly/ You’ll find me by the fire, movies on my couch all day/ Cross me off your list because this Christmas I’ll be single all the way…” Sad, empowering, or simply content, you’ll come to your own conclusion by the time this verse grabs ya in the midst of all the Holiday Season merriment swirling around you.
The lyrics are taken from the story-heavy pop-punk single, “Single All the Way”, by Toronto duo Goodnight Sunrise. A track vocalist Vanessa Vakharia reminisces about in a quote sent to the GTC, “We wanted to do something unique with it though, and not just make another “Christmas song.” We decided to go full pop-punk, with just a hint of holiday in the sleigh bells as percussion and some light festive-sounding samples. We did go all out for the end of the bridge with a doorbell and the sound of a plane taking off when we reference the classic rom-com Love Actually. Ultimately, we wanted to make something fun and a bit different for this season, and along the way it turned out to be one of our best songs yet – a holiday miracle!”
Holiday miracle indeed, finding your comfort zone, alone during the time of year when it’s nearly impossible, for some, to find solace…Well, folks, here it is! Shelve last year’s memories, pour yourself a stiff one, and stream this crunchy soon-to-be rock n roll Christmas classic, here at the GTC!
