Miles Maxwell is super pumped to announce the immediate availability of our new Christmas themed single, “Santa is Real.” It’s an older song, written with band friend Gary Zimmer back in 2013, that is finally getting a proper studio treatment.
We recorded all morning at our home studio on Dec 21st 2018 and mixed it over the weekend to make the track available before the holiday.
Chords and Lyrics (link)
D
Every year, I hear the rumors swirl around
Bm
He can’t be real, he’s just a story fed to children of the town
D
They say he couldn’t fly his sleigh around the world
Bm
he would be noticed flying in the air by all the little boys and little girls
Em F#m G
you seventh graders think you’ve got it right
Em F#m G
how can he visit every kid in just one night
Em F#m G
you say it doesn’t matter if you’re naughty or your nice
A
how does he have time to check the list not once but TWICE?
D
Why come he can only enter from the roof
Bm
& with the yule log burning down below he’d need to be fireproof
D
And the old man must be thousands of years old
Bm
it seems unlikely to believe that he’s eternal as we’re being told
Em F#m G
But for those who think it’s so
you think that Santa’s all a show
I’ll tell you something you don’t know
A
Before his Santa beard could grow
D
Santa was trained in evasive maneuvering
by shaolin monks in the early 4th century
Bm
That’s why you never see him
In the sky or in your house
G A
He walks around everywhere as quiet as a mouse
D
And Santa’s sleigh can hold 500 million toys
It goes a 10,000 feet per second but needs cookies for fuel
Bm
That’s why he always wants them
Feeding reindeer and the sleigh
G A
he doesn’t need the milk but he makes you leave it anyway
Verse II
To those who think it, I’ll admit I was like you
I couldn’t see how all the stories and the legends could be true
but now the facts are clear, i finally see the light
His secret powers were revealed to me one cold and snowy night
For those who still don’t think it’s so
you think that santa’s all a show
I’ll tell you something you don’t know
before his reindeer’s nose could glow
Santa was sold a secret bio-tech company
by soviet scientists with shrinking abilities
That’s how he makes it down
through the chimneys once a year
Though he’s only inches tall, he’s full of christmas cheer
And Santa has access to cloning technology
Beyond what is available to you and to me
That’s why he lives forever,
and will always own the sky
His new clone just takes over when the old one starts to die
