about

I was inspired by Sicilian Folk music when I created the backing rhythm where the idea is to emulate the sound of waves rocking against a boat. This particular sound and feel was said to be quite familiar to the parishioners who would have originally heard the song. I added an additional track of ride cymbal which was recorded in my closet. At one point I accidently hit a few empty clothes hangers with my drum sticks creating a nice plastic "crackle" and decided to leave it in for a nice touch.
Also, while I consider Between Creases an instrumental project, I knew I had to add the vocals. It turns out this song was a challenge to sing while trying to figure out a feel for it and work through my nerves.

lyrics

Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child.
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia,
Christ the Savior is born!
Christ the Savior is born

Silent night, holy night!
Son of God love's pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
