The snow is falling on a silent night And the world has turned unmistakably white The rum sours the party and the sirens moan This motel is no place to call my home Oh it’s Christmas time, yes it’s Christmas time, oh it’s Christmas time alone There’s a dog in the alley, she’ll share my beer Ain’t no friends in strange places in a world full of fear Now my shoes soaked through and the cold feels like pain This snow-cone of a city, it melts in the rain Oh it’s Christmas time, yes it’s Christmas time, oh it’s Christmas time alone I miss Christmas time, I miss Christmas time, I miss Christmas time at home Sure there’s food on the table but it tastes like dirt And the presence of presents makes me feel like a jerk With nobody to hold and no love to share It’s a bad scene for me this time of the year Oh it’s Christmas time, yes it’s Christmas time, oh it’s Christmas time alone I miss Christmas time, I miss Christmas time, I miss Christmas time at home So I’ll send you this letter, it should reach you next year It’s not meant to upset you, but to make it quite clear That I’ve missed you forever and I’ll meet you some day If you kiss me next winter, I won’t have to say Oh it’s Christmas time, yes it’s Christmas time, oh it’s Christmas time alone I miss Christmas time, I miss Christmas time, I miss Christmas time at home

I don’t know who you celebrate, coca cola or Jesus Christ But it’s wintertime and the roads are ice, I’d feel better if you’d stay the night I hear you’re living far from home all alone it’s making me cry So sit back down and settle in let me sing you a lullaby So see your favourite friends, make snow angels in the alley way Take a deep cold breath, it may help to chase the night away Winter makes me tired, but there’s still love in my heart Hold me closer, we’re halfway through the dark. The lights warm glow, the mistletoe, the world outside is white I know it’s late, but I had to call. Just to tell you I think you were right I only wish that you were here, your warm touch and soft sweet kiss I have more toys than I’ll ever need, but it’s you alone I miss. So see your favourite friends, make snow angels in the alley way Take a deep cold breath, it may help to chase the night away Winter makes me tired, but there’s still love in my heart Hold me closer, we’re halfway through the dark. If I had the chance to try again, I’d trade it all for you. A lonely boy with Christmas toys is surely just a fool. So see your favourite friends, make snow angels in the alley way Take a deep cold breath, it may help to chase the night away Winter makes me tired, but there’s still love in my heart Hold me closer, we’re halfway through the dark.

Silent Night 03:47
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 Hallelujah Christ the Savior is born Christ the Savior is born Silent Night, lonely night We miss you dearly, but we’re doing alright Wait for me on the other side Put in a good word when I arrive Sleep in heavenly peace Sleep in heavenly peace

Come rest your weary head We've finally got the children sleeping And all those words we said Don’t seem so awkward or revealing You can lay here on my chest I won’t let them come to harm you The world may be a mess But we’re snowed inside, we’re snowed inside

about

Embark on a musical odyssey with Rob Fillo's inaugural Christmas music release, 'Halfway Through The Dark.' This album is not just a collection of songs; it's a sonic journey that marks a monumental milestone in Fillo's budding artistic career. 'Christmas Time Alone' kicks off the record with a rhythmic escapade, seamlessly blending upbeat tones with poignant lyrics. The title track, 'Halfway Through the Dark,' showcases Fillo's orchestral arranging debut with an intensifying epic composition. Rob’s unique rendition of the classic 'Silent Night' reveals a delicate and somber side. And finally, the album's crowning jewel, 'Snowed Inside,' features an enchanting violin arrangement by former international violinist and now elementary school music teacher Jody Onuma. This intimate and unique song ends the record with a dreamlike beauty that is truly exceptional. The entire record was meticulously self-produced by Fillo himself, creating an organic and warm atmosphere with a vintage analogue feel that invites listeners to a fresh take on the magic and reflection that resides in the depths of winter. 'Halfway Through The Dark' is not just an album; it's a testament to artistic brilliance, real instruments, organic performances and raw emotions, making it an essential and original addition to any Christmas music collection.
