ask me to write a song

I’ve written a lot of songs for people in my life. I’ve written some songs for people that aren’t in my life, and some songs for people I’ll never meet but have impacted my life in a big way anyway. I’ve written songs for friends, lovers, exes, family, idols, teachers. But as far as I can remember, nobody has ever asked me to write a song for them. This Christmas, somebody asked me to write them a song. I gave myself half an hour and sat down and wrote a song. This is the song for somebody.

When the circus comes to town

Or when Christmas rolls around

Like when gourmet cheese is on the high price shelf

Like when beds are freshly made

Or the day when you get paid

Or you finally for the first time watch the Christmas movie ‘Elf’

Hosting Quizcats nights you miss

Writing stupid songs like this

Or a tender kiss beneath the mistletoe

Like unpacking food from bags

Getting dressed in finest rags

These are all the things that make me feel aglow
