lyrics

Kevin O'Brien is a Kitchener-Waterloo musician and deeply smart music fan, with a vast blanket of taste curated and careful as well as killer tunes in his own pedigree. Here he ignites his Bluevales project with an original tune about wanting just a plain-ass, normal "Middle Kinda Christmas". Featuring samples from My So-Called Life and a power-poppy acoustic backing, O'Brien says "after going through a few years of Christmases where I had experienced loss, or rough times, I started to dread the holidays. Last Christmas, I was listening to a Christmas playlist and every song was either super joyful (Wonderful Christmastime by Paul McCartney) or super depressing (I’ll Be Home For Christmas). Neither spoke to me because, at this point, I’m grateful for when the holidays are just … fine. I talked about it with a few people and they felt the same. So, one night after a couple of drinks with friends, I wrote Middle Kinda Christmas to try to hit that feeling." Consider the feeling hit with a boughs of holly bullseye.
