In a time of the year that often slips away through the frantic whirl of the tinsel and the to-do list, Suzanne’s Band offers a subtle reminder of what matters most of all, “Come Down For Christmas,” a new single release.
The songs present an invitation aching with tenderness, a melodic tribute to the fire, love, and unity that characterizes the best spirit of the season. From the opening notes, Suzanne’s voice glows with genuine experience and affection, the kind of emotion only this time of year can evoke.
“Come Down For Christmas” is a sound, authentic, rich, and bursting with emotion. As instrumentation unfolds gently to present itself like the stunningly lit night, there is an age about this effort, an intimacy that makes it seem like it has invariably been among your much-loved seasonal tunes, some of which you have forgotten. “Come Down For Christmas” captures the grief and happiness that infuse the long weeks ahead and the new years beyond, the beautiful loneliness, and the hopeful anticipation of reuniting to rejoice. It isn’t about the splash of the lights or the show of action, it’s about slowing down, coming back, and remembering how to impart happiness to people around us.
Suzanne’s Band understands how to make a holiday jewel sound both inventive and genuine, a glimpse, in music, that stops you, bids you to reflect, and evokes a sense of feeling. “Come Down For Christmas” is played on the radio while the lights are being trimmed or while driving through the valley during a snowstorm. Or sitting silently in front of the open fire, their hit is a proper fit for the season’s soundtrack.
