Windrift Records is getting ready for the holidays with a bright mood. Captain Iron and the Windrift Band have collaborated on two new Christmas songs, "Our Christmas" and "Eggnog and Whiskey". They make the atmosphere feel more than just a holiday with their music by inviting people to sit down, have a drink, and stay for a while.
"Eggnog and Whiskey" isn't afraid to embrace the sweeter parts of adult contemporary holiday music, but it shows the private moments that unfold after the gifts have been opened and the lights have been dimmed. The song is calming and straightforward, and it talks about the things that make Christmas Eve special, like the warmth of the fire, the sound of laughter filling the room, and the hint of romance that comes when the world slows down for the night. It is welcoming without being boring, and it is festive without being too much.
This release and "Our Christmas" together give a complete picture of the season, taking into account family traditions and the magic that happens when the kids are asleep. Captain Iron and the Windrift Band's music is honest, friendly, and familiar, like a favorite ornament that you take out of storage every year.
The most important thing about "Eggnog and Whiskey" is that it's real. It doesn't use gimmicks or new ideas. Instead, it focuses on the simple pleasures that many people connect with the holidays. The result is a song that sounds like it was written just for December nights, whether you're with friends or alone.
