‘YE who now will bless the poor….’

Aurosa provides us the byplay of two who woo ‘you’ (ie. each other) in the corny country crooner “You ‘ll Always be My Light“.

Coming in steamy Steve Cole, Red Deer, Alberta sing how much “I Want Your Kisses” under the mistletoe. Honky tonk elevator music.

Proferring a little soul, a little sass, Nathasha Watts pitches woo with “You & Me This Christmas“. It’s going to get loud.

Preferring old school big band, Chris Weeks maintains grace in “You and Me“, a song that rises and falls then goes full showtune.

Scott Fulton’s “You and Me and the Christmas Tree” circles the wagons over just us–no family. Cowboy country. Asleep at the Wheel‘s version sure seems like the same song, but forensic analysis doesn’t pan this swing tune out. Then Ali Morgan does it, and it’s all power pop puffery. So different. And don’t get me started on Love It or Leave It‘s take. Electro-pop?

Relying on reverb, Matthew McLaughlin reaches for spiritual in “You are Invited“. He’s opening the door to you. Are you needy? Or just passing by? Doesn’t matter. He’s popping gospel here. About hate. (what–?)
