Today, Dan Mangan released an intimate new holiday song called “A Christmas” via Arts & Crafts.
It’s a warm, understated track that beautifully captures the spirit of the season.
A wonderful way to kick off the holidays, this song sets the tone for cozy, reflective winter days.
About that track by Dan:
“Christmas music thrives on nostalgia,” explains Mangan. “As much as I do love a lot of Christmas music, I’ve always felt a bit disconnected from it – like there’s this overzealous desire to telegraph a seasonal elation that isn’t quite realistic. It can feel disingenuous or superficial.
Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we get caught between our desire to feel that mythological glow and the imperfect nature of real life in the present. Sometimes Christmas feels bittersweet, and that’s just part of it.
I’ve often been asked if I’d consider writing ‘a Christmas song’, so I decided to write an honest one.”
