Jim Adams is the host of Song Lyric Sunday. I changed the format, with Jim’s link at the top, because of the bonus song and Christmas wishes at the end. Next week it will be back to the usual format.
Jim has granted Clive’s ask for Christmas music.
I was scanning Christmas songs at lyrics.com and came across this one. Never heard it before but I know that the Wilson sisters know how to sing and could do a Christmas song right. The album has been released 3 times, in 1998, 2001, and in 2004 with two bonus tracks.
“Heart Presents a Lovemongers’ Christmas” is a Christmas album and the twelfth studio album by American rock band Heart. It was originally released under the title, “Here Is Christmas” on October 20, 1998. The Lovemongers was a side project involving Ann and Nancy Wilson, their longtime friend and collaborator, Sue Ennis, Frank Cox, and drummer, Ben Smith, per wikipedia.
Apple Music has a little more info on The Lovemongers, but not much.
The night was black and velvet, the stars were all around
A stranger landed lightly on the frosty ground
His eyes were wide with wonder filled with stars and space
He’d searched the heavens over till he found this place
A sweet and snowy carol echoed in his ears
A song so faint and distant, so strong it drew him here
Here is Christmas come inside
Here is Christmas far and wide
A thousand candles burning bright
Here is Christmas shining in our eyes
He wandered through the city lost in the shopping crowds
People rushing, people pushing, he watched without a sound
Cash machines were singing about the biggest year
But above this strange confusion the carol still rang clear
Then he saw a raggedy man with an ancient mandolin
And he knew he’d found the answer when the song began again
Here is Christmas come inside
Here is Christmas far and wide
A thousand candles burning bright
Here is Christmas shining in our eyes
Here is Christmas come inside
Here is Christmas far and wide
A million candles burning bright
Here is Christmas shining in our eyes
Written by: Ann Wilson, Nancy Wilson, Richard Frank Zito

Lovely music Lisa and thanks for making me feel like it is Christmas. You couldn’t be more correct when you said that the Wilson sisters know how to sing. I hope you have a merry Christmas, and that Santa brings you something special.

I agree, Glyn. Am used to hearing a choir with orchestra backup for this one. A capella with rockers is pretty amazing.

“Here Is Christmas” is entirely new to me. I like both Nancy Wilson’s great guitar-playing and Ann Wilson’s always amazing vocals. “Oh Holy Night” is beautiful as well – great harmony singing!
Merry Christmas to you, Lisa, and your family!
