Just listened to it. It's not terrible by any means. Not a Rocker

It's definitely a 2023 type of song. It doesn't feel overly Christmas... I have a feeling that this is a song that turned into a Christmas song.

No AI vocals. His voice sounds very raspy on the verses but it's listenable. Considering what his live voice sounds like, I'll definitely take it. Very Story Of Love type vocals.

I need to listen to it a few times. It has a little "Oh Darling" from the Beatles vibe in certain parts.

Glad to see all members play on the track.

Not terrible, but nothing to remember either. Will somewhat drown in the sea of endless, same-y Christmas tracks that are out there

There's a weird kind of echo on some of Jon's words in the verses, like he sang it multiple times and it was put on top of each other to make it sound fuller, but it wasn't perfectly in sync.

And "tomorrow won't be yesterday" is such a Jon-line

It's alright. Nothing special.

Couple of nice bits. Jon sounds alright.

No backing vocals by anyone else?!? Interesting!!....

I had a hunch it would be in 3/4.

Not bad from the sample! Electric guitar being completely Phil is nice. Makes me think it was recorded pretty live off the floor.

Holy cow, another song to add to the something being a different kind of blue pile, we're at 4 now. Can't believe that one is back.

Just listened to it and I gotta say I like it!

I’m really pleasantly surprised by the production. It sounds very warm and not muddled together or overly processed. Feels like a modern take on the early 90s I Wish Everyday Could Be Like Christmas/Please Come Home For Christmas type of production approach. Very much hoping they’ll stick to this production style for the new album as well!

I received these lyrics as being from the new song, but as I haven't had the opportunity to listen yet, I don't know if they are correct, could you who have heard it confirm it?

"Christmas Isn't Christmas"

Fancy paper, pretty ribbons
Wrap each present that is new
And the sounds of this good season fills the night
We'll light a fire, send seasons greetings
We'll sing a song of Yule
There's nothing wrong but this year Christmas isn't right

Oh it's a beautiful day
We'll give thanks and we'll pray
For every blessing and the dreams that came true
Oh it's a beautiful night
But I can't wait for first light
When the sky will shine a different kind of blue

Snow still falling, friends are calling
Bringing laughter and good cheer
Wine is flowing and another year's gone by
Nothing's changed but life keeps changing
Some say hello, some say goodbye
It's the memories that keep me warm tonight

Oh it's a beautiful day
We'll give thanks and we'll pray
For every blessing and the dreams that came true
Oh it's a beautiful night
But I can't wait for first light
That's when the sky will shine a different kind of blue
This year Christmas isn't Christmas without you

How am I supposed to let you go
When you're the only thing I've ever known
You're the reason that I keep holding on
Now who's strong and who's afraid
Tomorrow won't be yesterday
Tomorrow just can't be like yesterday

Fancy paper, pretty ribbons
Promise me you'll come home soon
'Cause Christmas isn't Christmas without you
Oh Christmas isn't Christmas without you
