musical advent calendar, days 11, 12, and 13

Yeah, I've been distracted, we all knew my attention span for this was shaky anyway. This time, Christmas music, since I missed the two-weeks-until mark.

Death Cab For Cutie - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
They're singing "Deck The Halls"
But it's not like Christmas at all
Cause I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year

Pretty lights on the tree
I'm watching them shine
You should be here witha me
Baby please come home

Glee cast - Last Christmas
"Merry Christmas"
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you"
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Sufjan Stevens - Star of Wonder
I call you
From the comet's cradle
I found you
Trembling by yourself
When the night falls
Lightly on your right-wing shoulder
Wonderful know-it-all
Slightly where the night gets colder

Oh, conscience,
Where will you carry me?
I found you
Star of terrifying effigies
When the night falls
I carry myself to the fortress
Of your glorious cost
Oh, I may seek your fortress

When the night falls
We see the star of wonder
Wonderful night falls
We see you

You gotta love Sufjan Stevens, man. I don't care who you are, he's just awesome. I'll fight anyone who says otherwise. Don't test me, I have ninja skills.

Sufjan Stevens is so awesome he defies every metaphor I've tried to think of to express his awesomeness.

Some people are just too dope to make metaphors for.

I <3 Sufjan Stevens, really. And I love that song, it's on my Christmas playlist too. XD

(I always wonder how you pronounce his name... I don't think I've ever heard anyone say it. lol)

I want to say it's pronounced "soof-yan", but don't quote me on that.
