This was just for fun, don't try and be to nit picky with this project. I wanted it to be a little raw, thus why the piano tracks aren't perfect but are just 1 take going through it.

I'll Be Home For Christmas
This was the first to be recorded, I've always loved this song, but never really hear any modern versions of it, so I wanted to put a new twist on it. Here's some background on the song if you'd like a good read while listening to it :)

I'm dreaming tonight
Of a place I love
Even more then I usually do
And although I know
It's a long road back
I promise you

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

Written by: Kim Gannon, Walter Kent and Buck Ram

Tom Wehrle: Ebow, Keyboards, Drum Programming (basically anything and everything you hear)

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
This is really basic, like I mentioned about, just wanted to give it that feeling of me sitting down at the piano and playing it. This song is from Meet Me in St Louis, which as you know is where I live and a great old classic film as well.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on, our troubles will be miles away

Here we are, as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us
Once more

Through the years, we all will be together
If the fate allow
Hang a shining star above the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Tom Wehrle: Piano & Vocal

All Is Well
I doubt many people have heard this song. It was on a CD called Christmas by Michael W Smith, and it featured a boys choir, it's so much better then my version, but hey, I don't have access to a boys choir or orchestra...but this is the Tom Wehrle version anyways right?! haha...enjoy, I stole the drums from this off a previous TW song.

All is well all is well
Angels and men rejoice
For tonight darkness fell
Into the dawn of love's light
Sing A-le
Sing Alleluia

All is well all is well
Let there be peace on earth
Christ is come go and tell
That He is in the manger
Sing A-le
Sing Alleluia

All is well all is well
Lift up your voice and sing
Born is now Emmanuel
Born is our Lord and Savior
Sing Alleluia
Sing Alleluia
All is well

Music: Michael W Smith
Lyrics: Wayne Kirkpatrick

Silent Night
What can I say, I like Coldplay, so be sure to listen to the whole thing, and I'll give a cookie to the person who can name what Tom Wehrle song the drums were stolen from, haha...enjoy :)

Silent night Holy night
All is calm all is bright
'Round yon virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heav'nly hosts sing Alleluia
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth

Jesus, Lord, came on a silent night
For you and I
Christ our Savior was born on a silent night
For you
For you and I
He came and died
He came and died
For you and I
