about
A few years ago we made a goofy Christmas song about how much we love spending the holidays at home in Los Angeles: empty freeways, takeout Sichuan, matinees at the Arclight. In 2020, California is the global epicenter of the pandemic and we’re spending Christmas at home again—only this year we’re alone, and so is everyone we love. We revised our song, “Christmas Alone,” to reflect our mood this year: scared, angry, and exhausted, and above all grateful that we made it through 2020 safely. We’ve been lucky, but so many people in our community have not. The number of people experiencing food insecurity has nearly tripled in Los Angeles since the pandemic began. All proceeds from the sale of “Christmas Alone” will be donated directly to the Los Angeles Food Bank. If you want to make a donation but you don’t care about our music, you can donate to our virtual food drive directly below. We’ve set a goal for $1,000—which may not seem like a whole lot, but it will provide about 4,000 meals to hungry families in Los Angeles this season. Have a safe and happy holiday, wherever you are.
Mom and Dad are vexed we’re spending Christmas far away,
But love is not a test, love is opening to change
We don’t need a Christmas tree and we don’t need a chimney
We just need each other and to stay home watching TV
Remember the days before money ate the mission
Maybe now’s the time to make some new traditions
This year we’re just happy we can celebrate our luck
We made this far and that should be enough
Everybody has to stay at home
This Christmas it’s you and me alone
All we need is love to make a home
So this Christmas it’s you and me alone
Hope is a relation tween the future & the past
Time is so short but dreaming helps it last
Give a little this year to the ones who need it best
lost a lotta living but we’re grateful for what’s left
Gear up for another year you think is gonna break ya
Keep holding up the ones you love and keep each other safer
Doesn’t even matter if it’s Christmas Day today
When we have each other, every day’s a holiday
Everybody has to stay at home
So next Christmas we won’t be on our own
All we need is love to make a home
So this Christmas it’s you and me alone
