“This might be the best new Christmas tune so far in 2009!“-Indieblips.com
The Heavy Blinkers’ new christmas song, telling the little drummer boy story from Mary and Joseph’s point of view. Who the hell wants a kid beating a drum in front of their new-born?
(rough mix) from the heavy blinkers’ forthcoming album: HEALTH.
Lyrics and Personnel below.
Silence Your Drum (Jason Michael Macisaac)
This sweet new-born will be deaf by the morn
Silence your drum tonight
Bring the boy with the lute
Bring the girl with the flute
But please no pa rum pa pum tonight
The ox and the sheep are no longer asleep
Silence your drum tonight
If you truly do care
Youll turn off your snare
Please no pa rum pa pum tonight
We appreciate the distance youve come
It mustve been hard to walk with a drum
But weve just put the Son of God to bed
Could you not have brought a harp instead?
Its silence he needs
He has a people to lead
Dont play that drum tonight
A drum tuned that high
Will just make him cry
Please no pa rum pa pum tonight
We appreciate the distance youve come
It mustve been hard to walk with a drum
But weve just put the Son of God to bed
Could you not have brought a harp instead?
