| + | Yeah, actually, I'm working on a song to sing before dinner. Sort of like a prayer, but not a prayer. I'm struggling to find a melody that is very singable at the dinner table where you probably won't have a guitar. That was something I was shooting for with this song. Glad it reminds you of a xmas carol. I think that means it's "singable". | ||

Songwriter Notes
this song was written after a conversation with Jenny at Lizzy and Chris's wedding. Jenny said that she and MK sometimes sing after dinner.
Comments
I don't know which I love more: 1. that Jenny and MK sing after dinner, 2. that you guys wrote this for them to sing or 3. that they'll probably actually sing it together. Outstanding. Songs for real-life situations are really marvelous, and I think we need more of them. OK Go actually dabbled in that field kind of as a joke: http://www.truthinmusic.net/
Also, and this can only be a good thing, this song reminds me of "Away In A Manger".
