You've never heard a holiday song quite like this! In parts jolly, in parts dark and mysterious, this track evokes winter woods and Eastern European sounds. Check out the chilling background vocals in the second chorus on and make sure to hang in there for the inspired flamenco style lead acoustic solo work at the end of the track.
lyrics
We went through the east of town,
The snow was falling down,
We all showed up, snowsuits and toques,
Scarves wrapped all around.
Sister Crystal made a plan,
So we brought the whole clan,
Scarves, mitts and old wool blankets,
A sleigh ride with the fam
We rode with white horses in the woods,
We came together just like we should,
That year the season felt so good,
‘Cause we rode with white horses in the woods.
We sleighed through some forest trails,
Heard the birds and the sound of the rails,
The birches and all the snowdrifts,
Just piling up on the hills,
Felicitations, celebrations,
Joy, mirth, jubilation,
Scarves, mitts, and old wool blankets,
A sleigh ride with the fam.
We rode with white horses in the woods,
We came together just like we should.
That year the season felt so good,
‘Cause we rode with white horses in the woods.
