The Last Song For The Last Night Of The Year.


Everything'sGoingToBeAlright
HeKnowsVille


Sure, I remember the original version by the late, great Merle Haggard.

But it was littler e. that brought this tune back to me recently, by way of a Phoebe Bridgers cover.

While the theme of 'If We Make It Through December' might seem to be about Christmas, the holiday really just forms the background of a sharper, more hardened picture.

So, in a weird kind of way the song could be considered something of a musical yang to the cinematic ying that is Diehard.

Or some such thing.

Anyway, here's my lullaby version that might be appropriate for the quiet time after the New Year's Eve 'after, after, after, after, it's getting-so-late-I've-gotta-take-my-kid to-soccer-practice, party Liz Lemon!'...

Nice way to finish the year, with, perhaps. the suggestion that we tend to "hang on" for the completion of cycles within cycles, which. I guess, is all right as long as we don't forget to be active in pursuit of the world we wan to inhabit. Best to the whole Ross K. clan and to the people who visit hereabouts.

Best to you and yours, and the pursuit too, Danneau!
