Tina Miller Brad’s lyrics and intimate songs are exquisite and beautiful. His spare yet rich interpretations of for instance, the Joni Mitchell inspirations or just his own original songs elevate me and the environment I listen to them in. His music is timeless.

"River" It's coming on Christmas Yeah they're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace I wish I had a river I could skate away on And it don't snow here Yeah it stays pretty green Gonna make a lot of money Then I'm gonna quit this crazy scene I wish I had a river I could skate away on I wish I had a river so long Could teach my feet to fly I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby cry She really tried to help me You know she put me at ease She loved me so naughty made me weak in the knees I wish I had a river I could skate away on I'm so hard to handle you know I'm selfish and I'm sad Now I just gone lost the best baby that I ever had I wish I had a river I could skate away on I wish I had a river so long Could teach my feet to fly I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby say goodbye

2000 Miles The Pretenders She's gone two thousand miles It's very far The snow is falling down Gets colder day by day I miss you The children will sing She'll be back at Christmas time In these frozen and silent nights Sometimes in a dream you appear Outside under the purple sky Diamonds in the snow sparkle Our hearts were singing It felt like Christmas time Two thousand miles Is very far through the snow I'll think of you Wherever you go She's gone two thousand miles It's very far The snow is falling down Gets colder day by day I miss you I can hear people singing It must be Christmas time I hear people singing It must be Christmas time

about

I was inspired by the recent 50 year anniversary of the classic Joni Mitchell album "Blue" and specifically her song "River" which I started covering pretty regularly live a couple years ago. Anyway, I always felt like it would make for a great holiday release and I scrambled to get this one out in time for this holiday season. This marks my 2nd holiday song/release along with my cover of The Pretenders 2000 Miles. Enjoy, and happy holidays...
