We can conclude that nothing has changed. In fact, Christmas ideas such as charity, forgiveness, a clean slate, a new beginning, peace or even hospitality are further away than ever these days. But this year Pondertone are tackling the Christmas depression with a cheerful song. Even though, as usual with Pondertone, nothing is what it seems.
In Christmas as Usual I try to see Christmas through the eyes of a child. Why is there always so much hustle and bustle in December? Why does mommy have a headache? Why does daddy watch Die Hard every year at Christmas? And why is there even more violence on the news?
You can see us play Christmas (and three others) live on December 16, at Paradiso (upper room) Amsterdam. See the agenda for more info.
You can listen to our new song on all streaming platforms, including our bandcamp page and watch the video on our youtube channel.
