about

The Morning Bird release "Rust Belt Christmas", a song that offers a glimpse into Christmas in Cleveland. The falling snow, the infamous leg lamp, and the weather that seems to change in a blink of an eye.

It offers an anthem of hope in the chorus of "raise a glass and just toast to the past, look forward to what's coming due. trim the tree and take care of the least, Merry Rust Belt Christmas to you!"

lyrics

I genuinely hope you're doing better
Not blaming all of this shit on the weather
Find the knife and sever the tether
The one that's holding you down

The snow is falling I'm on state route 2
Flurries are blinding there ain't a thing I can do
I'm headed your way to see you tonight
We'll reminisce by the leg lamp light

Raise a glass and just toast to the past
Look forward to what's coming due
Trim the tree and take care of the least
Merry Rust Belt Christmas to you

Your mind changes like the weather in Cleveland
First you're here, the next minute you're leaving
I hope you'll stay, because it's Christmas Day
And I want to see you tonight

Raise a glass and just toast to the past
Look forward to what's coming due
Trim the tree and take care of the least
Merry Rust Belt Christmas to you
