This MP3 is classic Aimee Mann and an interesting Christmas love song. It's mellow, sad and prayerful; it ends with a slightly hopeful plea for redemption. Although nothing spectacular, the song has a nice chord progression and a good rhythmic feel. I'll probably be able to remember the hook an hour from now. This is a song that merits listening to with your full attention. Regarding vocal technique, one thing that has always made Aimee Mann special and contributed to her success, such as it is, is her unique, personal vocal quality (whether or not you like her singing); something without which a singer sounds just like one of the countless cookie-cutter breathy young girls so popular right now whose lack of vocal technique is mistaken for sincerity.
