Hi my loves,
I honestly can't believe you guys even remember any of the home-recorded songs I've put up on this myspace page over the past couple of years, but wonders never cease.
And you all are amazing people….
Due to the kind behest of a dashing friend here on myspace (where is this medieval lingo coming from? Has Disney brainwashed us all?) I've re-recorded, in my Sheri home studio, an old dark Christmas favorite, "Merry Christmas, Jesus, It's Been One Helluva Year."
I sang this song through one live mic, played an acoustic guitar, and here it is…in its raw, natural form. Real.
If you can imagine a dark scene…Charles Bukowski's friend, sitting in a darkly lit, hell-hole of a divebar on Christmas eve, drinking a glass of Budweiser under strings of red and green lights. A darker twist on Chrismas, if you will.
I always wondered if the factories shut down on Christmas. Money is God to some people.
But I hope you enjoy this song. And Merry Christmas to you all.
With love always, Xoxoxo Sheri

Merry Christmas, Jesus, It's Been One Hell Of A Year (S. Miller)
Merry Christmas is what they tell me Ye All a good year But all the company that keeps me Is this here warm beer
Under the lights, red and green Flashing in this bar room scene Merry Christmas, patron saints Jesus, it's been one hell of a year
Merry Christmas, feel the spirit Spend your every last quarter and dime After slaving hours in factories Blinded into the night
Under the harsh white lights Where workers are crucified So their families survive Merry Christmas, to the people Jesus, it's been one hell of a year
Come all ye faithful, it don't mean a thing I reach out my cup, but they keep on walking There's no relief from all this suffering
Solo
Merry Christmas is what they sell me Ye all a good year But I'm searching in this lonely city For an honest face of cheer
Under the northern sky Where every star can shine A chance to see Orion
Merry Christmas, this holy city Jesus, it's been one hell of a year Merry Christmas, holy city Jesus, it's been one hell of a year
