about

“Elle and I had been talking about working on a couple of tunes and doing a version of one of the Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers Christmas songs. But as we were working on it, we decided it would be fun to write our own. Jospeh said we should write a Christmas to forget in reference to how hard this year has been for everyone, so we ran with the idea.”

Announcing the latest installment of The Marigold Singles with an original Christmas song “Xmas to Forget” featuring Elle King.

Proceeds generated by the sale of this digital single will benefit The Marigold Project, Rateliff’s foundation supporting community and nonprofit organizations working for economic and social justice. The Marigold Project is proud to support Food Research & Action Center who is the leading national nonprofit organization working to eradicate poverty-related hunger and undernutrition in the United States with this release.

“No one should be hungry in America. We have more than enough food to ensure our neighbors are fed. I am so glad to lend our support to FRAC in what has been an especially difficult year for so many.”

lyrics

LYRICS:
I’m flying into Christmas and it’s been a awful year
I’m flying into Christmas cause no one else is here
So I hope this is a Christmas I can’t remember

I’m stumbling into Christmas I can barley stand
There’s nothing on my wish list, Except I want this year to end
So lets make this a Christmas to forget

It’s gonna take time, speed, liquor and wine to get there
And this God damn year doesn’t seem fair
Well the only thing I’m wrapping up is my regrets
So let’s make this a Christmas to forget

I’m moving onto eggnog cause I’m running out of beer
I’m sparking up the Yule log wishing that Willie was here
I’m looking at all the things I have and nothing feels good
And nothing seems scrounge enough to make this year disappear

So I hope this is a Christmas I can’t remember

It’s gonna take time, speed, liquor and wine to get there
And this God damn year doesn’t seem fair
Well the only thing I’m wrapping up is my regrets
So let’s make this a Christmas to forget
Talkin bout Christmas
