It’s about a feeling
A global sense of healing
Our future’s fate we’re sealing
Let the snow flakes fall
They’re like diamonds in the night
Nature’s riches shining bright
Returning everything to right
Love reigns now for all
Let your soul dance
Let your spirit take a chance
Let your soul dance
Raise you glass to the new day
It’s not about religion
Nuclear fission
Racial division
We’ve cast all that away
We won’t disparage
or let our hearts perish
We’ll join up in marriage
Everyone today
All of the creatures
Become our teachers
We’ve got to feature
The best that we can be
Our hearts will lead us
Will warm and feed us
The ones who need us
Will finally be free
When we let our souls dance
Let our spirits take a chance
Let our souls dance
Raise a glass to the new day
Interdependence
An end to violence
An age of tolerance
These are our sacraments
Of our soul

Black Patent and Sparkles - In Its Own Words
writer(s): Detrick, Dana Marie (ASCAP); Clark, Paul Martin (ASCAP)
publisher: Serious Vanity Music (ASCAP)
I place a velvet top hat upon you chilly head
No buttons for your shirt (you cold hearted flirt)
You wear sequins instead
And in your twiggy grasp, no silly broom will do
I give you a guitar (you rock star)
To rock the cold night through
Black patent and sparkles
Shimmer in the snow
Like a million spotlights
Shining on the mistletoe
Black patent and sparkles
To melt your frosty heart
Now to make you a companion
Another little cold and lusty tart
Embellishments in black upon your flesh so white
Coal creates your nose (to match your painted toes)
And your eyes that match the night
The scarf around your neck becomes the envy of the crowd
But I’ll protect you from them all (among suburban sprawl)
While the sun says I’m allowed
Black patent and sparkles
Shimmer in the snow
Like a million tiny lights
Shining on the mistletoe
Black patent and sparkles
To melt your frosty heart
Now to make you a companion
Another little cold and lusty tart
Playing in the snow’s my favorite part

The Garland Song - In Its Own Words
writer(s): Detrick, Dana Marie (ASCAP); Clark, Paul Martin (ASCAP)
publisher: Serious Vanity Music (ASCAP)
As we hang the garland boughs
Around our hearth and home
I think of all the holidays
With you that I have known
You make the season seem so right
Basking in your spirit burning bright
As we plan the gifts to give
To family and friends
The best gift I’ll receive
I know is on that never ends
Your love is always joy to me
Better than all that’s under the tree
Traditions may evolve with time
And some may pass away
At least on thing will always be
On every holiday
I’ll wake to see your smiling face
Marvel at the power of your grace
And as we take the garland down
Once the year is new
I’ll have but more fond memories
Of time I spent with you
The magic of the season I hold dear
Sharing it together every year

Merry xXxmas - In Its Own Words
writer: Clark, Paul Martin (ASCAP)
publisher: Serious Vanity Music (ASCAP)
I’d like to say it’s just another Christmas
Just like all the years before
But now I think it’s time for all of us
To remember what the season’s for
Mass consumption
Disorderly and drunken
Merry Christmas...
Let’s start a riot at the mall
I wanna spend the night in jail
There I’ll find some peace and quiet
And escape my Merry Christmas hell
Florescent lights
Shitty food and fights
Merry Christmas...
I’d like to say it’s just another Christmas
Just like all the years before
But now I think it’s time for all of us
To remember what the season’s for
Mass consumption
Disorderly and drunken
Merry Christmas...

A Christmas Spark - In Its Own Words
writer: Detrick, Dana Marie (ASCAP)
publisher: Serious Vanity Music (ASCAP)
Red velvet suits
And big black boots
You’re lookin’ like I know you
On Christmas Eve
I will believe
Got a present I want to show you
You’ve got a million more to see
But I want you just for me
Please don’t keep me waiting
All the games we could be playing
All the time you keep me saying
Ho -
Among the stars
Dodging all radars
You know you’re shining brighter
You look so free
Supernaturally
I just want to hold you tighter
I will keep you by my side
Will you take me for a ride
On the rooftops we’ll be parking
All the night we will be sparking
Ho -
In the morning light you’ll disappear
And I’ll have to wait a year
No more misbehaving
So down my chimney you will climb
To fill my stocking one more time

Twas the Week before Christmas..
'Twas the week before Christmas
and under the tree
not a present was sitting
with a tag marked from "me".
I've waited to shop
now what's left is the same
boring gift cards or knick-knacks
that make me look lame.
But wait! Who's that sending me
an email with care?
Serious Vanity Records - of course!
They have the perfect gifts there!
Too Cool for the Yule
is their holiday treat.
They'll mail it, or I can download
and my list is complete!
Or there's Bangs...Sounds of the 80's
with pop, folk, and rock.
They sell both sets together now
to stuff that rad retro sock!
To make the holiday a little "Duran"-ier
I'll have to grab Glue.
At 2-for-1, I'll get one for a friend
and save one for myself, too!
Serious Vanity Records
once again saved the day!
And with some releases a instant downloads
I can even shop on Christmas Day!
So music fans take heed
and always remember
we've got what you need
any day in December!
In fact, here's a free track
to share with your friends.
Happy holidays to all
Together, we'll make music FUN again!
x0x0,
Dana and Paul from Serious Vanity Records
Artist Profile - Black Bar Prophecy
I’m a little bit country, and I’m a little bit Edgar Allen Poe isn’t exactly how the song went, but this outfit is all about breaking tradition. Black Bar Prophecy lives at the crossroads of Loretta Lynn Boulevard and Robert Smith Drive, blending twang and twilight without apology, while cordially creating a buzz. “Bat Country” has never been such a nice place to visit!
Artist Profile - Post Orgasmic Trauma
David Bowie may have been the man who sold the world, but Post Orgasmic Trauma are making a valiant effort to buy it back. Combining old school glam rock riffs with a penchant for strong pop hooks, funky, made-for-the-dancefloor bass lines, and sophisticated yet sassy fashion, it’s easy to see the influence of classic acts like Bowie and P-Funk, as well as new wave mainstays like Blondie and Duran Duran. But this ain’t your mama’s retro act; there’s something futuristic in their sound, too, that won’t isolate the moderns looking for the next big thing.
Artist Profile - Gentlemen Prefer Bombs
Gentelemen Prefer Bombs is like a science fiction poetry slam at a European disco, with the ghost of Andy Warhol taking pictures in the corner. Mixing driving electronica with visual media, old fashioned radio programs, and classic storytelling, it creates a pop culture phenom worthy of the origin of its name (The Simpsons, for anyone not keeping score at home).
Artist Profile - Dana Detrick
Like many of her idols before her, Dana Detrick has chosen to wear many frilly hats: guitar virtuoso, producer, bandleader, voice over actress, mini mogul, singer/songwriter, opera composer, cat herder. She’s now embracing her pop roots and accepting her destiny to spread infectious, hook-laden, guitar driven productions across the independent music landscape, etching her name in the earth big enough to be seen from at least Venus.
Long Hard Winter - What's the Story?
Alright, it's not really a "Christmas" song and it's a little twangy, sue me. "Long Hard Winter" came about after I'd come up with that Keith Richards style guitar part that you can hear throughout the song. I'd been in a REAL Stonsey frame of mind around the time that it was recorded and I just let it flow.
The lyric was written after the fact, but I wanted to kinda play up on the blues feeling that the music brought to the piece. I wanted to capitalize on the harshness of Winter and how it can tear down the soul and how it takes a strong person to see it through without falling victim to the grayness of it all. I guess maybe it's really just an ode to depression, or maybe a ballad to the feeling of seeing the light of Spring.
