Merry Christmas everyone!
I know it´s late this year, but it´s never too late (or too early?) for christmas, isn´t it?
The thing is, of course i wanted to record this song in front of a christmas tree and so i had to wait until christmas...
This beautiful Jamie Cullum song was ringing in my ears for weeks now... Thank you Jamie! :)
Check out his christmas album „The pianoman at christmas“, it´s fantastic!!!

The guitar you see is a 1965 Martin D18, the guitar on the second track is a Sigma DR 1 ST (which i love very much...) and the Piano is a Roland FP60.

Sitting down there at the old folks home
Crooning "White Christmas"
I got three hundred songs about Santa Claus under my fingers
Then down to the Crown hotel
Play 'till our heads hurt like hell
I'm asking myself
Who am I supposed to be?
But there's always somewhere to go
You're never gonna be lonely
Under the mistletoe
I thought I could be your man
But I'm just the pianoman
At Christmas
There's always a new place to go to
Just no one to go with
But when I strike up with old Nat King Cole
I'm the hero 'till morning
While they rock around the tree
I can't shake I feel so empty
I'm asking myself
Who am I supposed to be?
But there's always somewhere to go
You're never gonna be lonely
Under the mistletoe
I thought I could be your man
But I'm just the pianoman
Well, I've always been a loner with some songs in my back pocket
And a million bar room uprights couldn't bring me any solace
Will someone come and tell me
Who am I supposed to be? Ooh
I'm just tryin' to find my way through
Don't care about a savior, just wanna hold on to you
I thought I could be your man
I'm just the pianoman
Yeah, there's always somewhere to go
You're never gonna be lonely
Under the mistletoe
I thought I could be your man
But I'm always the pianoman at Christmas
