[Verse 1] No alarm clocks No more rules Fog is falling We’re breaking school rules Bass boats turned into water sleds Candy canes dancing in our heads
[Chorus] Jingle bells are ringing Freedom’s in the air Pajamas all day We just don’t care Cookies in the oven Lights on the tree School’s out for Christmas Just you and me

He gave her roses in the morning light She crushed the petals Out of sight A thousand promises He kept them all But she built her kingdom on a house too small
She loves the lie The thrill of the game Stealing hearts Leaving blame He’s the sun She’s the shadow at noon Dancing under someone else’s moon
He carved her name in the oak out back She carved his trust with a cold attack His arms were steady His heart was true But she wore deceit like a brand-new shoe
A whisper here A secret there She walks on fire She doesn’t care
She loves the lie The thrill of the game Stealing hearts Leaving blame He’s the sun She’s the shadow at noon Dancing under someone else’s moon
She sees his tears but they don’t sting She wears betrayal like a diamond ring His love was the ocean Wide and deep But she swam away Secrets to keep…
Two years ago, an unknown artist named Oliver Anthony topped the Billboard Hot 100 with the viral country-folk tune “Rich Men North of Richmond.”
Whether you loved or hated it, the song was impossible to escape: I’ve been sellin’ my soul, workin’ all day / Overtime hours for bullshit pay.
The polarizing working-class anthem made Anthony (born Christopher Lunsford) the first artist to hit No. 1 with no prior chart history.
Since then, the 32-year-old Virginian released his debut album, Hymnal of a Troubled Man’s Mind, and then promptly quit the music industry—but apparently not before raking in some serious cash.
Brownie Bytes: He even booked his first ever live performance, 2 months before launching his hit, and was paid $200 to play for 2.5 hours at a farmers market. His hit went viral and 12,000+ showed up at that first live performance.
No longer just a niche hobby for dads and hipsters, vinyl is experiencing a major resurgence in mainstream music. According to the Recording Industry Association of America’s (RIAA) annual revenue report, vinyl records outsold CDs in the US last year for the first time since 1987, selling 41 million units against 33 million for CD.
Vinyl record sales have consistently increased over the last 16 years according to the RIAA report published on Thursday, now accounting for 71 percent of all physical music format revenue. The growth margins here aren’t trivial, either — while physical formats as a whole increased by 4 percent, earning $1.7 billion between 2021 and 2022, vinyl sales alone accounted for $1.2 billion, experiencing a 17 percent increase in sales compared to the previous year. Comparatively, CD sales plummeted by 18 percent in 2022.
Brownie Bytes asks why? Why do you think this music format is making a comeback? Doesn’t the digital version sound better?
