[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
Another music video from R. Michael Brown, writer | producer.
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…
Wrote and produced a Thanksgiving love song for my wife Leonor Maya Martinez (Mama) about our life here now on #LakeHuntley in Lake Placid, FL.

I can write and produce one for your special person, occasion, product, or brand.
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.

Don’t check your heart at the door. Ever thought about why some messages really GRAB ATTENTION while others seem to disappear?
Persuasion has been around forever and is mandatory for your business, but you need to understand how it works. It impacts our choices, shapes decisions, and prompts action.
If you want your business to thrive, get a grip on this art. There are only two ways to persuade.
First, at the core lies psychology, particularly significant emotional events like crises… …or amazing great news… …and second, the repeated message strategy, much like ads and commercials.
These two ways can boost your influence on customers, businesses, and government entities.
