A Sufjan Stevens Christmas - Myrrh [Side A]

Introduction
Over the course of 11 years, electro/folk artist Sufjan Stevens has recorded nearly 5 hours of Christmas music, spread out over 10 volumes.

I picked my favorites of the bunch and re-ordered them into 3 distinct "records."

Each "record" is laid out like a real LP and consists of two 15-20 minute "sides." Each record and side has its own unique feel.

1. Myrrh [Side A]

Myrrh was one of the three gifts given to Jesus at his birth. It is an embalming oil meant to symbolize the mortal.

1. Angels We Have Heard on High [0:46]
2. Put the Lights on the Tree [1:48]
3. It's Christmas! Let's Be Glad! [1:55]
4. Lumberjack Christmas / No One Can Save You from Christmases Past [3:22]
5. Sister Winter [5:05]
6. We Wish You a Merry Christmas [1:16]

Total: 14:10
