The latest episode of Chuck, “Chuck versus Santa Claus”, included a really amazing song at the end that perfectly captured the poignancy of the ending of the episode- something that caught my eye ear.

After I watched it, I could little info about the song. Thankfully, now there is information all over the place. The song is “Christmas and Me Are Through” by Your Vegas. Lovely. Unfortunately, it’s not on their debut album. After an hour of searching, I finally found it on thesixtyone.com (click to listen to it!) , where you can either listen to it streaming on the site or you can download it. It seems that the band themselves are OK with the MP3 being available for free, since it isn’t available on iTunes or on an actual album. I think that’s really cool.

Digging a little deeper I found that Your Vegas is a alternative/rock band. Interestingly, alternative/rock music makes up almost half of my current library. So obtained the band's debut album: A Town and Two Cities. The music is amazing. Its like a wonderful composition of ambience and sound. They're similar with coldplay, but unlike coldplay, the lead singer is always the main focus of the music.

Somehow, the music seems to describe this year's christmas accurately.

UPDATE: Found the player!

Lyrics:
Laugh a little louder
Sing a little prouder
See you in the Rose and Crown
We’ll raise a glass to this old town
Home is where the heart is
The end is where the start is
Have a happy holiday
Remember, boy, to smile when you frown
Out by the old church
I can hear them sing
Long live the king

Oh, Santa Claus, Santa Claus
There’s no Christmas here anymore
Put the bells away
Burn the sleigh
Throw the presents out of my door
‘Cos she’s gone, gone
Everything they said was true
Christmas and me are through

Why’d you go and leave me
I guess you didn’t need me
Funny when you did it hey
All alone on Christmas Day
Wonder where the time goes
Dressing in the same clothes
Funny how the turkey tastes
With lunches from the microwave cold
Down by the old school
I can hear them sing
Love killed the king

Santa Claus, Santa Claus
There’s no Christmas here anymore
Put the bells away
Burn the sleigh
Throw the presents out of my door
‘Cos she’s gone, gone
Everything they said was true
Christmas and me are through
Christmas and me are through
Christmas and me are through

Santa Claus, Santa Claus
There’s no Christmas here anymore
Put the bells away
Burn the sleigh
Throw the presents out of my door
‘Cos she’s gone, gone
Everything they said was true
Christmas and meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee are through


I've been listening to it on repeat of times now. Play count is at 15.
