LIZZIE CATES - CHRISTMAS EVE

Rising Nashville recording artist, Lizzie Cates, writes her very first Christmas song, titled, “Christmas Eve.” A song in which the main character spent the past Christmas falling in love, only to find herself the following year empty handed and heart broken. But, with the chorus providing a glimmer of hope in the closing lines, “I still believe in you and me just like I still believe in Christmas Eve,” gives the listener an opportunity to create their own magical or perhaps standstill ending. The song’s sound is full, and warm, with acoustic guitars, mandolin, sleigh bells, and the build of an orchestra in the last half of the song gives it that, “grand” finale feel.
