"I think most
people think this song is about the distance between two lovers over the
holidays. For me, I felt a sense that it was about a father going off
to war whose family hopefully anticipated his return at Christmas time.
With war sadly still playing such a huge role in the headlines, I was
compelled to cover it. The truth is however, that this song was written
for the Pretenders' original guitar player, James Honeyman-Scott, who
passed away the year before the song was released. Whatever it means to
you, I hope it brings some holiday spirit and gratitude into your hearts
as it did for me!"... Jen Lane
Saskatoon’s Jen Lane is a veteran singer-songwriter and recording artist. Her most recent release, “This Life of Mine”, is a strong statement by an artist who is able to honestly, and with great passion and depth, sing about the ups and downs of life – and finds Jen in the exact place that she has always meant to be; at the very heart of where roots, folk, and country music harmoniously intertwine.
Lane toured from coast to coast numerous times to promote “This Life of Mine”, which charted on National College Radio for over 12 weeks, including reaching #1 on the Earshot Folk/Roots chart. It also garnered substantial radio play on CBC and Satellite Radio, and she performed on dozens of television shows across the country.
Releasing her first CD, “Sleepless” at just 16 years old, Lane garnered a lot of attention on the Canadian music scene, and was nominated for “Outstanding Independent Album” at the Prairie Music Awards. Her self-titled 2006 album and the 2010 follow-up, “For The Night”, were both nominated for Western Canadian Music Awards.
