  • A Christmas Song that celebrates lights, candles, carols, home, and....Stuart MacLean!
    So what’s so special about “Harrington Lane”? Well, originally this song wasn’t even going to be a Christmas song, but lyrically I just couldn’t find an idea to suit the music. Once we struck upon the idea that maybe it wanted to be a Christmas song, the ideas started to take shape. In the earliest versions it was Carrington Lane. I don’t know if there is a real Carrington Lane, but it sang well. Then I thought I should maybe use more of a reference to my family, and Harrington is a name on our family tree if you go back a bit on my mother’s side of the family. So it became Harrington Lane, and I started to imagine a romantic kind of old fashioned neighbourhood community. I was very much inspired by the memory of Dylan Thomas’s A Child’s Christmas in Wales. Gail suggested the idea of mentioning Stuart McLean and his wonderful story of Dave cooks the turkey (a Canadian classic). Gail created this wonderful lyric video, and I do encourage you to sing along like there’s nobody listening.
