Behind the Jingles

[Verse]
Snow is falling like a velvet lie
Blankets the world but hides the why
Songs are sung with sugarcoated cheer
But the cracks in the smiles are crystal clear
[Prechorus]
Bells are ringing
But what are they bringing
[Chorus]
Behind the jingles
There's a truth untold
A story buried in the winter cold
The shine
The sparkle
The perfect scene
It's not always what it seems
[Verse 2]
Lights are strung but shadows grow long
The warmth feels thin though the fire’s strong
They wrap the world in ribbons and bows
But the heart of it all
No one knows
[Prechorus]
Voices singing
But the silence is stinging
[Chorus]
Behind the jingles
There's a truth untold
A story buried in the winter cold
The shine
The sparkle
The perfect scene
It's not always what it seems

pop, vocal, dramatic, dynamic builds and a touch of melancholy in the verses, female vocals, rich synth layers with orchestral strings swelling in the chorus
