The Season's Upon Us - Dropkick Murphys - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Dropkick Murphys set out a festive scene from the off in the opening gambit to "The Season's Upon Us." "The season's upon us, it's that time of year / Brandy and eggnog, there's plenty of cheer / There's lights on the trees and there's wreaths to be hung There's mischief and mayhem and songs to be sung," they chant over a traditional-sounding backdrop of Irish folk. This humour-spiked postcard depicts a Christmassy family reunion but reminds of the dysfunction that's often present in some of the proceedings. "I'm so glad this day only comes once a year / You can keep your opinions, your presents, your happy new year," shouts lead vocalist Al Barr. “The Season’s Upon Us" was released as the second single from Dropkick Murphys' eighth studio album, the non-festive-focussed Signed And Sealed In Blood, which was released in January 2013 on the band's own Born & Bred Records label and went to number nine on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
