Circa Blue has produced a lyric video for the title track and first single from their Christmas album, Bells Of Home, with Dawn Kenney.
The song, written by David Morris and Dawn Kenney, is based on a 1944 Christmas Day battle in Belgium, during the Battle of the Bulge in World War II. It imagines a lonely soldier thinking of how lovely Christmas must be be back in the States, as he longs for those bells of home.
Chuck Backus of the Midwest Documentary Center created the video from archival war and other images from the ’40s. In addition to his documentary work, Chuck is also a bass player in bluegrass and other genres.
Here’s his Bells Of Home video…
