about

We wanted to write a non typical Christmas song, something more universal and year-long in it's message but that exemplifies the Christmas spirit which is caring for those around us, be it family or complete strangers. We can wish for a better world or we can make one. "Wishful Thinking" is about how we do that, small gestures can lead to great things, we can pay it forward and make it part of our way of life. We hope this reaches as many people as possible, and that they enjoy it, thank you.

lyrics

Here’s a little wishful thinking
Be mindful of yourselves this Christmas
Leave behind our small misgivings
Fill those hearts whose joy is missing
It’s the season to be jolly
Makes more sense than senseless folly

Remember when your life was simpler
Hopes and dreams your stocking filler
So carry on this wishful thinking
And make it last beyond the winter
‘Cos when the cold around us gathers
That’s when goodwill truly matters

And if it’s only wishful thinking
Maybe it’s that I’ve been drinking
Forgive me for my past transgressions
This old fool could yet learn his lesson

Call on those who might just need it
Simple gestures, love preceded
Tell me that it’s wishful thinking
That I’m the only one who feels it
Make a case for all your wishes
This is all I want for Christmas

Spare a thought for those who need it
Simple gestures, love preceded
Tell me that it’s wishful thinking
That I’m the only one who feels
Make a case for all your wishes
This is all I want for Christmas

about

Track Dogs Madrid, Spain

Track Dogs are an acoustic four piece based in Spain but hail from Ireland, the US and UK.

Taking their name from the NY subway maintenance teams this closely-knit group of ex-pats have opted for Cajón instead of drums and trumpet in place of electric guitar. Four-part harmonies steal the show.
