On a Winter Solstice

(Dawn Isbell Wilson)

This song honors the hush and depth of the longest night. The Winter Solstice marks a turning point—a time to gather close, light candles against the dark, and listen for ancestral whispers beneath the snow. It’s a ritual of endurance and quiet hope, a celebration of the light’s slow return.

Verse
As frost thickens on window glass
The longest night has come to pass
The trees stand bare yet we still dream
Of flowers growing by a stream

Chorus
Another year around the sun
We celebrate what we’ve become
Another turn another year
We cherish all who gather here

Verse
The longest night has come to pass
The snow is heavy on the grass
It’s cold outside yet we are warm
Waiting for the Spring reborn

Chorus
Another year around the sun
We celebrate what we’ve become
Another turn another year
We cherish all who gather here

Verse
Our hearts contain the ancient lore
Of all our kindred here before
We live, we love, we laugh out loud
As nature rests in silent shroud

Bridge
We’ll rejoice while candles burn
Waiting for the sun’s return
We wait for days that soon will bloom
In winter’s rest
We banish gloom

Chorus
Another year around the sun
We celebrate what we’ve become
Another turn another year
We cherish all who gather here

Exit Interview with God

By Dawn Isbell Wilson

It has always disturbed me how some parents, children, or friends can calmly accept an idea that their loved ones might burn for an ETERNITY while they walk the streets of gold, playing harps, or whatever. It’s sad that so many millions of people cling to the cruellest, most horrendous god belief because they are afraid of hell. You have to be some kind of monster, yourself, to truly worship a god that would have created eternal torment for finite crimes. Especially, the crime of disbelief. If I actually believed for one moment that…wait, I honestly did believe it. For three years, from the age of 12 to 15, I was tormented by the idea of my family being tortured forever and ever. Their only crime? Disbelief. I was willing to suffer that same fate because the idea of a heaven without them was unthinkable to me. When I left the church, I fully believed I would go to hell and I didn’t care because I was done worshipping a monster.

A Song to Auld Lang Syne

By Dawn Isbell Wilson

This my nostalgic tribute to New Year’s Eve. This swing-inspired ballad begins with idea of warmth and celebration with champagne toasts. I was born long after the Swing era ended, but this is the music I remember listening to as a child, often in the old B&W movies we’d watch on television on Christmas and New Year’s Eve. But beneath the sparkle lies a deeper plea: to remember the pain that shaped our music, the truths that built our nation, and the voices too often scrubbed from history. I invite you to honor the past. All of it, not just the parts we cherish, but the ones we must reckon with. It’s a toast to memory, a warning against erasure, and a reminder that beauty and justice are born from truth. Whether you’re dancing with your sweetheart or sitting by the fire, let this song be your ritual: a melody for the turning of the year, and a vow to never forget.

Ghosts of Midwinter

By Dawn Isbell Wilson

When I set out to write “Ghosts of Midwinter”, my plan was to begin with a verse that spoke of the fun Victorian tradition of telling scary stories on Christmas Eve. This tradition is far older than the Victorians, but it was going to be my starting point, and my song was going to morph into a ghost story. That was the plan, anyway. But as I read a bit more, I decided to go back to the Pagan celebrations, the building of Stonehenge, then how the Romans embraced Christianity (starting with the upper classes). In spite of all efforts, and even though many “lower class” Romans became Christian, the Winter Solstice traditions could not be squashed. By the end, I had a song that whispers both history and mythology. But most of all, the very nature of the human spirit. I hope once again that everyone, however, you celebrate the season (with or without gods), finds ways to come together in peace and in love.

The Cost of Silence

By Dawn Isbell Wilson

This protest song born was of rage and urgency. I wrote it in response to the hypocrisy of those who claim to “protect women and girls” while stripping away our rights, ignoring our voices, and weaponizing fear against trans people, immigrants, and anyone who doesn’t fit their narrow mold. I’ve heard too many white, cis men suddenly concerned about women’s sports; men who never cared until it became a tool for exclusion. Meanwhile, women are dying because their reproductive rights have been erased. The only protection we need is from those who claim to speak for us while silencing us. This song is a reckoning. A reminder of what happens when we don’t speak out. I remembered the words of Martin Niemöller: "First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me." So I wrote a version for America, 2025.
