It's the season of Yuletide once again, a time of darkness and dreary weather, but also a time of partying inside every home. The harvest is gathered in, and the folk are mostly lounging around eating and staying warm and doing indoor tasks until it's time to get ready to head to the fields again. This song was inspired by the rune Manaz, which keeps on coming up a lot in my divination work and refers at least in my interpretation of it as the power of people working together. These neatly aligns with a point I've heard from excellent scientists who point out that humans are fundamentally social creatures whose main superpower is working as a team.
Musically, this should be pretty straightforward: 5 chords, and a straight rhythm. Guitarists will probably want to capo up 1 so they can play D-G-A-Bm-F#m instead of bar chords. I chose to record it with a chorus of vocals because it turns out that songs sound better when sung as a group too rather than working alone.

That means, in short, you can use them yourself and your grove, and play the song to your heart's content both in private and in public, but must give credit where credit is due, and if you're planning on selling something involving this song we need to talk about that first.
