December of ‘04, we got a Yuletide show
the miracle of manna, an inch of snow
it didn’t melt all day
we used a trash can for a sleigh
and we still talk about it
here at decades older, I am less impressed
seems the blessing only comes with bitterness
bi-annually, at least, the pipes and asphalt will freeze
and we’ll still talk about it
if I wish for anything this year,
it would be a bigger house
with walls spaced far enough apart
to keep my loved ones out the dark
when the power grid goes out
cause I keep you in my heart
yeah, I keep you even when we are apart
and I’d keep you out of the dark
if I only could
all that you believe in can survive this one
a fairy only keeps her wings if you cheer them on
well, it’s hard to find a star
in all this godforsaken dark
so I’ll believe in you
sure, the days are colder and the nights are long
but don’t you worry, I don’t think the magic’s gone
we could light a fire
we could lift our voices higher
we can believe in you
if I wish for anything this year,
it would be a crystal ball
or the winning numbers on the wall
wouldn’t want a dime or dollar
only power to change anything at all
cause I keep you in my heart
I keep you even when we are apart
I’d keep you out of the dark
if I only could
yeah, I keep you in my heart
I keep you even when we’re worlds apart
I will keep you out of the dark

In the fall of 2012, the sibling duo released their debut full-length record Through the Deep, Dark Valley, an album full of regret and redemption, which they wrote, recorded, produced, mixed, and mastered themselves.
