Tinsel and Lights is a metaphor for human hope in the face of that darkness and cold. Thorn selects her songs carefully, and self-pens two âJoyâ, âTinsel, and Lightsâ, to create an atmosphere over the whole album An atmosphere of yearning, longing, loneliness, but all set against the hope that makes us human. As she sings on âJoyâ: âWe must be alright if we can make up Christmas night. Thereâs a great version of Jack Whiteâs âIn the Cold, Cold Nightâ and Joni Mitchellâs âRiverâ. Released 2012. Tinsel and Lights Tracklist. Joy therefore, in its own downbeat, understated way, Tinsel and Lights does more for festive good cheer than any number of more traditional Christmas albums that go straight for the razzle-dazzle.
