In “The Waiting Room” Again (In a Good Way)
Cats: Music|No, no one’s hurt. This is a good thing. “The Waiting Room” is the title of a song by one of my favorite bands, Sixpence None the Richer. to see what prompted a 5am blog post, read this excerpt (reposted here with much love & respect) from the Sixpence None the Richer fan newsletter:
“New Christmas album “The Dawn of Grace” coming October 14
Sixpence None The Richer has put the finishing touches on its first Christmas album “The Dawn of Grace”. Set to be released on October 14, the album includes eight traditional Christmas songs and two originals, “The Last Christmas” and “Christmas for Two.”

Why do a Christmas album? Leigh Nash says ‘Sixpence fans have been asking for a Christmas album for as long as I can remember. It was something we always wanted to do, but somehow time got away from us. Now that we are back together, we thought a Christmas album would be a nice gift for our long time supporters. We love it and hope they will too!’”
I am very much excited for the Christmas album; it’s been forever since I’d been ‘waiting’ for a new Sixpence album to come out. But what’s all this about ‘Now that we are back together?’ The band has been apart for a few years, as far as I know. Then I read this
“Sixpence will be going back to the studio in the coming weeks to work on a new album for 2009.”
And now the word ‘elation’ comes to mind, and I find myself hoping they mean something like January 2009, and not October.

Hmm, how did I miss the blurb in March announcing the band was getting back together? Oh, that’s right, I was going nuts trying to adopt a baby, sell a house, and buy a house, while learning my new job and commuting an hour and a half each day. Okay, I guess I won’t feel so dumb that I missed that announcement.
