1. An a cappella group consisting of Morgan Ames, Julie Delgado, Shelby Flint, Sheri Izzard, and Michael Mishaw. The group specializes in Christmas recordings.
2. An electro rock project by Adam Brierley.
3. Hailing from the northern city of Umeå, the Swedish quartret Inner Voices aims to combine melody, technicality and the pure joy of music into one tasty cake of progressive metal.
The band was formed in the fall of 2011 by a group of former classmates who all shared the love for music and silliness - magical music soon sprang from the rehearsal space in which the band spent many a-night jamming and writing the first initial songs.
During the spring of 2012 the band entered the studio initally during a weekend in February for a quick pre-production session, and again in the beginning of the summer for the main recordings for album - slated for release later in 2012.
In 2012 the band also got the chance to play an opening act gig for the band Hasse Fröberg & Musical Companion in their hometown of Umeå, where they were received very well by both audience and the headlining band.

Inner Voices Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on, our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
So hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on, our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
So hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
The lyrics to Inner Voices's song "Merry Christmas Baby" are a celebration of a wonderful Christmas spent with a loved one. The singer is full of gratitude for the kindness and thoughtfulness shown to them by their partner during the holiday season. The first two lines of the song, "Merry Christmas, baby, you really did treat me nice," are repeated twice and set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is overjoyed at the treatment they received and the gifts they were given, specifically a hi-fi system which has transformed their living situation into "paradise."
From here, the lyrics delve into the singer's feelings of happiness and contentment. They describe feeling "mighty fine" with "good music on [their] radio." The singer also expresses their desire to kiss and hug their partner while standing under the mistletoe. The second half of the song takes a bit of a turn, as the singer describes the arrival of Santa Claus ("Santa came down the chimney, 'bout a half past three") and the presents he left behind. However, the sentiment remains the same, with the singer expressing gratitude for the way they have been treated: "Merry Christmas baby, you really been good to me," they sing before closing out the song with the declaration of their love: "I will always love you baby / Now I'm happy as I can be."
Overall, "Merry Christmas Baby" is a joyful and heartfelt song that celebrates the love and generosity of the holiday season. It speaks to the way that Christmas can bring people together and strengthen their relationships, and the powerful emotions that come with giving and receiving thoughtful gifts.
