For the progressive rock band formed in Woodstock, NY in 1994, see 3.
1) Three were a post-hardcore band signed to Dischord records featuring members of Gray Matter and ex-Minor Threat drummer Jeff Nelson. Formed in 1986, they broke up by 1988 just before releasing an album called Dark Days Coming. They are best known for their song "Swann Street" which featured on their sole album as well as a couple of Dischord compilations.
After recording the Egg Hunt songs in England, Ian MacKaye and Jeff Nelson considered forming a new band. They played with Geoff Turner and Steve Niles of Gray Matter, but the project never got off the ground and Ian decided to leave. The others carried on, and soon added yet another Gray Matter member, Mark Haggerty, and this line-up would become Three. Meanwhile, Steve had started his own comic book company, Arcane Comix, which he operated out of the apartment that he shared with Geoff on Swann Street in the Dupont Circle area of DC. It was this street that served as inspiration for the song of the same name, and the line "these berries smell like shit" referred to the small fruits that dropped to the sidewalks from the Ginkgo trees on the block. Three did a few short tours, and recorded at Geoff's home studio as well as Inner Ear. Things were looking up for them, but the band self-destructed before their album came out. Three and Happy Go Licky played their last shows together on New Year's Day, 1988.

2) Three consists of a set of identical triplet sisters, Fanny, Frida and Sofia, from Sweden. They are best known for their 2010 single “Lucky Number” and have released a self-titled debut album.
3) Imagine the best of three musical worlds harmoniously melting together - in this case, warm acoustic guitar and rhythms layered over bracing electric guitar accents and compelling drums fronted by vocals that balance between passionate and edgy. The best word to describe this musical meld is perhaps a genre of its own: Acousti-rock.
Three has released 3 NEW! songs Home, Unfamilair and wysiwyg all recorded at Powerhouse Studios. Stuart Covington engineering and also performing drums in the songs.
Bill Stu- vocals, guitar
Rack - guitar, vocals
T - bass
Stewy - drums
4) Three was a two piece Canberra band active in the 1990's whom consisted of virtuoso bass player Ben Green who also lent his voice to their compositions and Adrian McKerall (Ajax) who played drums and the odd spot of guitar. Their early demo's featured some ripping heavy bass playing that became more mature, mellow and the two piece minimalist approach was a uniquely Canberra voice as they developed.
Both members were active in other acts in the Canberra region (Bungzilla, Tugboat, Slug, Prophets of Doom etc) and played to a wider audience touring Australia until the release of their full length "My Hat Is A Red Saucepan". Green built his own bass guitar that he played throughout his time in the band which eventually relocated to Melbourne in the mid 90s
Green also became proficient in turntables and began scratching with Melbourne dub outfit High Pass Filter, Three became less active and after Green's custom handmade bass was stolen, seemed to disband.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When it's made by me
And the cookies sit on the kitchen counter
Without your chocolate frosting
The space by the fireplace was
Made for one instead of two
But darling, Christmas lights
Always shine brighter with you
Wish we could be like those around us
Rushing around with presents wrapped in red and green
Back to their gingerbread houses
To fill up their Christmas stockings
Celebrating love, opening presents
Under the Christmas tree
But I know that I won't have that this year
Cause darling, you will always be home for me
Christmas in two different time zones
And it feels like you're too far gone
But you seem to be right here
When I play your favourite Christmas song
And I can't help but wonder
If there's never a same snowflake
That falls from the sky
Why can't Santa bring you on his sleigh tonight
Wish we could be like those around us
Rushing around with presents wrapped in red and green
Back to their gingerbread houses
To fill up their Christmas stockings
Celebrating love, opening presents
Under the Christmas tree
But I know that I won't have that this year
Cause darling, you will always be home for me
Since there's only one of us
Under the mistletoe
I'll mail you my heart
And hope it'll get to you by Christmas
In the song "Bleeding Me Home," Three sings about the bittersweet feeling of missing someone during the holiday season. The lyrics describe the little things that make Christmas special and how they are not the same without the person they are missing. Three's voice is warm and soulful, helping to capture the emotional depth of the song.
The first verse describes how everything feels different without the person, from the taste of hot chocolate to the absence of chocolate frosting on cookies. The second verse expresses the desire to be like other couples, exchanging gifts, and spending time together during the holiday season. However, the singer knows that they won't be able to because their loved one is far away. The final verse paints a picture of a lonely Christmas but ends on a hopeful note with the singer sending their heart via mail to the person they miss, hoping that it reaches them in time for Christmas.
Overall, the song captures the feeling of longing for someone during the holiday season and highlights the importance of companionship and love during this time of the year.
Line by Line Meaning
The hot chocolate tastes different
I notice the difference in the taste of hot chocolate when I make it myself
When it's made by me
As opposed to when someone else makes it for me
And the cookies sit on the kitchen counter
The cookies are just there, untouched and still
Without your chocolate frosting
I miss how you used to add frosting to the cookies we bake together
The space by the fireplace was
The fireplace was meant for two people before, but now only one person sits there
Made for one instead of two
The space is now too big and lonely for me
But darling, Christmas lights
But even though you're not here, Christmas lights still bring me joy
Always shine brighter with you
They shine brighter when we're together
Wish we could be like those around us
I wish we could celebrate Christmas like other couples
Rushing around with presents wrapped in red and green
Buying and wrapping presents together in a festive mood
Back to their gingerbread houses
And coming home to their cozy decorated house
To fill up their Christmas stockings
And filling their stockings with gifts and treats
Celebrating love, opening presents
And enjoying each other's company while opening gifts
Under the Christmas tree
Underneath the decorated Christmas tree
But I know that I won't have that this year
But I know I won't have that kind of celebration this year
Cause darling, you will always be home for me
Because, even though you're far away, you're still in my heart
Christmas in two different time zones
We're celebrating Christmas in different time zones
And it feels like you're too far gone
It feels like you're too far away, physically and emotionally
But you seem to be right here
But your presence still lingers and comforts me
When I play your favourite Christmas song
When I play the music that reminds me of you
And I can't help but wonder
And I can't stop thinking about
If there's never a same snowflake
If every snowflake is unique and different
That falls from the sky
That falls gently from above
Why can't Santa bring you on his sleigh tonight
Why can't you be here with me right now?
Since there's only one of us
Since I'm alone this Christmas
Under the mistletoe
Under the festive decoration
I'll mail you my heart
I'll send you a piece of myself
And hope it'll get to you by Christmas
And I hope you'll receive it before Christmas day.
