so i have a son, hes gonna be 3 in feb. last year at x-mas he knew what was going on to an extent. this year he knows full blown that santa is comming. and i love it.
now eds daughter is almost a year older. for the song ed put on, its what he is seeing in his daughters eyes. and from his youth too.
he see the excitement and antisipation(sp?) is his kids eyes.
imo thats whrere this song came from.
i cant wait till tuesday for my son to wake up and see all the presents under the tree. its going to be one of the happiest days of my life.
too see the joy of a 3 year old on christmas day is a beautifull thing.
"sant is god" to the young and innocent.

and i just found out i have another child too spoil on x-mas next year. not that he or she will know whats going on but still.

so all in all, i think this song is ed seeing his little girl soo excited for x-mas.

good job.
Just, not enough.
I need more.
Nothing seems to satisfy.
I said, I dont want it.
I just need it.
To breathe, to feel, to know Im alive.

    I thought so to, he wrote it for her, but now I can see
    how deep actually it is. You're right, he's seeing/singing
    this from her point of view and it inspired him to write this
    cute tune. I love it. and it's awesome to remember
    when us grown ups were young, the only way to go back
    is when you're around kids and (I assume) especially when
    you got your own. Awesome!

    Congrats on the newbie!

    I too have a 3year old (daughter) who is very excited this year. The only thing she has asked Santa for is a train set. Not Thomas the Train but a real "smoke puffin", train whislin", "bell clanging" train. I went to a local hobby train store last night and picked one out. As I was paying I noticed some pics behind the clerk and what did I see? Neil Young posing with the clerk from different years! He evidently pops in from time to time and was just there the day of his October concert in Detroit. The clerk said he is the nicest person, very gracious.

    Anyways Face, like you I cannot wait for XMAS morning to arrive :)

    Merry Xmas

    I must say that having a 3 year old does make the anticipation for Christmas morning fun, almost as much as when I was a kid myself.
    Last year when ho took the corner into the living room and saw all the stuff under the tree he just stopped and stared in amazement...had to be convinced it was for him and it was OK to go play with it. This year I think he'll just attack the stuff.
    This weekend we rock Portland
