The Divys’ new single, “A Thousand Christmas Trees,” is the perfect holiday song for this season. It’s a heartfelt mix of emotions, combining loss and hope into a beautiful piece of music that feels both intimate and uplifting. The song’s energy comes from its rhythmic beats and captivating vocals, creating an atmosphere that immediately pulls you in.
The instrumentation is excellent and it complements the vocals perfectly. The guitar solo is emotional, melodic, and gives the song some depth. The chorus is so catchy that you’ll be humming it long after the song is over. Every second of this track feels meaningful from start to finish and its honesty makes it easy to connect with.
The song tells a moving story about finding comfort in memories and signs of love that persist even after someone is physically gone. The protagonist reminds us that their presence is still felt in the snow, the twinkling lights, and the joy of the season. It’s a message that feels both personal and universal, making the song relatable to anyone who’s experienced loss.
The Divys are a Philadelphia-based band featuring William Rule on vocals and keyboards and Kliffee Cee on guitars and backing vocals. Their talent shines brightly in this track, showing their ability to craft music that’s not only polished but also deeply emotional.
We think “A Thousand Christmas Trees” is one of the best holiday songs we’ve heard in years. It’s rare to find a Christmas song that balances emotional depth with such a catchy and memorable sound. This track is sure to find its way onto countless holiday playlists and it deserves to be there. If you’re looking for something fresh and meaningful this season, this song is a must-listen.
ABOUT THE DUO:
It all started on South 13th Street in Center City, Philadelphia. Brought together in 2004 by a musicians wanted ad, The Divys (pronounced The Dih-veez) were born. Both fans of John Waters films, it only seemed appropriate to name the band after the late, great Divine, Divi having been his nickname.
While The Divys weren’t quite sure how to merge their individual styles, they just did what came naturally. Having grown up during the launch of MTV, the Atari 2600, and landline telephones, Kliffee’s harder rock background and William’s electronic dance music past (which included working with legendary producer Bobby “O” Orlando in the mid 1990’s) blended perfectly into a sound they had both experienced first hand – The Second British Invasion, which became known as New Wave.
Songs came quickly, and pretty soon The Divys released their first collection on a CD titled This Is What You Get. A combination of unrequited love and wanting to push the envelope led to the song Freddie Are You Single, and a 90’s-like dance remix led to them winning the 2006 John Lennon Songwriting Contest.
Contest winnings aside, The Divys continued to write and record. A second collection of songs was completed, called Sophomore, but was never released to CD. The songs experimented by adding some elements of 70’s pop and Disco, Breathless among those songs. A third group of songs was released on CD in 2008, simply called The Divys, which included Breathless as a bonus track.
The Divys took a short break to relax and regroup, but inspiration never dies, and neither do good pop songs, which brings us to 2020.
Several years had gone by, but the same inspiration and magic The Divys tapped into previously, was right there to greet them upon their return. The result was World On Fire, a fitting song about the state of the world during the pandemic. The next song, Thank You (For Wrecking My Life) is a story as old as the world itself – a love/hate song. Again, This Time, and Don’t Wanna Wake Up brought the new song count to five. 2022 saw the release of Not Your Boyfriend, and 2023 started off with a bang with the February 03 release of Culture Shock and Culture Shock (Pharmaceutical Bliss Mix). 2023 also saw the releases of Every Road Leads Back To You, You Said Things, and Twisted.
