So often we fight through challenges that feel impossible in the moment. We climb the mountain, survive the storm, push through tragedy - and then move on without ever pausing to look back.
But if you did look back, you'd see just how far you've come. You'd see the strength that's been built in you. You'd see the kind of person you've become. The kind that can now do REALLY hard things.
This song is not about us, it's about you. It's about giving yourself permission to breathe it in, to recognize the trials that have shaped you into someone stronger than you ever imagined.
You deserve to take that bow. You deserve the standing ovation. You deserve the APPLAUSE!
With Love,
Mat & Savanna

APPLAUSE Lyrics:
For every no they ever told you
For every time you thought you should quit
For every curve that life has thrown you
For every swing, for every miss
You finally got your fingers on that dream so out of reach
Now the lights are coming up and they’re all on their feet
Take a bow, take a bow
It’s your standing ovation
Hear the roar of the crowd
It’s your spotlight, so take it
Remember what you had to go through to get here
Every heartbreak, every good, every bad tear
Breathe it all in, take the win when that curtain falls
You deserve the applause
Let ‘em feel the truth you’re singing
Open your heart and let it pour
Show em what it means to keep on believing
And leave ‘em wanting more
Take a bow, take a bow
It’s your standing ovation
Hear the roar of the crowd
It’s your spotlight, so take it
Remember what you had to go through to get here
Every heartbreak, every good, every bad tear
Breathe it all in, take the win when that curtain falls
You deserve the applause
You deserve the applause
You finally got your fingers on that dream so out of reach
Now the lights are coming up and they’re all on their feet
So take a bow, take a bow
It’s your standing ovation
Hear the roar of the crowd
It’s your spotlight, so take it
Remember what you had to go through to get here
Every heartbreak, every good, every bad tear
Breathe it all in, take the win when that curtain falls
You deserve the applause

![A Christmas Well Remember [Official Music Video] - Father Daughter Mat & Savanna Shaw
Album available here: https://album.link/achristmaswellremember
The title song to our new Christmas album A Christmas Well Remember! Album available everywhere you get your music.
Ultimately, the only thing that will really stick with us are the memories. This song is nostalgia and candy canes and Christmas morning all wrapped into one. It reminds us to have stress less about the presents and focus on the moments, which may seem small and insignificant, but end up being the very thing that makes it “A Christmas To Remember”!
Lyrics:
I wanna have a Christmas well remember
Carols and bells and a tree with lights
Merry greetings of tis the season
Around the town thats snowy white
I wanna have a Christmas well remember
Ribbons and bows all December through
Pecan pie late at night oh
I wanna have a Christmas well remember
Together, in the Yuletide fireside weather
Cups of coco and sweaters
Making memories we treasure, forever
I wanna have a Christmas well remember
Holly and ivy and Hallmark cards
Shopping lists full of thoughtful gifts
And a light up reindeer in the yard
Together, in the yuletide fireside weather
Cups of coco and sweaters
Making memories we treasure, forever
Oo, oh I wanna have a Christmas
Oo, to look back on when the snows gone
I wanna have a Christmas well remember
Family traditions and old heirlooms
Stories by candlelight oh
I wanna have a Christmas well remember
Peace and tidings of Joy oh
I wanna have a Christmas well remember
Well remember
