2025 was CMAT's year, without a doubt. Skip back to December 2020, and Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson teamed up with Ronan Kealy aka Junior Brother to release the alternative, acoustic festive fare that is Uncomfortable Christmas.
You can this, plus CMAT's pre-global superstardom catalogue on Bandcamp; Junior Brothers also put his wares up there.
A mad old time, one big racket
I hate the smell of your winter jacket
I hate to think how long you've had it now
A dying fire was not long roaring
Technically it's no Christmas morning
But I won't leave till the drinks stop pouring out
I could feel you moving from the back of my...
The one thing I don't want is a holiday fight
Everybody laughs but it leaves us in the wreckage
Oh and I didn't wanna sit next to you
I hate this season of uncomfortable truths
And trees that lie like the way your eyes used to
When you looked at me
When you looked at me
No surprise
That's why I suit myself
That's why there's no big present on the kitchen shelf
Just a trail of white from the fire to the roof
Is it a new year when the sleigh bells ring?
Did this turkey die for my sins?
Is it okay to be nervous all of the time?
Oh and I didn't wanna sit next to you
I hate this town, that's why I had to move
And trees that lie like the way your eyes used to
When you looked at me (Uncomfortable Christmas)
When you looked at me (Uncomfortable Christmas)
When you looked at me (Uncomfortable Christmas)
When you looked at me
