Well, neither me nor my character Aul celebrate Christmas, so I choose a different holiday. The lyric that means the most to me and Aul is "Bound to stumble and fall but my strength comes not from man at all."

For Aul, this means the Force and the Truth. What he is and always has been looking for. It drives him, gives him strength, and opens him to appreciation the miracle of Life and the Universe.

Miracle by Matisyahu
Just livin' the miracle, candles are my vehicle
Eight nights, gonna shine invincible
No longer be divisible, born to the struggle
Keep on moving through all this hustle
Head up, head down through all the bustle
New York City wanna flex your muscle
You look so down, look so puzzled
Huddle 'round your fire through all the rubble

Bound to stumble and fall but my strength comes not from man at all
Bound to stumble and fall but my strength comes not from man at all

Do you believe in miracles
And am I hearin' you
Said am I seein' you
Said eight nights and eight lights
End these fights, keep me right
And bless me to the highest heights with your miracles

Against all odds, trod on till tomorrow
Wipe away your tears and your sorrow
Sunrise in the sky like an arrow
No need to worry, no need to cry.
Light up your mind no longer be blind
Him who searches he'll find
Leave your problems behind
We will shine like a fire in the sky
What's the reason we're alive (Reason we're alive)
Bound to stumble and fall but my strength comes not from man at all
Bound to stumble and fall but my strength comes not from man at all

Do you believe in miracles
And Am I hearin' you
Said am I seein' you
Said eight nights and eight lights
End these fights, keep me right
And bless me to the highest heights with your miracles

Eight is the number of infinity one more than what you know how to be
And this is the light of festivity when your broken heart yearns to be free

Do you believe in miracles
And am I hearin' you
Said am I seein' you
Said eight nights and eight lights
End these fights, keep me right
And bless me to the highest heights with your miracles

Do you believe in miracles
And am I hearin' you
Said am I seein' you
Said eight nights and eight lights
End these fights, keep me right
And bless me to the highest heights with your miracles

Miracle, miracle, miracle

Christmas at Ground Zero, while it is a Christmas-themed parody is honestly probably the only Christmas song that comes to mind. Just as the song has a dark humor to it- Christmas in the middle of a World War 3 scenario- that is the only way that I can see Bentre Stahoes continuing into the darker future that is. He will have to essentially grin and bare it, miming emotions in place of actually facing the reality that he, his Clan, his family and his future are completely uncertain.

you're a mean one mr grinch.

My character has been through a lot and his spirits used to be high. But his brother was murdered in front of him and he was abandoned by his clan and friends during battle. If any song matches with my character its this one.
