‘Maybe This Christmas’: Hear Jason Kelce’s Duet with Stevie Nicks
Jason Kelce has released “Maybe This Christmas,” his highly-publicized duet with Stevie Nicks.
The song is a cover of a track by Canadian singer-songwriter Ron Sexsmith, who released the song in 2002. The minimalist lyrics are incredibly sweet and touching and will likely strike a chord with many.
Maybe this Christmas will mean something more
Maybe this year love will appear
Deeper than ever before
And maybe forgiveness will ask us to call
Someone we love, someone we’ve lost
For reasons we can’t quite recall
Maybe this Christmas
Maybe there’ll be an open door
Maybe the star that shone before
Will shine once more
Maybe this Christmas will find us at last
In heavenly peace, grateful at least
For the love we’ve been shown in the past
Maybe this Christmas, maybe this Christmas
As previously reported, Jason Kelce talked about recording this duet with Nicks during an episode of his podcast New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce.
The retired Philadelphia Eagles center said, “The legendary Stevie Nicks came on and did a duet with me, which in itself is, like, pretty crazy to actually be on a track with Stevie Nicks … [She’s] probably the most legendary female singer, especially of her generation … [and so] the fact that I’m singing with her this legend, is pretty unreal.”
Jason’s brother, Travis, has had the chance to meeting Nicks before thanks to his pop megastar girlfriend Taylor Swift. When Travis asked, “Isn’t she just the best in person too?”, Jason concurred and said Nicks was “one of the nicest people I’ve ever talked to.”
Nicks’ duet with Jason is for his upcoming album A Philly Special Christmas Party, which is actually his third holiday release. Earlier this month, the New Heights Instagram account shared a photo of Jason with Nicks, and it was captioned, “The crossover we didn’t know we needed. Coming soon to a Christmas album near you.”
This unique pairing likely happened thanks to Swift, who is close friends with Nicks. On a previous episode of New Heights, Travis mentioned meeting Nicks and told his brother at that time, “You might be the only one in the family that hasn’t met her yet. Mom got to meet her down in Florida … and she is, I mean, every bit as what everyone makes her out to be.”
A Philly Special Christmas Party will be released on November 29.
