All language subtitles for Christmas Stars (2019)_eng

Sinking deeper and deeper

I won't stop

To come up for air

You've made me a believer

Welcome, welcome to the
Lighthouse Cabaret, everybody.

For those of you who don't know,

this is our first holiday
happy hour of the season,

and you all know how we love
Christmas around here, right?

We love Christmas. Woo!

Okay. Now, remember,
holiday happy hour is open mic,

but Christmas music only.

Sorry, Scrooges. I see you.

Okay. Now, anybody who wants to
get up here and sing,

sign up with me at the back,

and let's kick off
this holiday season

with some
serious Christmas cheer.

Woo!

Okay. There you go.

Can I get you anything, babe?

Peppermint tea would be great.

Sure.

I got my head in the clouds

All my sins

Follow after me

And it just ain't
working anymore

That's just the way...

Wow.

There you go. Okay, everybody.
Warm up your vocals.

Show is about to start.

There you go.

Thank you.

My, my, my.

That is a sweet piece
of Christmas candy.

Mom, please.

You are due for some ho‐ho‐ho.

Gross, Mom!

What? You don't think he's cute?

There's nothing wrong with
admiring a handsome face.

You think I ignored
David Lee Roth

when he performed here?

David Lee Roth? Really?

Mm‐hmm.

What did Dad say?

Well, I could window‐shop
all day long.

Just no buying the goods.

Wow.

Oh, I miss that man.

Me, too.

You, now?
That's a different story.

You could buy anything.

Mom, dating is not like
going to the farmer's market.

Sure it is.

You sample the peaches,
you tap a few melons,

you bring it home and you
make a meal of it.

Mom, I am not
sampling his peaches.

You're right.
He's no David Lee Roth.

Are you kidding me?

He makes David Lee Roth
look like peach cobbler.

Oh. So, you do find him
attractive?

I'm not blind. He's totally hot.

Good. She'll be
right with you, sir.

Thank you.

Hey. Hi.

You didn't‐‐

Oh, no, no, no.
I definitely heard nothing.

Okay. Good. Okay.

Well, uh, welcome to
the Lighthouse.

Would you like to sing?

How did you know I was a singer?

The guitar.

Oh, right.

Yes, please. Sign me up.
Spence Parker.

Spence Parker.

And you're Layla Bryce, right?

You sang "Two of a Kind."

Yes, I did.

You a big fan
of one‐hit wonders?

Oh, my gosh.
I'm a big fan of great music.

Big fan of the Lighthouse.

Some of the best songs
were born here,

including "Two of a Kind."

We've been lucky.

Ah, no.
Luck has nothing to do with it.

All the greats,
from jazz to rock 'n' roll,

have played here.

It's like walking on
sacred ground.

Well, we have discovered

some greats.

Okay. Well, you're signed up.
The show is about to start, so‐‐

My grandfather and I,
we used to watch bootleg copies

of the Noisy Night
Christmas shows.

God. I remember when you sang on
that same stage with your dad.

You closed the show
with "Silent Night" every year.

We don't do that show anymore.

Some things are better left
in the past.

Are you going to sing tonight?

No.

Oh.

On the house.

Oh. Thanks.

Layla: Welcome, everybody.

Our first two performers
this evening

are two lovely ladies.

So, Layla doesn't sing?

Oh, yeah. Sure she does.

She sings in the shower.
She sings in the car.

She sings almost everywhere
except here.

Layla hasn't stepped onstage
since her father passed away.

It'd take a Christmas miracle
to get her to sing again.

I'm sorry. That's too bad.

Well, she's made her peace
with her father passing.

Sandy. Sandy Bryce.

It's an honor to meet
such a talented lyricist.

Ah.

Oh, wow. Those songs
you wrote with your husband?

Classics.

You know your history.

Now, I think it's about time
you sang your classics,

rock star.

Yes, ma'am.

Cheers. Thanks for the drink.

Great to meet you.

You, too.

Layla: All right, everybody.

Somebody awake here? Let's
give it up for these ladies.

Nicely done. Great.

Okay.
Our next performer is a newbie,

but a long‐time fan
of the Lighthouse.

Everybody give a warm, festive
welcome to Spence Parker.

Woo!

Hey.

All right.

Hoo

God rest ye, merry gentlemen

Let nothing you dismay

Remember Christ our Savior

Was born on Christmas Day

To save us all
from Satan's power

When we were gone astray

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

Oh, star of wonder

Star of night

Star with royal

Beauty bright

Westward leading

Still proceeding

Guide us with thy perfect light

Oh‐oh

Mm‐hmm‐hmm‐hmm

Oh‐oh, mm‐hmm

Ooh‐ooh‐mm‐hmm

Thanks.

Star of wonder

Star of night

Star with royal beauty bright

Westward leading

Still proceeding

Guide us with thy perfect light

Don't stop on my account.

Uh, we're closed.

Can I help you with something?

Actually, I forgot
my lucky guitar pick.

Cool if I‐‐ Yeah, sure.

So, is that your secret?

Ha. You know, maybe so.

My grandfather gave it to me.
Christmas present.

Kind of makes me feel

like he's here with me,
you know?

Well, you certainly can sing.

Oh, I'm all right. Found it.

I think I play with
more passion than skill.

Well, I can spot talent
and you've got it.

Learn to take a compliment.
Rock stars are never humble.

Rock star? Yeah, no. Not quite.

It's pretty cool to hear
a real rock star singing.

You have a beautiful voice.
You should be on the stage.

It's Christmas music.
It's magic.

Everybody can sing it.

Oh.

Now who's not taking
the compliment?

Touché.

All right.

In the spirit of Christmas,

let's finish the song.

Oh, no. No way.

Come on, now. Harmonize with me.

Seriously.

I don't want to.
Look. I was just‐‐

Now, let's see. Where were we?

Oh, star of wonder

Star of night

Star with royal beauty bright

Westward leading
still proceeding

Guide us to

Thy perfect light

There you go.

Hey, you know, for the record,

you're not a one‐hit wonder.

You're just a wonder.

You know something that
I've learned from working here?

How to spot a real musician.

You're great.

And with some showmanship,
you could make it.

Oh, thanks.

Hey. Tuesday night,
you should come by.

The A&R reps,
they hang out here.

I think it makes them
feel nostalgic, you know?

Trying to catch some real talent

at a live show
instead of YouTube.

You'd blow them away.

All right. See you Tuesday.

Tuesday.

Have a good night.

Good night.

You know, if you're
going to follow me,

at least
do it from across the street

like a real stalker.

Sorry.

I forgot my trench coat
and sunglasses in the car.

Right.

What are you doing out here?

Oh, just a fellow
Christmas‐lover.

My dad loved finding
the perfect Christmas tree.

He would always pick
the biggest one out on the lot.

I think it gave him
some kind of excuse

to buy more
Christmas decorations.

Well, why doesn't
the Lighthouse have one?

Yeah, it's just
one of those things.

Hard to pick one out
without Dad's expertise.

Where are you headed?

Same place you are.

Holiday happy hour.

A little early.

Well, I was hoping to
get some advice

on my performance
before it started.

From one of our regulars?

I'm not sure
you want their advice.

They love Mom's
mistletoe martinis, a lot.

They'll probably try
to pass you through

to Hollywood
or give you a four‐chair turn.

No. Uh, from you.

What? No.

I'm serious.

You have the experience
that I don't.

Oh, no, no, no.
You don't want my experience.

Aim a little higher.

Enough with
the self‐deprecation.

It doesn't suit you.

Oh, really? What does?

Well, that coat, for one.

And besides
your obvious wealth of talent,

your family runs

one of New York's
most iconic music clubs.

Music is a part of you.

Okay, but my work at
the Lighthouse comes first.

Of course. Yeah.

Whenever you have time.

You know what?
Hey, I'll even help out.

Careful saying that.

Mom will have you
stacking glasses all night

if she hears you.

It would be an honor.

Layla: A couple more shifts
for Friday.

And where would you
like these, Ms. Bryce?

Oh, please call me Sandy.

Just behind the bar,
darling. Thanks.

Great.

Mom‐‐ What?

Hey. Are you ready
for those lessons?

Oh, absolutely.

I'll just grab a guitar.

It's not what you think.

Oh, sure. It never is.
Go ahead, coach.

Okay.

I used to imagine singing
on this stage as a kid,

and it's just crazy: here I am!

Did you really watch bootlegs
of our shows?

I didn't even know they existed.

Uh, yeah. They were hot items.

Grandpa used to buy them
from the gas station.

Really?

You would not believe
the stuff you can get

at a west Texas gas station.

I can't imagine the sound
quality.

Good enough to inspire
a kid to pick up a guitar.

That was Dad's mission.

He wanted every kid to play
or sing the song in their heart.

And what song is in your heart?

Well, if I knew that,
I wouldn't be here.

Okay.

Want to get started?

That's right.

Okay. So, the easiest way
to get rid of nerves

is to do deep breathing.

Breathing?

Mm‐hmm.

I'm pretty good
at that, I think.

Deep breathing is different.

So, bear with me, okay?

Put your hand on my ribcage.

And on my stomach.
Breathe in and out.

That's excellent.

Thank you.

So, you let the air expand
your ribs out,

and then it goes all the way
to the base of your stomach.

Think you can do that?
It'll help project your voice.

Go ahead. Give it a try.

I'll try.

You can close your eyes
if you need to visualize.

Okay. Give it a go.

This looks weird, doesn't it?

Mm‐mmm. No.

Nobody's watching. Keep going.

You're doing good, Spence.

Who taught you this?

Ella Fitzgerald.

What? Really?

Mm‐hmm.

Okay. Now, use that air
to radiate your voice

from the pit of your stomach.

I got this. I'm breathing.

Good. And remember, Spence,

eye contact with your audience.

It connects them to you
and to your song.

Don't I do that already?

No. Almost never.

Ever, really.

Okay. Eye contact.

Eye contact. Okay.

Can I try one?

There you go. Give it a shot.

A little bit of you
a little bit of me

A mistletoe kiss
by the Christmas tree

Let's take a little ride
on a holiday sleigh

Jingle all the way

Dashing through the snow
in a one‐horse open sleigh

O'er the fields we go

Your father sang that song the
first night I saw him perform.

And we made beautiful music
from that moment on.

You did.

Destiny has a way of bringing
people together at Christmas.

Jingle bells, jingle bells
jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride
in a one‐horse open sleigh

Oh‐whoa‐oh‐oh

Oh‐whoa‐oa‐oh‐oh

Whoa‐oa oh‐oh‐oh

Whoa‐oa oh‐oh‐oh

Whoa‐oa oh‐oh‐oh

Whoa‐oa oh‐oh‐oh

Jingle bells, jingle bells
jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one‐horse open sleigh

Jingle bells, jingle bells
jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one‐horse open

A little bit of you
a little bit of me

A mistletoe kiss
by the Christmas tree

Let's take a little ride
on a holiday sleigh

Jingle all the way

Hot one, sir?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely.
Thank you.

Want some chestnuts, buddy?

Spence Parker.

Yeah.

Have we met?

Sort of. Nate Groves.

I run the mixing board
at the Lighthouse.

Oh, that's right.
I thought I recognized you.

Yeah. I also have
the YouTube channel

Music Obsessed,
about the New York music scene.

But primarily the Lighthouse.

I'm sort of
the unofficial historian.

Dude, you're incredible.

It's like stepping back in time

when Bob Dylan and Neil Young
played Noisy Night.

Oh, wow. Thanks, man.
I remember it well.

It's one of my favorite shows.

Every year I beg Layla
to revive the Christmas show.

She won't.

Thinks she can't live up to
her dad's legacy.

But with a talent like yours,

maybe she'll be more open
to the idea.

Keep up the Lighthouse tradition
of breaking new talent.

Yeah. According to Sandy,
it's going to take a miracle,

not a singer, though.

Maybe the miracle is the singer.

Oh, believe me, man.
I'm nobody's miracle.

Well, 'tis the season.

Christmas
is only three weeks away

and the stage is set for it.

Except for the tree.

Right. Exactly, man.

True fan, for real.

Nate, do you know of
any lots nearby?

Uh, yeah.
We call it the Alicia Trees.

Come on. Let's check it out.

What?

It's here.

You got a tree?

Yep.

And I ran into Nate,
your unofficial historian.

Great.

Anyway, we got to
reminiscing about

how beautiful the Christmas tree
used to be on Noisy Night.

So, I figured with everything
you've been doing for me,

it's the least
I could do for you.

What do you say we put it
onstage, like before?

Let me give you a hand.

Careful.

So, we can keep the tree,

but I don't know about
the stage, okay?

I don't want to give
the impression

that the show is coming back.

Nobody puts this baby
in a corner.

Come on! Let's put it onstage.

We'll see how it looks.

You can't have
that much stage fright

that you'll decorate
the tree from the floor.

I don't have stage fright.

I talk in front of
a crowd every night.

Just not sing.

Have you ever forgotten
the words of a song

you know in your sleep in front
of millions of people?

Millions?

It was a live TV special,

and all I had to do
was sing "Silent Night,"

something I'd sung
since I was four years old.

It was the first time
I sang without my dad,

and I don't know,
my mind just went blank.

Anyway, I let a lot more people
than myself down that night,

and I'm never going to do it
again.

Yeah, but a talent like yours
shouldn't be wasted on fear.

Believe me, you're
letting a lot more people down

by not sharing your gift.
Music brings people together.

Deck the halls
with boughs of holly

Fa‐la‐la‐la‐la la‐la‐la‐la

Wait. It's tangled up.

'Tis the season to be jolly

Fa‐la‐la‐la‐la la‐la‐la‐la

Fa‐la‐la‐la‐la la‐la‐la‐la

That was rough.

Oh, my goodness.

What?

Christmas must have real magic.

You are singing onstage.

That's not the same thing,
and you tricked me.

No, no, no. That was all you.

You turned your mind off,
followed your heart,

and you landed onstage.

Ah, well, that is
never going to happen

in front of an audience.

Well, you should.

Less talking, more decorating.

Oh, man.
Gramps would have flipped

if he had seen me on this stage.

You know, when he passed,

he left me an inheritance

with a note that said,

"Keep singing
your songs, Spence,

and shoot for the stars."

I'll miss performing here.

What do you mean?

Well, it's just that
it's my last shot.

Everybody says that.

Don't put so much pressure
on yourself.

No, it is.

The inheritance is almost out.

Most of the gigs I'm able to get

don't even cover New York rent.

So, unless I get
a Christmas miracle,

I'm going back to Texas
to work on

my uncle's ranch
in the New Year.

You know what?
You need to be positive.

Those A&R guys
are gonna love you.

Do you write your own songs?

I have notebooks full of them,
but they're not any good.

Play one for me.

Uh, no.

Yes, please.

I put a tree up
for you. One song.

One. Just one.

Okay.

'Cause it's a Christmas song.

'Cause it's a Christmas song?
I love it. That's perfect.

All right.

I still haven't found
the inspiration

for the bridge yet.

It still needs some work.

I bet it's great.

This is one called
"All I Really Wanted."

Woke up this morning

I was alone

Might've been lonely

So far from home

I wasn't sorry

No, I wasn't sad

I didn't long for

What I already had

I don't need a Christmas tree

The best thing you could give
to me

Is the moment you walk into view

It sure feels like Christmas

When your one wish comes through

All I really wanted

Was you

Your voice is beautiful.

I mean, the song is beautiful.

Do you think I could sing it
with you?

Really?

Yeah. I mean,
I'm really rusty, but‐‐

It would be an honor.

I'll give you a lead‐in.

Okay. Here we go.

I don't need a Christmas tree

The best thing
you could give to me

Is the moment you walk into view

It sure feels like Christmas

When your one wish comes through

All I really wanted was you

Yes. That was amazing.

It was all your song.

Are you kidding me?
You just owned that.

It's our song.

We should do that for
the A&R guys on Tuesday.

Oh, I don't think so.

Come on. We really
have something here.

I had my shot.
This is all about you.

They'll probably want
a cover, anyway.

Well, sing the cover, then.

But sing one of your
original songs. Promise me that.

Oh.

And your eyes open next time.

It'll work. I promise.

Hey, everybody. Welcome to
the Lighthouse Cabaret.

Here tonight,
we have some great performers,

so I know you're going to enjoy
the show.

So, let's share the
Christmas cheer with each other.

The show is going to start
in a few minutes.

You ready?

Those guys didn't even
pay attention to you.

What makes you think
they'll even listen to me?

Trust me, they will.
Come on. Jason?

Hey.

Hey.

Guys, the queen is here.

Layla, you are looking
as beautiful as ever.

Thank you.

Allow me to introduce
a special new talent.

Spence Parker.

How you doing?

You must be talented

if you're getting a personal
introduction from Layla.

Well, I'm just watching out
for you.

I don't want you to miss out
the next big talent

because you're too busy
watching fantasy football.

As feisty as ever.

Not that you'll ever get
a second chance.

She loves to break my heart.
She is the one that got away.

Okay. Well,

if you're actually going to
do your job tonight

and scout new talent,
may I recommend that you listen

to Spence's new
original Christmas song?

All right, babe. Yeah.
Just because it's Christmas.

Good. Drinks are on the house.
Because it's Christmas.

Layla: Okay, okay.

Here at the Lighthouse Cabaret,

we have a reputation
for discovering new talent.

Our next act

is going to perform
an original Christmas song

of his own, which, believe me,
will be a big hit next year.

Isn't that right, Jason?

Whatever you say, Layla.

Okay. Everybody give it up
for Spence Parker.

Spence: Yeah.

This is, uh,
kind of personal to me.

It's called
"All I Really Wanted."

Woke up this morning

I was alone

Might've been lonely

So far from home

I wasn't sorry

It's going to be my fault
if he bombs.

I pushed him too hard.
He wasn't ready, Mom.

Honey, you got to save
that good man.

What I already had

I don't need a Christmas tree

The best thing
you could give to me

Is the moment you walk into view

It sure feels like Christmas

When your one wish comes through

All I really wanted

Was you

Welcome home.

No way.

It isn't the candles

That give me the glow

It isn't the hearth light
that brightens me so

It's something that flickers

In somebody's eyes

You know when you see it

And feel the surprise

I've missed it
for the longest while

But every time I see you smile

I remember what I always knew

That it sure feels like
Christmas

When your one wish comes through

All I really wanted

Was you

All I really wanted

Was you

Yeah! Woo!

Oh, my God.
Did that just happen?

You just saved me!
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I was just filling in
the gaps, you know?

That was your moment,
and you were incredible.

What are you talking about?
We. We.

It's our song.

Whoa‐ho‐ho!

That was incredible.

You two. You two.

And you have still got it.

I mean, I'm telling her,
I think we sound great together.

You do, and that is why
the two of you

have to play at my label's
Christmas showcase.

What?

Uh, great. When?

No, no, no.
Spence, this is your moment,

and I am not going to hitch
my star to his wagon. I'm not.

What are you talking about?

No. It's his song.

I just sang harmony,
like a backup singer.

Are you kidding?
That was a duet.

There was nothing
"backup" about it.

You heard him yourself:
you two have got something.

All right?

Besides, everyone loves
a comeback.

Well‐‐

I'm in. We're in.

Good. Same time, next week.

I'm going to text you the info.

All right? This, right here,

this could change things.

Next week.

Man, this is crazy, right?
This is completely insane.

We should rehearse a set.

I couldn't even
get on the stage.

Oh, Layla, Layla, Layla.
Life is a stage.

Let's just do this.

Let's just work on
the harmonizing, okay?

We don't need a stage for that.
Can we do that?

All right.

Let's go some place out of town.
We'll get out of town.

What?

Some place special.

What place could possibly be
more special than New York City?

Ha‐ha. We'll see.

I thought we were supposed to be
practicing our set.

Well, practicing
isn't always about singing.

Sometimes you just got to
get in the right headspace.

And how do we do that?

Look up.

The stars.

Hmm. Wow.

Gosh. It just makes you realize
that everything down here,

all the stuff down here,

it's small stuff.

Well, it's breathtaking.

These are the best seats
in the house.

Oh, gosh. I'm sorry.

It's okay.

It's cold out.

But I have come prepared.

Oh.

Never fear. Blanket is here.

That's so nice.

Thank you.

You good?

Uh‐huh. I am.

All right.

Okay. So, what's that

big, bright, blue one up there?

You see it?

What, right there? Yeah.

Vega. Yeah, yeah.

And if you look just below,

you'll see four stars.
Can you see them?

Like, they make, like,

a lopsided box.

Oh, yeah. I see it.

That's the constellation Lyra.

Mm‐hmm?

And it represents
Orpheus's famous harp.

He was a musician?

Oh, he was the best.

They say he made
the kind of music

that could soothe anger

and bring joy
to the weary heart.

Hmm.

Definitely need that these days.

I love that about music.

You know, we always hoped that

the Lighthouse
would be like a beacon

that would
bring people together.

You know?

When you were a kid

singing "Silent Night"

on that stage,
there was a kid right here

from Texas,

with his grandpa,

listening and loving every note.

Hard to believe how far
one stage can take you.

The possibilities are endless.

So, is Texas home?

Not really.

I mean, I'd spend summers
and holidays

on Gramps' ranch.

But I grew up an army brat.

Oh.

Moved around a lot.

So, never really had a place

to feel like home
except onstage.

I know what you mean.
I grew up on the stage.

Singing with you made me realize
how much I miss it.

Well, sounds like
that fear is fading.

Maybe your stars are working.

Ha‐ha. Always do.

Just got to remember
the bright ones.

Keep them with you

and you'll never go wrong.

And speaking of
never going wrong,

head on over here
'cause this is where it's at.

Cocoa.

That's nice.

Can we get two, please?

All right.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Oh, yeah.

Wow. Would you like some cocoa
with those marshmallows?

Uh, excuse me?

I'll have you know that
I embrace the sweetness of life.

And what better time
than on Christmas?

Don't you judge.

I don't judge.
I like your style.

Cheers.

Hey, I was going to ask you.

Like, do we really have
a shot at this?

It seems like we do.

Jason digs it.

Mm‐hmm.

He definitely digs you.

We dated for about a minute.

He played in a band
at the Lighthouse.

You mind me asking you
what happened?

Jason really likes
attention from the ladies.

It was a drama from the get‐go.

I'm glad that I didn't get my
heart too involved, you know?

We just remained friends.

And he works at
the record label now.

Yeah, which makes him worse,
I'm sure.

You see, this industry
is fueled by egos

and temptations.

Sometimes it's hard to
find authenticity,

let alone maintain it.

You know, that money/fame thing

honestly really
doesn't do anything for me.

I just want to sing something
that inspires a kid

to pick up a guitar,
or a couple to dance,

or a girl to fall in love.

Hmm.

Well, maybe I can help you
with that.

Oh, my gosh. I just got it.

I don't know why I didn't think
of this before.

I got the perfect place
for us to rehearse.

What?

Will you just trust me?

Uh, this is too public.

This is perfect.

Come on.

Remember, it's going to be fun.

It'll be perfect, because‐‐

Why?

It's New York City.

Exactly. It's New York City.

New York City,

therefore no one will
be paying attention.

Ah. I don't know.

Hey. Hmm?

It's Christmas music.

Everybody loves Christmas music.

You're crazy.

See? Nobody paid attention.

Okay.

Hey, remember. What?

Eye contact, and
breathe from your gut.

Oh, wow. Wow.

You ready?

I think I got this. Yep.

Come on

New York!

Deck the halls

With boughs of holly

Fa‐la‐la‐la‐la la‐la‐la‐la

'Tis the season to be jolly

Fa‐la‐la‐la‐la la‐la‐la‐la

Don we now our gay apparel

Fa‐la‐la la‐la‐la la‐la‐la

Troll the ancient Yuletide carol

Fa‐la‐la‐la‐la la‐la‐la‐la

Hoo

I love New York City!

Ah, that's the magic of
Christmas music right there.

Even New Yorkers can't resist.

Thanks, guys.

Spence, you need to do
your original song.

No. No, no, no.

Yes. Everybody, this man wrote

an original Christmas song,

and you are going to love it.

So, he's going to do it for you.

Um, not...

Ready? It's Christmas music.
Everybody loves it.

Didn't somebody say that
the whole world is a stage?

We just need to
embrace it. Come on.

Okay, folks. Um,

this is an original song,
but please keep in mind

that Santa will put you
all on the naughty list

if you boo.

All right. You got this.

Woke up this morning

I was alone

Might've been lonely

So far from home

I wasn't sorry

No, I wasn't sad

I didn't long for

What I already had

I don't need a Christmas tree

The best thing
you could give to me

Is the moment you walk into view

It sure feels like Christmas

When your one wish comes through

All I really wanted was you

It isn't the candles

That give me the glow

It isn't the hearth light
that brightens me so

It's something that flickers

In somebody's eyes

You know when you see it

And feel the surprise

I've missed it
for the longest while

But every time I see you smile

I remember what I always knew

That it sure feels like
Christmas

When your one wish comes through

All I really wanted

Was you

Oh, all I really wanted

Was you

See?

Spence Parker, everybody.

Layla Bryce. Merry Christmas.

I just want a Merry Christmas

Wow.

Hey, Spence?
You got to see this. Come on.

Hey.

You got to check this out.

Jason:
You got over a million hits.

Really? Really.

You ready for the better news?

Forget the showcase.

How is that better?

Jim Penning, senior VP,
has seen your video

and wants you two
to meet the team.

They love it.

No way! Yes way.

We are going to
get you that comeback.

Oh! It's happening.
You were right. You were right.

I feel a little numb.
Is this normal?

It is normal. Yes.

That is perfect. Keep that.

What?

All that fake romance stuff.

But it's a love song,

so a little something
will help sell it.

It's all a show, right?

Right. Absolutely.

What's a show?

Don't play coy, Mom.
I know you heard us.

Ah! Congratulations, you two.
This calls for a toast.

I will have
to take a rain check.

This guy's got to work.

Thanks again, Jason.

I'll see you out. Yeah.

Don't worry about him.

Worry? No.

At Christmas,
anything is possible.

To Christmas.

To Christmas and beyond.

Is that who I think it is?

I think so.

Oh, I knew it.
I'm under‐dressed.

You look great.

Maybe I should have worn
the bow tie or something.

Not unless you wanted
to look like a huge nerd.

Well, I'm no David Lee Roth.

I knew you heard that!

Well, seriously,
you look amazing.

I could run around
in my underwear right now

and no one would notice.

Well,
maybe if you wore a bow tie.

Hey.

Hi.

It's a great day.
You guys ready?

Absolutely.

They are waiting
for you. Show time.

Okay. All right.

When your one wish comes through

All I really wanted

Was you

I thought Jason said
they loved it.

Don't worry.

Executives always act this way.

I love this.

Layla, you are classic
girl‐next‐door,

and Spence, you are everything

that rock 'n' roll
has been missing.

Hmm.

Thank you.

I mean, it was so quiet in here

I thought maybe we were in
the wrong office.

Oh, no.
We love your energy together.

Layla's polished performance

perfectly offsets
that wild intensity.

We'll need to amp up
their images for live shows.

Definitely. Get her
a more upscale image.

Right now,

she's treading
middle‐class fancy.

I didn't realize
it was a black‐tie affair.

I will have Jeeves
set aside my jewels

the next time we have a meeting.
Sound good?

Layla?

Yeah?

This is no joke.
We can bring you back.

I didn't realize I was dead.

Well, you are, and it's
nobody's fault but your own.

You walked away.

Spence: Look. I don't think
it's necessary to bring that‐‐

It's okay. I didn't walk; I ran.

Because the truth is,

great music
is going to break your heart.

Yes, but that's
why people love it,

so they don't have
to feel alone.

Mm‐hmm.

OK. Well, I'm not going to wear
a belly chain or dye my hair.

This isn't how it's
going to work this time.

Belly ch‐‐

No. So 2002.

Yeah. I don't like
belly chains, either.

Oh. Oh, don't worry. We're
not going to touch you.

You're like James Dean
for the modern age.

Mm. Jeans and T‐shirts.

Women are going to
be all over you.

Jennifer: Oh, yeah.

Welcome to the music industry.

Now, we still want the you two
to attend our Christmas concert,

meet the rest of the
team, the other artists.

Great. We'll be there.

Cool. Do you have a vocal coach?

Layla's been helping me
out. It's been great.

Jason, set up a vocal coach
for those two in the new year.

And a stylist for Layla.
Yeah, yeah. yeah.

We'd like to record an EP
before the new year.

Jason, if you can book
some studio time...

Mm‐hmm. And some live gigs.

Mm. The Lighthouse?

Meredith: Perfect.
And maybe go to...

Dare I say New Jersey?

Yes! He's got that
whole blue collar vibe.

He's like Springsteen 2.0.

Yes, yes, yes.

Can I just say that Layla
is the experienced one?

"Two of a Kind" still
gets radio play.

That's what I dream about.

He's right.

The comeback kid.

A living piece of
rock and roll history.

You know, Layla, the public

is going to embrace
your resurgence.

You should do the same.

Congratulations, you guys.

Wow. Man.

I will be in touch
about contracts.

Yeah. You feeling it?

Yeah. Feeling it.

I think so.
You two are jingling my bells.

Alright. I got to run.
I'll be in touch.

Um, I think we're
recording an EP together.

I know. Contracts? What?

You were right. You
were right. Yeah.

Oh, my gosh. My family

is going to flip. Of course.

Well, probably
not my uncle, though.

He was hoping for
an extra ranch hand.

Oh, that's the best part.

You don't have to go
back to Texas now.

That's the best part?

Well, no. I mean, the best part
is all the rich ball gowns

and fancy people
things I get to wear.

They were pretty
brutal, weren't they?

Uh, middle‐class fancy?
No, I've heard worse.

The trick is to hear
what they to say

and stay true to yourself.

Well, who cares about them? I
think you always look beautiful.

Thank you.

Ah, seeing that smile. You're
finding that sweetness!

I guess. Feels good, doesn't it?

No. You were destined for this.

I been dreaming of this
moment all my life,

and I'm going to be honest.

It's so much better
because it's with you.

I really think we're
going to rock this this.

Yeah. You know what?

I hate to admit it, but I'm
actually looking forward

to getting back on
the stage again.

I think we should celebrate.

Uh, I think‐‐ Yeah?

‐‐that is what
I'm talking about.

OK. I know the
perfect place. Come.

Place. Here we go.

Woman: Here you are. Enjoy.

Wow!

This is a marshmallow
macaroon Christmas tree.

They're famous for it.

I figured if anybody
could take down

a marshmallow Christmas tree
in the size of Manhattan,

you could do it.

Oh, really? Uh‐huh.

Well, you're probably right.

Alright.

To the sweetness of life.

Cheers.

Wow.

Oh. It's good, right?

It's, uh‐‐ it's
good and dangerous.

How are you feeling... about the
label wanting us to do shows?

Not as anxious as
I thought, you know.

But I think that's because
we get to host a few of them

at the Lighthouse, so...

Spence: Home field advantage.

Exactly.

So then why not do the Noisy
Night on Christmas Eve?

I mean, nothing too big.

But I'm just saying, the stage
does already have the tree.

It's‐‐ it's not that
I don't love Noisy Night.

It's...

You know, people are
requesting it all the time.

It's‐‐ it's a
favorite. It's just...

Just what?

My dad was a dynamic host.

His charisma was off the charts.

I get it. But you
co‐hosted with him.

And you're great
at Holiday Happy Hour.

I know. It's‐‐ it's not the
same, but you don't understand.

The first time that I
went onstage without him,

I... I went mute.

I forgot the words to a song
that I had sung my entire life,

and that kind of humiliation...

it doesn't leave you.

Yeah, but you can sing.

Everybody knows that.

No one's going to
hold it against you

if you forget a lyric or two.

It's not about the song.

A lot of people can sing.

But a star...

a star knows how to perform.

Stars know how to shine.

And whether you see it or
not or you believe it or not,

I'm telling you,

you shine.

So, the label shows,

I'm assuming you've
been to a few of them.

Yeah, a few dozen.

They have dancing?

Yeah, most of them. Why?

Well, ma'am, if
you like my singing,

you're going to love my dancing.

Really? Oh, really.

Shall I show you?

What? Here? Now?

Right here. No. Are you serious?

Come on! No. It's so public.

It's‐‐ There's nobody here!
Absolutely not.

Come on, my lady.
This is ridiculous.

You're not going to
stop, are you?

I'm not going to
stop until you do.

Just follow my lead.

At Christmastime in the city

Those precious memories we keep

Snow on the rooftops so pretty

And the children
can't get to sleep

Hanging out with the folks

Just laughing at their jokes

All the fun that we'll have

I saw this on White Christmas,

and I always wanted to try it.

So in the end

I'd much rather spend

The holidays at home

This was a great day.

I mean, I haven't
had this much fun since‐‐

Well, it's been a while.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Hey... did you lose someone?

Why do you ask?

It's just your song, "All I
Really Wanted Was You,"

it's a song about loss, right?

It was.

Who was it, if you
don't mind my asking?

Just a girl I pushed away
to focus on my career.

Thought I made a mistake.

Packed everything up,

followed her up
here to New York,

never left.

What happened?

Well, it turns out she
was never here.

She was in Philly,

started dating a professional
football player.

In Philly of all places.

Ah, but I realized it.

What did you realize?

Couldn't have possibly

been singing about her.

Then who?

I'll have to let you know

when I find her.

Well, I am glad that your
heart brought you here.

I mean, I really
value our friendship.

You know, it's‐‐ it's
been such a short time,

but when it's right,
it's‐‐ it's easy, you know?

Professionally speaking.

Yeah. Right. Professionally.

We're going to knock it
out of the park.

Absolutely.

These are golden nights

No more time to waste

Got to turn it right

Party till the day

These are golden nights

Opportunity awaits

Oh. Fancy, fancy.

It's all about the performance.

Wow.

Welcome, welcome.

Hey.

Here's my new act.
You look fabulous.

Thank you.

It's good to see you.
What do you think?

Pretty great, huh?
Oh, man. It's awesome.

It's really nice. Thank you
so much for the invite.

Yeah. Are you kidding?

You two are the only thing
the office is talking about.

So, what are you
going to sing for us?

A Christmas classic, maybe?

Uh, I was thinking

"Deck the Halls." Okay.

Great. Okay. I'm going to see
you in the wings, five minutes.

Cool.

Are you ready to
shoot for the stars?

Oh, absolutely.

Ah, Jason. Is our
Christmas duo ready?

Absolutely. They're
going to make

quite the impression tonight.

Excellent. What song
are they going to sing?

Uh, "Deck the Halls."

Too pedestrian. Um...

Okay.

Have them sing "Silent Night."

Well, what about some
other song?

Something, you know,
a little more up‐tempo?

"Silent Night." It's perfect.

Tell them.

Okay.

Jason: Hey.

Hey.

So, been a change of plans.

Jim would like you
to sing "Silent Night."

Jason‐‐

Jason: Look,
you're going to be fine.

But we're not going to
say no to the senior VP,

and you two are
going to be great.

You got this.

Hey. Hey.

It's going to be fine.
We'll going to be

up there together, okay?

Last time I sang
this song, my dad...

I‐‐ I understand.

Forget the Christmas
past, though.

Focus on the right now,

you and me, right here.

He's right! We got it!

Right. It's going to be great!

I can't.

I'm sorry. I can't. I just‐‐

Hey, it's alright.

Jason: How's everyone doing?

Is everyone having a good time?

Yeah!

Now singing the Christmas
classic "Silent Night,"

please give a warm
Tapscott welcome

to Spence and Layla!

Whoo!

Merry Christmas, everyone.

So, I have a funny story.

Earlier today,

my friend Layla and I
met Santa Claus.

True story. True story.

Uh, in fact, he asked us
what we wanted for Christmas.

Layla said she wanted
a record contract.

Well, that just happened
to be my wish as well,

so I had to think of
something quick on the spot.

That's lots of pressure, right?

So, my mind goes blank.

But then all of the sudden,

it hits me.

I blurt out, "I want
to sing 'Silent Night'"

for some of the most beautiful
people in New York City."

So, uh, Layla has reminded me

that both of our wishes

tonight have come true.

She also reminded me that, uh,
I can't let Santa down,

so she's graciously

given me the stage.

Uh, and by the way,
if I had known

Santa worked that fast,

I probably would have asked
for something better,

like world peace.

I guess the moral of
the story is,

be careful what you wish for,

because Christmas
wishes do come true.

Crowd: Aw.

Silent night

Holy night

All is calm

And all is bright

Round yon virgin

Mother and child

Holy infant

So tender

And mild

Sleep in

Heavenly peace

Sleep

In heavenly

Peace

Silent night

Silent night

Ooh‐ooh‐ooh

Ooh‐ooh‐ooh

Ooh‐ooh‐ooh

Ooh‐hoo‐hoo

Jason: Let's hear it for Spence!

Great job. Great job.

Thanks, man.

Spence.

Lot of love going around

It's in the air

Hanging decorations

Hey.

Alright. How'd I do? Honestly.

You were great.

Um, your storytelling
reminded me of Johnny Cash.

What? Really?

Yeah. Seriously. No.

Come on. Take the compliment.

You're a rock star now.

Well, I can tell you this: It's
going to be better next time,

because you're going
to be up there with me.

Right. Yeah. Sorry about that.

I just, um... It
was the song, and‐‐

No, no, no, no need to explain.

I'm thinking tomorrow,

we meet with Tapscott,
maybe sign some contracts,

and we'll just go from there.

Sure.

Hey, can you just promise
me that you're going

to play them some of your songs?

My Christmas wish

is to hear a Spence
original on the radio.

Oh, your Christmas wish, huh?

Yeah. Alright. I promise,

but I will have to run it by
Santa, since it is a wish.

I hope you're
on the "nice" list.

Are you on the "nice" list?

I don't know. Am I?

Let's grab a drink.

Excuse us.

Wow. This might take a minute.
Yeah.

Gosh. Um... Hmm.

You know what? Stay here.
I'll go find a waiter.

Oh. Okay. Thank you.

We signed a treasure.

Spence oozes charm.

Oh. He's in a
duo with Layla Bryce?

Yeah, but she abandoned him
on stage just now.

Seriously?

Woman: She probably
forgot the words.

Last time I saw her perform,

she ran off the stage.

I totally remember that.

She's going to tank his
career before it even starts.

Woman: Jason should replace her

once the deal is signed.

Spence deserves better.

Hey. Here you go.

Hey.

You okay?

Yeah. Never better.

Cheers. Cheers.

Wow.

Merry Christmas.

This still does not
feel real to me.

It's like any minute, I'm
going to wake up,

and it's all going to go away.

No, it's really happening.

You alright?

Yeah. I...

Just a little nervous.

Nervous? Yeah.

I figured this would
be easy for you,

you know, being
a solo act and all.

Yeah.

I can't imagine what
it would be like

to sign as a solo act here.

Layla: Maybe one day, you will.

Hey. Hey.

Jason. Good to see you.

Layla: Hi! Hello.

Hey, Jim. My man.

Layla: Jason. Hi.

Have a seat.

Alright.

Thank you guys for coming in.

Yeah.
We are really looking forward

to settling you in

as the next artists
for Tapscott Records.

Well, we're excited, also.

First thing.

We'd like to offer you
an advance on your first EP.

Just a sign of good faith.

Jason: We believe in your music.

And this will make
a lot of music. Wow.

I'm singing already.

Well, here's something
you can get started with.

Here are some songs we'd
like you to pick from

for your EP.

We were thinking six.

Let us know what‐‐ you
know, what speaks to you.

I, uh, I have some songs
for the EP as well.

Oh, uh, great.

Uh, which ones?

Well, they're not in here,
because I wrote them.

Wow. Well, we love that
you're a songwriter,

but for now, why don't we just
choose a few songs from the file

and maybe, as a bonus, we can
use one of your originals?

His songs are really good.

Spence is an
excellent songwriter,

one of the best I've heard.

In fact, it was
his original song

that got your attention
in the first place, right?

Jim: You really think
you're just as good

as this Grammy
Award‐winning songwriter?

I can guarantee you

that my songs are as good
as anything in there.

Better.

Alright.

Jason: Great. Alright.

Well, let's take a
look at the contracts.

Standard artists' agreement.

And we were thinking, you know,

instead of keeping your names,

why don't we go with
a new band name,

something‐‐ something
with a little pop?

Why do we need to do that?

Well, we just wanted
to keep our options open,

in case one of you moves
away from the label.

Yeah, but I don't...
see that as necessary.

People know us as
Spence and Layla, right?

Actually, it's non‐negotiable.

I mean, we're glad that Layla's
star power brought you to us,

but with what happened at
the Christmas party,

we can't risk it.

I was blind‐sided by that song.

Jim: It's not the first time.

Look, Layla, we‐‐ we
have faith in you.

We do.

Personally, I mean, I‐‐
I think it's a good idea.

New name, fresh start.

Well, if it's going to make
everybody more comfortable...

Jim: You know what?
Read it through.

You bring a signed copy back
to the office when you're ready

and when you have
some ideas for a band name.

Then we'll get you
into the studio.

Alright.

Jason: Sounds great?

Yeah.

Jim: Excellent.

Jason: Great.

Welcome aboard. Thanks.

Layla.

So, band names. Any
ideas for band names?

Hey, Spence?

Yeah?

I'm sorry. I‐‐
This isn't going to work.

I don't understand it, either,

but let's just play ball.
I mean, Jason's right.

It's a fresh new start.
No, no. This. Us.

I'm not signing.

What do you mean,
you're not signing?

You deserve this, okay? You're
the one they want, anyway,

and I‐‐ I am not going
to hold you back.

No, no, no, no. What
are you talking about?

You‐‐ you've coached me.

You gave me stage time.

Like, they're‐‐ they're
listening to my songs

because of you. We're a team.

I'm here because of you, Layla.

Exactly. I brought you to them,

but you don't need me anymore.

Everybody saw that
at the party last night.

Do you know what?
I‐‐ You can finally have

that fresh start that
you seem so keen on. I‐‐

Do you really think
I used you like that?

Honestly?

I am not going
to stand in your way,

and I'm not going
to stand on a stage,

waiting for you
to follow your heart

to somebody else that
can further your career.

I‐‐ I just‐‐
You don't believe that.

I know you don't believe that.

I don't care about
a fresh start, Layla.

I don't want a fresh start.

I want you.

You might want me,
but you don't need me.

You need to‐‐ you need

to embrace the
lights, okay, Spence?

Because they may
not find you twice.

What are you...

Layla.

Layla!

Sandy: Oh, you didn't beat me
again, did you?

Hey, guys.

Both: Hey!

Spence: Is Layla around?

What you got there?

Um, contracts
from Tapscott Records.

Dude!

Oh, man! Congrats!

Look, I knew when my
video blew up,

you two were going to be famous!

Sandy: Nate says the two of you

are the most requested
music on his show!

Spence: Wow.
That's‐‐ that's great, man.

Hey, Nate, you were a big
part of making this happen.

I owe you big time.

Nate: I've got
something in the works,

and I'm going
to hold you to that.

Well, deal. My man.

Sandy, have you seen her?

She hasn't come in yet.

You okay, honey?

Yeah. I‐‐ I just really
need to see her.

I'll tell her that
you came by, first thing.

Great. I'll just keep
trying her on her phone.

Sandy: First thing, I promise!

I'll have her phone you.

Sandy:
Sneaking through the back?

I'd assume the label
meeting didn't go well,

but Spence already came
around with the contracts.

I'm not signing.

Spence doesn't need me,
and neither does the label.

He doesn't see it that way.

Yeah, well, it's for the best.

You know, I just‐‐ I can't‐‐
I can't ruin his dreams.

I can't be
the one that does that.

Sandy: I don't think
he's here for the label.

Mom, I told you, we
are just friends.

Honey, you are
living in the past.

It's time to open your
heart to new possibilities.

New possibilities?

Mom, there are no
new possibilities for me.

I've been through all
of this, remember?

And it broke my
heart, and I won't‐‐

I can't‐‐ I will not...

be the thing that ruins
everything for him.

So you're doing this for him?

He'll thank me someday.

You're afraid to love again.

I'm afraid to sing again.

There's no difference
in this family.

Don't ever stop singing, babe.

I just can't do it, Mom.

Yes, you can. Yes, you can.

Hey, right there, bar 48.

That's right after
the second chorus.

I wanna work on that turnaround
going into the bridge.

Jason: Spence?

Hey. You, uh, you
signed those contracts?

I got a favor to ask, man.

Sure. Yeah. Julian,
give us a minute.

What's up?

Okay. So...

Layla really hasn't been
herself lately,

and I think it's the
party and the contracts.

It's stirring up
stuff from the past.

Yeah. I mean, I'm sure.

And‐‐ and listen. I'm
rooting for the two of you.

I am. I just‐‐ There's
only so much I do,

and Jim's got the final say.

I get it, man, and
I really appreciate it.

I‐‐ It's just, I‐‐
I finished the bridge

on "All I Really Wanted,"
and I was really hoping

to record it for her
as a Christmas present.

Wow. You're really taking
this romance angle

to a whole other level.

It's not an angle, man.

It never was.

At least, not for me.

Oh. Oh, it's, uh...

it's a real thing.

Your fans will love it.

It's for her first.

I... guess it's
my way of telling her

what she means to me.

Yeah?

And what's that?

She's my star.

Let me take a look.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, man.

Right there.

This is really good.

Really? Yeah.

Let me pull in a backup singer.

Oh, no. I can‐‐ I can do back‐‐

Just to add, like,
a little warmth,

a little richness. I mean,
it's a Christmas song.

And look, if you don't like it,

we can edit it out. It's easy.

Alright. Let's do this.

Hop on in the booth.
Come on, Julian.

Um, thanks, man.

Yeah. You got it.

I was alone

Might have been lonely

So far from home

I wasn't sorry

I wasn't sad

Jason Anders, please.

I didn't long for

Great.

What I already had

I don't need a Christmas tree

Best thing you could give to me

Is the moment you walk into view

Sure feels like Christmas

When your one wish comes through

All I really

Hey, Jason, I just came by
to give this to you...

Yeah. Thank you.

No. You know, it's‐‐ it's
fine. It's fine.

Layla. Layla, wait.

Hey.

Guys, can you give us a second?

Hey.

I'm really glad
you took my advice.

I mean, I didn't expect you
to take it so soon,

but I'm‐‐ I'm glad.

Layla‐‐
I‐‐ I'm glad. You know what?

Because I can't do this.

No, no, no, no. This isn't
what you think it is.

It‐‐ it's okay. It‐‐
it doesn't matter.

It's fine. You know, I‐‐ I
just wanted to see you succeed

and you didn't have to
go back to Texas.

And my life is at
the Lighthouse.

I've never belonged on a stage.

No, no, no. I don't
believe that for a second.

Your heart has never
left the stage.

It belongs up there.

Belongs up there with mine.

You're wrong. What‐‐ what are‐‐

Spence, you got to just let
this go. You got to let me go.

Hey. Would you‐‐
I mean, the edge‐‐

Wait a minute. No!

We don't want the same thing.

I'm sorry.

Layla, what‐‐

Come on.

Please. Layla!

Hey, man. Hey, man.

How you doing?

Good. Hey, thanks
for meeting me.

Oh, of course.

I love a good hang sesh.

Hey. Hey, hey.

A marshmallow
macaron tree, please.

Coming right up.

So? What's up?

Your message sounded urgent.

Man, I need a Christmas miracle.

And I thought that maybe
you could help me.

Nate: What's this?

Spence: That's an
exclusive song,

and you're the only one has it.

Can you just see that some...

that someone special hears that?

For me, man? Please?

I think I can manage that.

Look, if this is half as good
as what I've seen from you,

then you may be
my Christmas miracle.

This time next year,

you could be a star.

She's the star.

Just a guy looking up.

Hmm.

Peppermint tea.

Cup of cheer for Christmas Eve.

Thanks, Mom.

I have never met someone

so determined to
ignore the obvious.

What? No, honey.

Your fear is not
the label or the music.

It's a fear of falling.

Well, guess what?

It's too late.

Well, Spence doesn't
feel the same way,

so let's just not talk about it.

Everyone can see it.

I have seen what this industry
does to relationships,

and it always ends badly.

Yesterday was bad.

When love is true,

nothing can tear it apart,

not a record deal,

David Lee Roth,

or even death.

Merry Christmas!

Oh, man.

Nate:
Have you guys seen my show?

No. Sorry. Avoiding
the internet.

Ah. Lucky for you,
I brought this.

Nate, we love your show‐‐
I really would rather not.

‐‐but it's not the‐‐
You have to.

It's my Christmas wish.

See you smile

I remember what I always knew

Nate: Over a million
new subscribers,

just for this song.

Great. Good.

I‐‐ I am so happy for him.

I got a lot of work to do.

Hey, this is the best part!

What? Listen to the bridge.

I promised him you would.

All I really wanted was you

Oh, oh, oh

I never wanted the things

That I can never have

Just wanted something
that's true

Thought I might be too late

Waiting for the light
to break through

Then I met you

Uh, when‐‐ when did he
give this to you?

Last night, after Jason
recorded it for him.

He's probably at the label
right now, recording the EP.

He blew off the record deal.

No.

He wouldn't do it without you.

No, no, no, no, no.
I'm‐‐ I got to find him.

I'm going to fix this.

Nate: You better hurry!

Why? He's packing to go back

to Texas.

Okay, listen. I'm‐‐
I'm‐‐ I need some help.

I have an idea.

I'm‐‐ I'm going to need
both of you, okay?

I'll call you.

Ooh! Ooh.

Alright.

Hey. Um, I was in here the
other night with a guy.

Um, you haven't
seen him, have you?

No. Sorry.

Okay. Well, um, if you do,

could you‐‐ could you
give this to him?

Yeah.

Great. Thank you.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

No word from Spence?

Keeps going to voicemail.

Your hearts will end up

right where they're
supposed to be.

My heart's leaving
for Texas, Mom.

Well, let's just make this

the best Noisy Night

the Lighthouse Cabaret
has ever seen,

for your father.

He is beyond proud.

No more tears. Okay.

We have a party.

I love you, Mom.

And I love you, too.

Christmas snow falls

On our cold toes

And our loves grows

And this is home

Oh, yeah!

It is a Christmas miracle!

I can't believe
that I am co‐hosting

the Noisy Night Christmas show

live from the legendary
Lighthouse Cabaret

right here in the heart
of New York City!

That's right! I used to watch

this same show
on bootleg VHS tapes,

so thank you, Santa,
for the upgrades.

4K is okay.

Now, technology may change,

but the holiday
traditions do not.

For my viewers out there,
it is my great honor

to introduce to you

the owners of the
Lighthouse Cabaret,

Sandy and Layla Bryce!

Sandy: Here we go!

Thank you.

I am just so happy

to be able to give you
this Christmas surprise.

It is my honor to share
the joy with you once again.

Nate was right when
we spoke about traditions.

One of my favorite
memories as a little girl

was singing on this stage

with my dad.

He can't be
here with us tonight.

Um, so Daddy, this
one's for you.

Good luck, honey.

Okay.

Silent night

Holy night

All is calm

All is bright

Round yon virgin

Mother and child

Holy infant

So tender and mild

Sleep in

Heavenly peace

Sleep in heavenly

Peace

Sleep in

Heavenly peace

Whoo!

Way to go, girl!

Whoo! That's my girl!

Yay!

Layla: Thank you.

This next song has
special meaning for me.

It was written by the man
who taught me that...

love is like music.

The words may leave you,

but the song always remains.

It's called "All I
Really Wanted"

by Spence Parker.

Woke up this morning

I was alone

I might have been lonely

So far from home

I wasn't sorry

Go on. Get your butt up there.

I didn't long

For what I already had

I don't need a Christmas tree

The best thing you
could give to me

Is the moment you walk into view

It sure feels like Christmas

When your one wish comes through

All I really wanted was you

Come up and sing with me?

It isn't the candles

That give me the glow

It isn't the hearth light

That brightens me so

It's something that flickers

In somebody's eyes

You know when you see it

And feel the surprise

I've missed it
for the longest while

But every time I see you smile

I remember

What I always knew

That it sure feels
like Christmas

When your one wish comes through

All I really wanted was you

Oh, oh, oh

I never wanted the things

That I can never have

Just wanted something
that's true

Thought I might be too late

Waiting for the light
to break through

Then I met you

Memories and photographs

As long as I can make you laugh

There's nothing I
would rather do

Because it sure
feels like Christmas

When your one wish comes through

All I really wanted was you

Oh, all I really wanted

Was you

You're here.

I never left.

I'm sorry.

I thought I was doing
the right thing.

You can't give up on your dream.

I haven't.

I found another way to
shoot for the stars.

What? But it's not going to work

without you.

Hey, how about one more
Christmas surprise?

You want one more?

Ladies and gents,
allow me to introduce

the newest artists
on my digital label,

a subsidiary of
Tapscott Records...

Spence and Layla!

What? Nate, really?

Nate: If you say yes.

Thanks to you two
and the Lighthouse,

I've built a solid following.

Tapscott Records is going to
help me get it started.

Jason hooked it up!

With Nate's followers and
the label's resources,

we could do this. You two
could be unstoppable.

Nate: Technology changes,

but not traditions.

And I am committed to restoring
the heart of rock and roll!

So, what do you say, guys,
you ready for your future?

Layla?

Thank you. Thank you.

It's Christmas. Let's
get this party started.

Nate: Spence and Layla.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Mm, mm, mm, mm

Oh, star of wonder

Star of night

Star with royal beauty bright

Westward leading

Still proceeding

Guide us to thy perfect light

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Mm, mm, mm, mm
