"Xmas Sox" by B.Miles takes you into the speaker's shoes, or rather socks, setting the scene of an unexpected encounter with an ex. Its title is a stolen memento of the exes, and a bridge into the relationship's past. Get locked into the scene of catching the eye of an old flame at a music show before flashing back to the moment the relationship ended with the lyrics "under the burning blurring during the silent night it fell apart." The creative way the words work in this song embodies the chaotic physical and tangible experience of the breakup, allowing listeners to resonate with the whirlwind of emotion. Fall into beautiful and somber nostalgia through this reflective track.
This alternative pop song is beautifully composed with soft rock influences and a dreamy ambient sound of reflection. High vocals and entrancing, atmospheric guitar open this track with the instrumentals adopting a louder, more defined sound as the song continues on. B.Miles' voice is soft and breezily blissful in its sound, carrying the melody with expressive, breathy singing. Percussion and delves into electronic instrumentals build an atmospheric feeling in the pre-chorus. An electric guitar exploration of the chorus's melody closes the song, embodying the lyrics' feeling of seeing a show and it coming to an end.
