CHERRY MISTMAS
Hope all is well, and that your relatives aren’t giving you too much grief.
There are obvious songs that are ‘christmassy’. You’ve got your Santa related shit like Santa Claus Is Coming To Town and Jingle Bells and whatnot… Then there’s always the more modern trashy pop songs Jingle Bell Rock (which I do admit is kinda catchy) and All I Want For Christmas Is You (ugh)
Then of-course you have your more traditional religious carols… Silent Night, Away in a Manger… Ave Maria.
But then there are songs that are ‘christmassy’ without referencing presents, santa, or some super-baby demi-god being born in a dumpy farm shack.
Today I’m posting a track by Mocky called Hymne and it’s one of those christmassy feeling songs, but not necessarily cemented forever within the latter half of December by cheesy lyrics. It takes real talent to come up with something that can capture a feeling like ‘christmassy’ with choral vocals and piano. It’s a neat piece.
