This song is so damn underrated... Tragic actually. Such a beautiful, poignant, emotional song. Not just a beautiful song, not just during Christmas but anywhere, anytime.

[@philbytaylor]

Never more relevant than in 2022 - but hope in my heart for 2023

[@philbytaylor]

And things are even worse now, but at least we know where some of the money went :(

[@andreajones2371]

Wow, how have I only just discovered this song?? Absolutely blew me away and already up there with my favourites, just stunning ❤

[@martinh8679]

I didn't know this existed either until i heard Dermot O Leary play it on Saturday. It's a wonderful piece of level headed Christmas music that moves you without the saccharine sentiment that prevails at this time of year. Needs more airplay!

[@65blueandy]

This is one of those rare things - a song that keeps getting better with every year that passes.

[@thijssven7774]

Leuk liedje😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛😛❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🍧

[@Paapaagirl]

true

[@sarahwidman2693]

I love this song and listen to it often, not just at Christmas.

[@806cat]

This is the most beautiful Christmas song and I get a lump in my throat every year I hear this again coming up to Christmas time. "The years go by so fast, let's hope the next beats the last" - let's keep hoping.

[@wendyvanthillo8996]

Also one of my favorite Christmas songs

[@davidnewman2009]

You don’t hear this much on the radio, same old Christmas tunes played over and over. This, whilst not overtly Christmassy is timeless and utterly brilliant. Hairs on your neck standing up good.

[@DavidNewman-bm2hn]

Spot on … just played it to my daughter and it does make the hairs on your neck stand up …

[@GrahamHarvey-g7x]

Simple , great song , Tom's a great singer

[@becksy9999]

Aye another year....still the best Christmas song ever.....

[@darronmould8762]

Does anyone else think this is so much more relevant for xmas 2020 than any other year?

[@purpleviolinsue]

Unfortunately it feels even more so in 2021... 😒

[@paoloc775]

Try Christmas 2022

[@darronmould8762]

Hope one day that it will be irrelevant

[@ddavies1967]

Every year that the criminals have been in power

[@wildevixen7753]

@@ddavies1967 Will they ever tell me where the money went? Next question. What it is to live in a corrupt country.

[@claraoswald_121]

The best Christmas song. Ever.

[@manhunter_net]

The only one that beats this is the full length version from the album! #Agreed.

[@luukepk]

safe! The song should have more attention!

[@CaptainOatwright]

Totally agree! I’ve just played it for first time this season 🥳

[@stephenvanbaalen]

Maybe one of the best Christmas song written this last decade. It's right up there with all the classics now. Absolutely brilliant!

[@petervandeweyer517]

Almost ten years old, and it becomes more and more relevant.

[@trebormint35]

This should definitely be number 1 at Christmas. It's the first decent Christmas record in years

[@jongowshall1737]

It's December - time to start playing the heck out of this beauty again.

[@georgebennett3197]

It's the 16th. November 2022 - I heard this song on the radio for the first time. How on earth have I missed it all these years? ?! It is fabulous. Even more relevant today - Why isn't it number One???

[@terryh9559]

I agree, it's always one to come back to each Christmas! But I can tell you of another good one, from December 2022. Its "This Christmas time" by Tide lines and Nati Dreddd.

[@grantnixon9945]

Couldn't agree more, I heard it for the 1st time in December what a beautiful song, it would be a fitting No1 even now.

[@VikingerOnYT]

Still such an amazing song...

[@anthonydayjr2339]

Merry Christmas 2020, lets hope next year beats the last!

[@Sootaroot]

It should not be difficult, but we shall soon see.

[@InTheToilet]

This didn’t age well

[@purpleviolinsue]

Sorry

[@DavidNewman-bm2hn]

Genius songwriting. One of the best Christmas songs of the last 20-30 yrs … never hear it on the radio though whilst countless crap covers get air time.. ..i love this song.

[@aryastark772]

Incredible song. So underrated

[@GeorgeLikesBananas]

Unlike every other Christmas songs, this really gives a sense of unity and joy. It conveys all the Christmas-y feelings and is so much better than all of the manufactured shit out there.

[@sky-frequency]

Tears in my eyes...I heard this song for the very first time last night on Night Tracks radio 3 thanks so Hannah Peel. Utterly mesmerising and astounding. I can't believe I've not heard it before, but so glad I finally have. So beautiful and resonates utterly with real life. Thank you two great musicians and writers; Smith and Burrows.

[@m665s]

Tom has the best man's voice ever. I have seen editors live, and I'll newer forget it :)

[@StephSteph-u1p]

Chanson magnifique qui me rappelle le bon vieux temps qui est parti et ne reviendra plus jamais....

[@nicholasmacfarlane4599]

It's a week before Christmas 2018, and the whole family are playing this on repeat!! Without a doubt one of the best Christmas songs ever. Great lyrics, excellent orchestration. I just don't understand why it doesn't get more plays on radio. It is such a change from the usual Christmas dross. If you come across this by chance, please recommend to friends and family. Finally Happy Christmas and a great New Year to everyone!!

[@haydonthomas5531]

Dermot O'Leary played it on his radio 2 show on Saturday. Totally agree with you.

[@terrynoonan6616]

You are a beautiful soul Nicholas,have a good one.

[@hectormugwump5530]

As somebody who spent a Christmas sleeping rough in London this song just completely caught me off guard. Thank god I was lucky enough for it to only be the one. I know people who are still there. Some who aren't anymore.

[@designerztouch]

I am not English but most of my favorites is British music .. I am not even Christian to celebrate Christmas.. But this song is so beautiful that it makes me hear it more & more and only gets better every time I hear it. Hope more songs come out like this in the future to unite the unfair world of evil politics. Merry Christmas in advance to everyone out there :)

[@ronaran8420]

Thank you friend. ✋😊

[@nigelrudyard6199]

This is one of my favourite Christmas songs, along with Andy's Light the Night. Like all great Christmas tunes, it's truly bittersweet.

[@seaniedunne5888]

This deserves millions of views. If there is a perfect Christmas song for 2020 its this.

[@ntleaver29]

More prevalent now than ever. Great song . Merry Christmas everyone 🎄👍

[@arnevoetbaltalentjes]

oh gosh, his voice is just heavenly..

[@leeputman2123]

Honestly one of the best Christmas songs ever - captures the spirit perfectly

[@luukepk]

True ! The song should have more attention!

[@mrhob6355]

Wished I'd sung and written a song about it . Must be the most cathartic of things .

[@becksy9999]

just beautiful.....best Christmas song....just beautiful....

[@MikeeeeG]

2020 brings me here early this year

[@mellowfire420]

It already sounds like a classic from the 20th century.How can it be more awesome?

[@GerardHesen]

A Christmas Evergreen! My favourite Christmas song ever!

[@CaptainOatwright]

I’m a big Editors fan and this classic has totally eluded me until now. How can it be?! So many good modern Christmas songs out there, would be nice if there was an alternative Christmas songs radio channel!

[@colinwhitelock8666]

Beautiful Christmas song that manages to be both poignant and uplifting at the same time (and so relevant to the current times). One of the very best!

[@Meg680]

will i ever stop loving Tom's voice? i don't think so. beautiful song.

[@Drobniutka]

Yesterday I walked through London with this song in my head.

[@paulbyrne9833]

1st December 2020, first listen of the year''god damn this government' indeed, beautiful and poignant song ❤️

[@Barca991]

Finest Christmas song of all time.

[@keatsgipsy9991]

🎶🎄🎶 May Christmas 🎄 Shine down on you everyone ... when there’s nothing left to say ❤️

[@WalterSobchak1000]

only heard this for the first time this morning. lost count how many times i've played it. what a beautiful track that's restored my xmas spirit

[@stephenvanbaalen]

And even though I hate the cold A constant reminder that I'm getting old... Best Xmas song ever!

[@eppsy67]

The best, most uplifting Christmas song ever. If you have hope in your heart you can do anything. Let's hope this year beats the last.

[@Margod141]

"And even though i hate the cold, a constant reminder that im getting old". I relate to these lyrics

[@Sootaroot]

Everyone will, if they are fortunate ("with luck, you too will grow old"), and yet I think of an interview with Mick Fleetwood and he was asked why he left Britain. I love Britain, he said, but I hate being cold.

[@stumurmer01]

This is my all time favourite Christmas song.....just beautiful :)

[@sigikidies]

I love this song...not only at Christmastime....but a whole year long...

[@flowerpowerbloempie]

My favourite Christmas music! I hope Tom and Andy will work together again in the future!

[@SilvioDiego]

amazing song and possibly more relevant this year then ever.

[@DJTee28]

This is my favourite Christmas song this year. No other song can win from this.

[@DerekLyons]

A brilliant song always and forever!

[@brokebackgio]

Everything Smith touches -or sings- it's pure gold! One of the best Christmas songs ever and definitely the best for this year!!!

[@bekos1900]

What a very nice Christmas song, never heard a better one.!!!!! Beats everything.

[@wondersaz]

What a beautiful song, what a voice.. makes me wanna dance under the snow. I love it!

[@jujmental]

Beautiful, moving song - perfect for Christmas and about time we had something a little different at this time of year. Love it

[@65blueandy]

Certainly the best Christmas song of recent years and up there with the all time classics. Wonderful.

[@raymondwatson4091]

At least 500 of those views are mine. I used to wish this fantastic song was more popular, but now in a strange way I'm glad it's not.

[@mans1964]

Beats everything. In all popmusic, a better Christmas song never was written. And it probably never will.

[@brendangriffith8737]

A great song , apt for this time of year. Re-release it and let the public hear it again.

[@FledglingBuddhist]

How gorgeous this is, glad I discovered it after Ken Bruce played it on Radio 2. x

[@unfinished69]

Smith is a god!!!!

[@ProsperoMephisto]

I think it's only very rarely that music like this is made. (Especially since most popular christmas songs are rather shoddy.) Many thanks to mr. Smith and mr. Burrows for this beautiful song, in five years or so, this 'll be a christmas-classic.

[@TheRossB93]

This deserves to be a Christmas Classic at the top with The Pogues and John Lennon

[@frankiedon5221]

Second best Xmas song of all time. Pure quality

[@terryfookwitt]

+Oliver O'donnell Oooooh you little tease.

[@remus3960]

The best way to start 2019 .... if only people would see that if you are united, you are better of then alone...

[@2cvsmee]

Just saw this on an ad for another song on KZbin. Never listened to that song. Came straight here to listen to this again! Fantastic song!

[@sunnyannie1968]

Love this. Destined to become a Christmas classic if there's any justice or taste in the world.

[@petehind1]

'The years go by so fast, let's hope the next beats the last'. Fingers crossed...

[@saspix]

Fantastic song. It will tear you apart.......

[@stevetpretty]

Just discovered this song yesterday and can't stop listening to it! What an uplifting outro, especially in the video where everyone gets together and parties on down on Southbank beach

[@sigikidies]

I love this song so much....not only at Christmastime,but a whole year long.

[@borisinborough]

I can't say how much I like this song, because the words don't exist. Not since Jona Lewie has a Christmas single managed to put it's finger of the pulse of the nation so accurately. X Factor winners? Re-releases to combat them? The fact that this will not be the Christmas number one shows just how far our collective musical taste has disappeared down the pipes over the years.

[@anniesbistro]

this is getting better and better every year...includes my emotions when I listen to it

[@VCthaGOATdunker]

"constant reminder that i'm getting old" that line sticks with me the most.

[@colinjarmy9621]

I had never heard this (or them) before my son included it in his recent wedding ceremony. It's breath-taking, simply beautiful.

[@claudiaregina3320]

It's wonderful life...and you're wonderful !!!👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😍😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏👏beautiful songs 👏👏👏

[@Oystercatcher011]

I loved this song when Simon Mayo played it today on 'Drivetime' - it's definitely got a proper Christmas song feel about it, not just from the lyrics. The distant brass band, building in volume, the carol-like sing-a-long sound. Simon was praising the video to high heavens. I like it too :-)

[@NoiseWriter]

Amazing, I'm in love with this song.

[@drstevie]

Beautiful.

[@bomanclackhanger]

wow, this song is beautiful in so many ways. repeat repeat repeat...

[@grahamgh9173]

have just found these artists, what talent. what songs, wow.p

[@Sparkykelly1]

Ava age10- me and my dad are loving this! Happy Christmas to all

[@TemplarsSword]

Yes l went to the shoot and if you look at the video, l am the person with the grey hat and black coat next to Tom, pushing the piano. I spoke to Tom whilst walking away from the waterside shoot. He is a gentleman and a very nice person. It was a really great day and one hell of a memory. I am not being bias, but this song should of definitely been No1, but because of the corrupt and commercial crap floating around, this great song had no chance. Anyway, on that note, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY.

[@Rodebesjes]

Oh wat een prachtig nummer, wat een geweldige stem. Met stip binnengekomen bij mijn favorieten!

[@L15Can]

The end of Christmas day, when there's nothing left to say The years go by so fast, let's hope the next beats the last!!!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas editors fans!!

[@Ambienfinity]

Absolutely brilliant .... I played this all last Christmas.

[@obvious007]

God damn, this snow Will I ever get where I wanna go And so I skate, across the Thames Hand in hand, with all my friends And all the things, That we planned My son's eyes in the outline of his hand And even though, I hate the cold A constant reminder that I'm getting old Another year draws to its close, Entire London slows When I dream tonight, I'll dream of you When the Thames ... Froze God damn, this government Will they ever tell me, where the money went Protesters march out on the street As young men sleep amongst the feet Another year draws to its close, Entire London slows When I dream tonight, I'll dream of you When the Thames, Froze Tell everyone that there's hope in your heart Tell everyone or it will tear you apart The end of Christmas day, when there is nothing left to say The years go by so fast, let's hope the next beats the last Tell everyone that there's hope in your heart Tell everyone or it will tear you apart The end of Christmas day, when there is nothing left to say The years go by so fast, let's hope the next beats the last

At last...an honest to goodness, Christmas song. Excellent.

[@stevelutwyche]

Love this song, a modern Christmas classic!

[@digiroj]

Already a 'classic' in my book ! :) Love it.

There hasn't been a better Christmas song written since this one, love it.

First heard this on Stereo Underground, such a classic. Sounds timeless. Cheers guys

[@nondualityone]

What a beautiful beautiful tune!!!

[@2fallguy]

Just found this beautiful song

[@jean-pierredevent970]

He really can sing exceptionally beautiful and well, I think. For once not another high screamer but a warm baritone. (even bass baritone?)
