I'll never understand just how come these words and music and performance come together so true, so mythical but they do. Always. I'm with everyone below - Best Christmas Song Ever. I listen to it not just during the holiday, but whenever I want to feel moved inside. This doc is beautiful. Thank you.

@albertobinelli44844 жыл бұрын
I think that what makes this song so great is the fact that once in the while I somehow feel the "need " to listen it. Doesn't matter if it's Christmas or not. It works particularly well whenever I feel shame for something. There are other Christmas songs that I personally refuse to listen even during the festivities, like "All I want for Christmas is you", is way too much for me.

I'm a bit pissed, (wine, not beer) and teary after watching. Never saw this Doc til now. Bitter/sweet, like the song, like life. My favorite Xmas song. Couldn't help but also think of the late, great Phillip Chevron's, Thousands Are Sailing, at one point in the video. It was as if they were talking about it, too. Right? Two brilliant songs on a brilliant album. I graduated High School the month Sargent Peppers was released. I hope, a 100 years from now, this record will be remembered. As for Sargent Peppers.... Whatever. This also hits home because of Kirsty. I lost my 24 year old son to brain cancer the summer of '99. Thanks for posting, Adam.

The most honest (and brilliant) Christmas song ever recorded. It's fine, I suppose, to want to believe life is all about sugar plumb faeries and happiness. But true artistry exposes truth in life and there is a reason Christmas is the top time of year when folks, so inclined, choose to take their life. And god bless Kirsty MacColl. It goes beyond words how much her music and writing, hell, even her life, has inspired and moved me throughout my own. I'll never forget the feeling of when I heard she was no longer with us. And, despite my own convictions sometimes, I always find myself, at some point during the dive, to be saying a little prayer for Kirsty and her children whenever I'm diving off Cozumel.
