Ack. On the topic of Christmas songs : Stay Now - East 17

Now I should hate this song, however you are bang on the money, hearing that the week before christmas somewhere nice and warm and beery smelling is just right!

[mamemeister]

Yeah, most seem to be cheesy tunes but move me nevertheless.

Chicago - Hard Habit to break
Phil Collins - Groovy Kind of LOve
Sarah Brightman - Time to say goodbye (My mum was a big fan and this came out weeks before she died)
Simon and Garfunkel -Bridge Over Troubled Water
Art Garfunkel - Bright Eyes (EEe Mame ya fuckin poof!!)

I get a bit drippy over 'Forever Autumn' off the War Of The Worlds soundtrack.

Good God - Forever Autumn, I dont know why but when I hear that song it just takes me right back to the seventies when I was a nipper. Mum, Dad and my 2 sisters, these were very special, happy times. It kinda makes me feel homesick and want a cuddle from my Mum.

I'm with SB on Greg Lake mind

I *love* that song. It seems kind of cynical on the surface, but I think it's more of a lament for lost innocence. Totally takes me back to childhood Christmas excitement...

I too love this song. In fact I play it every xmas where I work.

Forever Autumn - How did I forget that one. I'm gonna have to listen to the whole album now

Reminds me of that line from Cracker, mate...

Fitz: "Missing someone is a way of spending time with them".

There are only two christmas songs that I have any time at all for and they are the Cocteau Twins versions of "Frosty The Snowman" and "Winter Wonderland" .

As I said a loong way back in this thread - Greg Lake's 'I Believe In Father Christmas' and 'Fairytale Of New York' are my bestest Christmassy numbers.

I think that favourite christmas (interesting how people tend to CaPitalise that isn't it?) albums deserves a thread all of it's own, but I'll hijack this one to say "Have you heard the Low Christmas album?"

Look! It's only a bloody fiver, go and buy it. It's great. Even if they are <spit> christians.

(And, contrary to the Amazon review, I always play this at family gatherings )

Cheers

Under The Bridge - The Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

It's just an *incredibly* moving song for anyone that's hit that dark low point and beaten it. The last two Chilli Peppers albums contain some really heart-warming melodic music. Great stuff indeed.

agreed, esp. when the choral part comes in
...especially if you know right what the song is about.

All Saints can just FUCK RIGHT OFF on that one
