…my favourite ‘modern’ Christmas song, really rate Tom Chaplin’s voice

Sad lyrics, but turned into a modern day Christmas classic anyhow.

Pretty certain the video inspired many on here’s fashion sense to boot!

    Didn’t say I liked it, but like most other crap Christmas songs, they get hammered this time of year and become classics.

    Plus, I thought you’d be digging the trabs…

      If you think I would like those trabs Scott, I really do despair

      ScottBailey Hahaha….maybe I would have liked this back in high school, during my goth phase, but at this point in my life, I just worry about this dude’s vocal chords lol

      I am not sure how Christmassy it is but it’s the double a side of Last Christmas. Everything she wants is brilliant

      These are great guys…thanks! 🙂

      Here are some others I found (in case anyone else is interested):

      honestly forgot about this one until it popped up yesterday:

      Has anyone ever thought Bono’s line in the Live Aid song - “Well tonight thank God its them, instead of yooouuuuuu” - was a veiled hint at the deep seated racism hidden in this song?

        LT42 I honestly hadn’t thought that deeply about it, but it’s certainly plausible!

        Another song conspiracy:

        LT42 I have always seen it as a reflection of Geldof’s anger at the establishment turning a blind eye to famine. Given his continuing efforts re Africa and debt relief since, it would make sense
