It's that time of year again... the week when we can have more than one record of the week! And, where we can indulge ourselves and pick tunes and songs chosen previously. So, to kick it all off we bring you an Indie classic that should have been a smash back in 2002.
Now, don't be fooled by the title, it's not quite as throwaway as it at first appears to be given the title...
But I won't spoil it too much for you; you have a listen and see what you think for yourselves.
This is one of my all time festive favourites. It combines melancholy, humbug, longing, hopes, dreams, a wry smile here and there along with all the trimmings of sleigh-bells, church-bells and a choir. Yet it starts so simply with that acoustic intro that gets stung by that chiming electric guitar after the first line.
Very merry stuff. And don't you get me started on New Year!
You can buy this on CD at amazon...
