with best prices today in the USAhe album Ghost Stories For Christmas comes out on December 7. In the meantime, they have released another tra
ck from the album entitled ‘A Ghost Story For Christmas.’ And it’s really rather lovely…Check out the lyric video below.
…as I said yesterday, it’s my plan to make sure I post some new Christmas
tracks this year, as well as repeating some that have previously been on here.
As always, there is debate about what constitutes a Christmas song.
ears ago (alright, 2009, but it seems like another lifetime ago) I argued that ‘
River’ by Joni Mitchell is a Christmas song. Some songs become Christmassy by affiliation, quite often because they first became hits at Christmastime (in the UK at least), a list which might include Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s ‘The Power Of Love,’ East 17’s ‘Stay Another Day’ and of course ‘Only You.’ ‘Only You’ started life as a synth ballad by Yazoo before being redone as an a capella version by Flying Pickets and becoming the Christmas no.1 in 1983. So, there’s something quite Christmassy by association – but maybe this lovely version by Aidan and Hubby will mean that it is seen as being a ‘Christmas song.’ Whatever, it’s lovely…
