Can you believe it’s almost Christmas and we are officially in the Christmas season because the First of Advent was this past Sunday. I decided to choose 3 songs from famous bands that, I believe, could even be called carols. If you want more Christmas songs head on over to Curious As A Cathy to enjoy more tunes.
1. LITTLE THINGS SUNG BY ABBA-2021
This is from their newest album and I, of course, love it. It’s so sweet and nostalgic.
2. A CHRISTMAS SONG SUNG BY JETHRO TULL-1972
I really love this song and think it’s great. It’s written by Ian Anderson who was lead singer for this great band. I never read much about this band or him but he sounds very cool.
3. I BELIEVE IN FATHER CHRISTMAS SUNG BY GREG LAKE-1975
This is my favourite Christmas new song from Greg Lake famous from Emerson, Lake and Palmer and King Crimson. He wrote this song in protest of the commercialism of Christmas and this was back in 1975! It seems even more important now considering Black Friday and all the crap out there. This is magic.
What Christmas songs come into your head that is more …modern?
Good selections here! I like Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Christmas Song (I Won't Be Home For Christmas)" that I posted to my blog last week...
ReplyDeleteJethro Tull and a Christmas song. I never would've out those two together!
ReplyDeleteJethro Tull is absolutely cool. 😎 And thank you for also showcasing Greg Lake's song - one of my favourites of all time! 💖 May he R.I.P. 😢
ReplyDeleteI like Fairytale of New York by the Pogues. More poignant this year with the loss of Shane McGowan (though I’m amazed he survived as long as he did)!
ReplyDeleteMy husband bought the Aqualung album of Jethro Tull when it first came out. This particular song was new to me. I knew and love the Greg Lake song. Little Things was new to me an the video was so sweet. Beautiful video and song both. Modern Christmas songs? All I Want for Christmas (Is You) comes right to mind although I think it's already almost 15 years old.
