A Few Words: "All I Want For Christmas Is New Year's Day", by Hurts

Hurts - All I Want For Christmas is New Years Day (Official)

A big part of Christmas is the music, especially for taking a look at years' past. Christmas music, for me, has exposed me to greats like John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Slade from an early age, helping me to at first understand the great music of the 60s, 70s and 80s. Noughties attitudes mean that Christmas music is rarely written. Hurts, however, disagree with this sentiment.
     And, to be honest, the song is standard Hurts fare - a melancholic drawl with optimistic lyrics that sort of flies by without much notice. The song has a lot of warmth and definitely fits the seasonal theme, but it blends in too well with the rest of the songs in their ouvre. So; worth a listening - if you like Hurts.

Thanks.
