It's a lovely song, but the video is tip top A1, because at first you think he's sitting in the snow but he's not, and then the Vietnam footage later on.
The other good thing about the video is that the open E string really clunks, unlike the CD version where it's more muted somehow.
Yes we likes this one too ☺
ReplyDelete3 out of 10 so far, not bad going.
My wife's favourite - thanks!
ReplyDeleteA song I'd not heard in an age, but the best so far, maybe even ever... Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSecond best Christmas song ever! For me Slade edges it out for sheer Christmassy exuberance.
ReplyDeleteThis is my era and the thing I remember best of all is that every "true ELP fan" in my secondary school was embarrassed by this song.
ReplyDeleteWith that in mind, let me say that I always liked it.

Think I'll give up producing a winter playlist, might just as well stick to yours.
ReplyDeleteAnother old fave.
