Do you like Chrismas Duets? Well here is one that you really should like. Performed by Ray Davies (former frontman of "The Kinks") and Chrissie Hynde (frontwoman for The Pretenders). Yes, I know, they used to be an item. This song may be what is known as a peripheral Christmas song. It is has its deft touches of Christmas.
"It was a city I used to know
And as a child when it was Christmas
I played in the winter snow"
and yet another verse of seasonal childhood memories
"We built a snowman by Hampstead Pond."
"Walked down to Waterloo at Yuletide and we sang so many songs"
It is also a directly song about lost familiarity of places, landmarks, and even pubs in one's hometown and quite clearly the importance of remembrance. Thus, although not directly a Chistmas song, it does conjure up the feel, mood, ambience, and nostalgia one routinely associates with Christmas. Of course, the lovely choir harkens me back to Christmas. Hope it does you as well:)
Take a look and see how you feel!
