Okay! So I like East 17!
I must admit that I am not a great fan of East 17 but back in 1994 when this song was a Christmas hit and Kerry and I were living in Loughton we used to see Brian and Daniella Westbrook around the place! Whatever you think of the rest of their music I personally love this song and think it is their best number. A Christmas Number 1 back in 1994 it is rumoured to be about the death of Tony Mortimer’s brother and as such is an example of yet another song about love and loss which as you know are among the greatest ever themes of music. How ever many songs are written on this subject each one is truly personal, some are better than others and all are unique.
As a result of its association with Christmas this has come to be seen as a Christmas song and appears on some Christmas albums and even though it isn’t really a true Christmas song in the real sense of the genre it does remind me of Christmas which is a time of peace and goodwill to all men (coupled with excessive boozing and other pleasures!!).
Now listen to the song….
