HAPPY CHRISTMAS

Just want to wish everyone a Happy Christmas!!
here's a Christmassy song for you all :)

it's a cover of 2000 Miles by The Pretenders (a song I already
love) ... this is a great cover by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.
I discovered it around February time, on a bright crisp Winter's
day and even though Christmas had long gone, it was just so
damn perfect and filled me with such a great feeling ... I knew
then that there was only 1 song that I could be posting as my
Christmas video.

what I love about this cover, is that it's not the usual upbeat
MMB thing (which I love - I love this band!!) - but I think it
would have taken away from what makes this song *so special*
... they've kept it really close to the original - and dare I say it,
made it EVEN BETTER ... just how it's all lush sounding ... and
beautiful.

it makes me think of the Pogues 'Fairytale of NY crossed with
the Dropkick Murphys - it's definitely got that whole irish-U.S
punk feel going on - and just begs to be sang around a campfire
at the top of your lungs.

and JUST THAT BEGINNING ... it melts my heart. haha
(I'm not even joking!)

hope you all have a lovely day.
