Despite the festive mood that christmas lights are supposed to bring during the holidays, the ever so genius Coldplay translates to this beautiful track the valid reality Christmas isn't always merry. One way to try to address this is to write a song about it. You may feel better after, or you won't. And that's okay. The important thing is to try and work on the things you can control.
I recorded this 2 years ago in 2019. Although I would say this year is relatively better compared to last year, I still found myself struggling with being merry last Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Still, I am looking forward to a better year next year (which is...a few days from now, actually!!).
For now, let me replay for the nth time Coldplay's Christmas Lights. ✨
