Yay, it's christmas season again! And with it comes the unavoidable "Last Christmas", blasting out of every radio and every shop. This is my own take on Wham!'s famous Christmas Classic - a slower, more pensive acoustic version.
A few years ago, as I paid attention to the song's lyrics for the first time, I thought that the music really doesn't do them justice. The songs itself conveys a happy, christmas-y vibe, while the lyrics are actually quite sad.
So I sat down with my boyfriend and we came up with an acoustic cover version of Last Christmas, which we uploaded on our youtube channel. It is our most viewed video to date and we were so happy when it reached over 100.000 views last year! It already got played on a few german radio stations, too.
But in my opinion, the absolute best feedback is when people tell us they usually hate the song, but our version made them like it again. This was exactly what I was hoping for when we recorded the cover, and it makes me very happy and proud :)
I hope you enjoy it as well and have a wonderful christmas season!
