"A melody is like seeing someone for the first time, the physical attraction, sex...but then, as you get to know the person, that's the lyrics, they're story, who they are underneath. It's the combination of the two that makes it magic" - Sophie

CHRISTMAS MUST BE SOMETHING MORE

If I have to choose my favourite Christmas song this year, (very difficult indeed), I think I'll say it's Taylor Swift's (yes I know I know, her again) "Christmas Must Be Something More".



I never really know the true meaning of Christmas.
Maybe I didn't really bother finding out because well, maybe because I thought I know. I guess to me, Christmas is a festival celebrated by the Christians, a holiday for us, a time where we spent with our loved ones, I do count my blessings on Christmas sometimes, and hang out with friends and get in the mood for jingle and bells.

But Taylor Swift wrote a beautiful song reminding all of us the true meaning of Christmas.
And now I know why Christians celebrate Christmas.
See how useful songs are ya..
I think this is a great Christmas song, a whole lot better than Lady Gaga's piece entitled "Christmas Tree". Well if you have not heard it, it could be a good thing.  I really don't know how one can write such sordid lyrics for such a holy festival. Oh well, some might insist that she's just creative haha. But imagine relating a Christmas tree with the upper body of a women and men as the present...ya that's what she's talking about...


Anyway back to brilliant lyricist like Taylor Swift hehe.
Enjoy this one.






What if ribbons and bows didn't mean a thing
Would the song still survive without five golden rings
Would you still wanna kiss without misletoe
What would happen if God never let it snow
What would happen if Christmas carols told a lie
Tell me what would you find

You'd see that today holds something special
Something holy, not superficial
So here's to the birthday boy who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
So here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something more

What if angels did not pay attention to
All the things that we wished they would always do
What if happiness came in a cardboard box
Then I think there is something we all forgot
What would happen if presents all went away
Tell me what would you find

You'd see that today holds something special
Something holy, not superficial
So here's to the birthday boy who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
So here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something more

We get so caught up in all of it
Business and relationships
Hundred mile an hour lives
And it's this time of year
And everybody's here
It seems the last thing on your mind

Is that the day holds something special
Something holy, not superficial
So here's to Jesus Christ who saved our lives
It's something we all try to ignore
And put a wreath up on your door
But here's something you should know that is for sure
Christmas must be something
Christmas must be something
Christmas must be something more

There's gotta be more
There's gotta be more
