OK, we don't have Christmas now in February, but this is the most beautiful Christmas song I've ever heard!! And why's that? Because of Ron the songwriting genius and Russell the singing genius!!
Considering that practically every Christmas record you will hear was recorded over an 8 - 10 period straddling the 70s and early 80s, its really a breath of fresh air to hear something a little whimsical and NEW!!!
ps. It's hard to understand why this lovely melody performed in lovely falsetto doesn't have four million views. This is a better caliber of music than I am used to in Post Modernity.
@@unabhangigkeitfurschottlan1370 aw ta, I'm a proper music buff with hundreds of records on vinyl, dancing my legs down to the knees practicing for my performance 😁 Pasties.
That's the only Christmas song I really love. All the other ones are boring now, and some even get on my nerves, as you hear them every year thousands of times. But this one is different, because of Russell's unique voice. It's very clear and that's really very beautiful. Thank you!!
Sparks and Bowie releases on the same day? THIS should be a demonstration to the entire world of how unjustly Sparks has been railroaded out of mass respect. #propstoourpeeps
For some reason I'm imagining Wings at the Speed of Sound. Which is not a terrible album, it has about three decent songs on it, but it's the kind of album I can imagine receiving for Christmas and being all "Oh, great... thanks" and dying a little on the inside.
+aldiakaroofus I believe the guys in no way meant it to be disrespectful to Paul and his band! By the way, Russell once said in an interview that he'd sing with PM. Not sure if he was serious though...
3 years ago! I thought this was new. Yes, I caught that, too. He's saying "things I don't want like an album by Wings". I'd say that's an insult to Wings, which of course is mostly Paul. That's not very nice. And some Wings albums were pretty great. Oh, well. Maybe he just picked it because Wings rhymes with "things".
Cinematic genius, well... Now August 2021. 'The Sparks Brothers', the documentary by Edgar Wright. 'ANNETTE' the musical movie by Sparks, directed by Leos Carax starring Adam Driver, Marion Cottilard and Simon Helberg. Opened The Cannes Film Festival a month ago, Carax won the Best Director prize and Ron and Russell an inofficial Cannes prize for best soundtrack. Both films have gotten AMAZING reviews!!! 😁 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖
hows is this band still consistently amazing and fresh and original and awesome for 50 years now ?
Merry Chrismas to all Sparks-lovers from Sweden 2024. Leif. Umeå.
Merci beaucoup! 🎅 🇨🇵
Joyeux Noël et Bonne année !
Sparks is saving My Christmas
This voice is so unique! NOBODY can sing better than Russell Mael!!
Sparks have the knack of making a really good Christmas song....can't wait until the next one due around 2056😀
A very Merry Christmas to all Sparks fans, and to Ron & Russell - Gods amongst men.
I love how anytime Sparks mentions church in a song, they say something hilarious.
LOL, "The first I heard of kids"---a quip of lyrical genius! R&R, thanks for decking the halls with Snark & Folly!

Sparks. Still great. Franz Ferdinands collaboration with them was for a reason. They're quality, inventive Musicians.
I love specially when they do gospel, amazing song!!! ❤️
This is still a lovely song 8 years after the earlier comment. Nice to have Christmas songs that aren't played everywhere ❄️
Love the 'An album by Wings' line! lol!
At last, a Christmas song that speaks to me!

new bjork release- new bowie song and new sparks all in the same week and it's all pretty great stuff - really liking this song :D
I empathise with these lyrics :-) Ah, this is sublime and wonderful

Kimono my House!!!!!!
You have great taste

....très touchant...
Thanks for this, one I had not heard before.
Brilliant pure Sparks genius
Beautiful track! Love it!
Its criminal that this was never Xmas number 1!

brilliant! so different. loved this band since early days
Will play this a lot this December!
just a little piece of musical throwaway genius for the season from Ron and Russell.
+Kevin Faulkner : a close listen will reveal something considerably more than throwaway, not to mention brilliant singing.
the clue in my view was in the word 'genius'
This song moves me!
fabulous!

Nobody to pinch the all the best ones out of my tin of Quality Street! 😂
Now I'm in the Christmas spirit! :D
It's about that time once more!!!
I'm listening to this in Ausgust 2019 and it doesn't seem out of place even though it's a christmas song.
2021, the same!

Thai sound's great for Xmas dinner.Love the song boy's.

GENIUSES
I love u guys! Deflect that S.A.D.& grab the glad. I'll swing at the park wit'chu.
I LOVE YOU
will our pathetic radio stations play this beautiful song ? , no they will play the same old drivel very very sad
Thank God it's not Christmas
The best thing about Christmas is being able to ignore it!
"An album by Wings" LOL! Aww, but it's so rude, considering Macca imitated Ron in the video "Coming Up"! XD

Ivan Sushkevich I know that of course. I just thought it was ironic. ;-)
2nd hand record shops always seem to be full of Wings albums... draw your own conclusions

@@TheSteveGainesRockBand, perhaps he already had all of them? 🤔 😉😁😁💖
god blesss
+Paddy Mitchell I heard them last night on the radio and a member was interviewed. :)
Sorry The Killers, but this year is Sparks time
Me sad. I didn't have a good Christmas in years. December it is for me the period I pay for my sins.
Cinematic genius. Or I am just a wee bit depressed...either way.
Cinematic genius, well...

西友で流れてて気になってきた

I don't believe you, but for me it's the case.
I'll take this over that awful Mariah Carey Christmas song anyday
I`ll eat thai with you!
