This song is an age finder. Could not be one teenagers today who wouldn't vomit. But WE KNOW BEST! Well, some of us are "open" to listening to the "Music of the Ancients" from times when life was pretty dumb and simple.
Such a dope Christmas song. Has a early Smashing Pumpkins vibe. Edit: Just correcting myself. I forgot Smashing Pumpkins did have a christmas song, and while that's good, this ones definitely better.
I noticed some complaints about the lyrical repetition but, in all honesty, the most anything is repeated is once (which, compared to MOST other songs, isn't much at all) ... excepting "now" which was repeated (NOT as a rhyming structure by the way) as a thematic device.... Simple, AND elegant, NOT trite. Of course, a plinky, splash of surf guitar reverb goes A LONG WAY with me, ha ha! Genius!!!
+ Mel Avakian , there's really little deep to say about a song that hasn't been said before. It's a lovely, depressing song, but it's not exactly Shakespeare. Might as well thank the guys that showed us these little bits of unparalleled joy, lovely misery, or alive epicness that some people call music.
In the sense it's a Christmas based song, yes. Otherwise, it has to get in a long line after all those great 80s underrated killers, and even some from the decades following, though not usually from acts AFTER the 80s, everything being so bad since the 90s and onwards.
I haven’t heard this song in at least a decade. Takes me back to being a senior in high school, just walking around the school talking to my girlfriend at the time a few days before christmas. She introduced me to this song and gave me a burned cd which, in my young love, I listened to on repeat all Christmas break. The last couple of seconds really hit hard and it brings back all those raw adolescent feelings where you thought your love was invincible. Things didn’t work out as they often dont at that age and I haven’t thought of her in years but this song will always take me back to those cold nights walking with my heart thumping, so excited, so happy and young and in love or whatever you think love is at 17. To be young again 😞
Your story brought tears to my eyes as I listened to this song, I, myself was taken back to school and young love that I thought would last forever, but didn't. I never completely got over that first love , and this song and your comment brought back beautiful memories. Thank you.
Well, the only way a song about Christmas can actually be good as opposed to sloppy, sappy, cloying and icky is to be alternative, that's the whole point I'd say, Name me an actual good Christmas song beyond 2 obvious ones.
Such an emotionally packed Christmas song. Im a very Macho Guy,....yet....it brings me near to Tears, when ever I hear it. It's Christmas, it's Romantic, it's Warm and Cozy, and It's just a very Magical piece of music. The Guitar Hooks are ingenious. When ever any song, can make you emotional.....you know....that it is a Master Piece of sound and lyrics. Their voices, their lyrics and their unique sound, could Crush even the Hearts of the Grinch or that of Scrooge. Pass me a Kleenex! lol LOVE IT!
This song is one of the greatest song s about Christmas ,, even if some people Think s the movie sucks on IMDB , which i am against because the movie rocks its one of the Best Christmas movies in the history, Christmas with the Kranks , its even Fun after serious many times watching i cant get enough of the movie , Jamie Lee Curtis youre the Best in hat movie ... even here in Denmark where i am from this movie just takes me floating away to Santa s caravan
The Raveonettes are heavily influenced by music from the 50s and 60s especially The Everly Brothers mixing it with noise pop, garage rock. Also heavily influenced by a great band called The Jesus and Mary Chain
this song is so good i listen to it the whole year not just christmas. + found this song on at an h&m and still the best song i ever discovered through shazam lol
I took a chance on watching Christmas with the Kranks and was utterly disappointed only to discover the first 3 minutes of the movie played this awesome song.
I discovered this song watching Christmas With the Kranks. I can't get it out of my head. Thank you!!! 🎄🎄
Me too. 🤣🤣🤣. Btw, love that movie. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@haddyaa1900 hell yeah love the music in that movie
Probably the best Christmas song ever
This song has such a nice vibe.
for two days, this song is stuck inside my head,, and i cant stop myself hitting the replay button.. such a cool song
I work at Banana Republic and I hear this song about 10 times a day. It's the only one that keeps me sane. That's what brought me here.

Nice 3 last letters in the link..

READ THE BOOK SKIPPING CHRISTMAS BY JOHN GRISHAM THE MOVIE IS BASED ON
@TheGodOfMusic88 everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Thumbs up if the Spar Ad on TV brought you here! :)
does anyone else hear a pleasing echo of The Breeders?
Yeah similar to Wolf Alice's Silk needs an extra verse / chorus at the end.
I'm here because the spar ad brought me
The vampire diaries brought me here
@JiminyNarna youtube always shows 305 or 309 views in a few days, before it goes to its real number :)
guys, can we make a clip for you? just answer
I miss levis
Mrs Skelton(my advanced ElA teacher) ruined this song for me and made me pick it apart
Not bad
That guitar tho....... why does this song have to be soo short? :/
couse everything good is short and timless
Jordan Bartholme ikr!!
Try their "Love in a trashcan". Being longer is not it's only feature ;)
킵온러닝
@@reuireuiop0 I see why you recommended that one, thanks!
You might enjoy "Boy" by Ra Ra Riot too =]
One of the most underrated songs of all time.

This is not just a Christmas song - it's a work of art!!!!!!!
So far, this is the coolest song about Christmas.
why say like this
xg1027 I completely agree. !
theres way better songs than that, even in the movie with the kranks
Yassss! 🎄🎆🎄
That's not hard. When's a song about Christmas ever been cool, apart from 1 0r 2 usually ignored/forgotten types?
This song feels like home.
To all the lost souls who finds comfort listening to this song; "Merry Christmas!"
*love and hugs.
❤
This song has such a 50-60s throwback song. It is the best thing about the movie The Kranks. It almost makes me cry.
It samples a classic 60s song

only bad thing in this song is...
it's too short
As alternative Christmas songs go..... this is the BEST!!!

Christmas with the Kranks, anyone?
good ass movie
Cheech Marin, Dan Aykroyd and the great Tom Poston.
top film
Definitely!
don't forget M EMMETT WALSH OLD MAN!
"all the lights are coming on now...how I wish that it would snow now"

Why am I watching Christmas Videos in the middle of summer?
Mr. Weatherman I’m with ya
@@heiljc1987 I'm close to christmas lol

Why not. Christmas could be all year long, you know.
This song is gorgeous.
The joy of Christmas comes whenever I listen to it.

They should play this on Malls instead of All I want for Christmas over and over and over again.
