Low - Just Like Christmas

[murtbuggy]

Febuary the 3rd and still listening to this. just cant get enough of it.

[CasparWilson]

Beautiful song, quite downbeat/depressing to me though somehow. Not quite sure why, guess its the vocals

[bettersongaday]

better song a day holiday selection 12.23.2011

[juslikejesus]

was it really just like christmas?

[jonremache]

Heard this song at work nd fell in love with it after the third time.

[murtbuggy]

Not a good Christmas song just a good song

[Jeanette1622]

at my job all they would play was christmas songs same songs i would hear the same song like 10 times a day!!!.....but when this song would come out i loved it!!!!

[newwaveofthenewwave]

Who else found that snowflake button? LET IT SNOW!!!

[Kompe2]

Beyond depressed, this song works

[SnowPatrolChlo]

I work in Next and they have started playing this ALL THE TIME. Not a bad thing though-epic song.

[WickerMan87p]

Heard this on the Ronan Collins Show!

[brookes88]

I have currently listened to this song about 15times in a row as I am suddenly feeling the Christmas spirit. Seriously an amazing Christmas song!

[seaotteR79]

I loathe The Guardian. At Christmas God bestows His grace on the cool and the uncool alike.

[vknfuj]

oh god, so so so lovely

[catsick94]

It's Christmas time again

[shrew972]

great great great

[darren1naudi]

Greatest surprise of my life.Finally, I managed to find this song

[seaotteR79]

Beautiful. 

[Belisaur]

Stupid question ,but this isnt the actual RTE news on two rite?

[copaceticetal]

This is the only Christmas song that makes me tear up. Maybe its because you don't hear in every shopping mall and supermarket a month before the holiday, like all the others... or maybe its just a great fucking song.

[nfaz75]

@copaceticetal i agree, its the same old bunch of songs every year!

[ignoranttwat]

Is it OK to listen to this in February?

[LilKnd]

@ignoranttwat It's the end of May now, and i absolutely love it! Who's up for round two???

[DomWrath]

@ignoranttwat Hell, that's what I'm doing =]

[goofygoat2009]

@ignoranttwat hell yes

[GavinWilkinsMusic]

[SydCosmic]

So catchy...been playing this about five times a day for the past week.

[seaotteR79]

Never thought I'd hear such a fast Low song. It's so jaunty! But they've still got that lovely major to minor thing going on. Happy/sad. Wondrous!

[seaotteR79]

Gorgeous.

[erik3579]

absolutely gorgeous song. meloncholy at its best. happy/sad.....i don't know.

[greycubs]

great song to bad wmg does not allow artist's to share it... it would give more exposure to low... a great band.

[magpuss]

Is that an Orchestron they're using? Great song, by the way!

[scarycurlgirl]

I can, and have, listened to this song on repeat. Over and over and over. Makes me happy and sad all at once, making it the perfect song for this time of year.

[TheFreudianslit]

I have computed this song to be the best Christmas song ever. If not a bit stretched. 

[Rich27014]

My God, it is just gorgeous and has been ever since I first heard it all those years ago.......

[BIFFY425]

this is the only christmas song that feels like it was written just to be enjoyed at this time of year rather than just make money

[Teobi1]

This is the only Christmas song that makes me cry.

[adamskirfc]

just awesome. Thank you Mark Radcliffe for introducing it to me back in 96ish.

[BIFFY425]

@adamskirfc yeah i heard it there first to!

[steveavison]

this is pure magic

[78RustyNail]

Great stuff just heard it on 6 music forgot all about it!

[rezillos]

They play it in mcdonalds!! Its great to work too at 6am! great song

[briteness]

This song is one of the reasons to live.

[slctrjns]

Ahhh it's that time of the year once more! When the snow falls and I can hear Low over the instore PA in my local supermarket! So long to humbuggery, this is just to lovely x

[paulcan38]

Just wondering how this song was put on Youtube when WMG took my version down?

[rtenewsontwo]

@paulcan38 When did you upload yours?

[paulcan38]

@rtenewsontwo 2 nights ago - i remember a few home made videos to this tune a couple of years ago but all were removed - only yours has survived.

[rtenewsontwo]

@paulcan38 Ah! I see, I guess it's a case of 'Paul Can't'.

sorry about that

[themichaelplaster]

@rtenewsontwo funny:)

[themichaelplaster]

@rtenewsontwo 'Paul Can't'. funny:)

[antientropic]

@rtenewsontwo hoho! funny!

[Virginpilot]

This song is part of our aircraft Christmas Boarding music selection here at Virgin Blue in Australia..it creates a nice mood for on board the aircraft

[shadyrosy]

@paulcan38 That will be the stupid random Auto detect system YouTube has in place. Don't feel bad - the shitbrains have been flagging some of my own (personally created, own music, etc.) videos. I am now boycotting Youtube and will only post to Vimeo, it flags stuff really hit and miss and it flags pretty much anything. I have complained repeatedly, but they of course never respond. (that's why I have stopped posting vids here - shall soon post a protest video everytime I take down one of mine

[affjigabiggle]

This is such a bizarre song for Low. It's great though.

[DaydreamersPlight]

Holiday Sidewinder + Glenn Richards! Rockwiz Christmas Special 2009.

I was there, it was amazing!! 'It was just like Christmas' never sounded so good :)

[doubehahou]

bioutifoul !



[tkksilvergun]

The best evocation of life on the road and the most bittersweet acknowledgement of winter as well. Go Low!

[deanerspace1231]

this song makes me feel like i'm home no matter where i am... looking out the window watching snow fall ever so jently... such a warming feeling...

[smokebelchblog]

it's definitely 'beds' ... the point being that sleeping in a bed that's too small either reminds you of being home, in your childhood bed, or sleeping over on a relative's couch, or something like that. That's my reading of it anyway.

[theghostofchristmasp]

@RocketboyX I suspect you're actually the one who's asleep, and, I suspect you have been your entire life, you pointless philistine; waste of skin.

[mikeofdoom]

@RocketboyX Of course they're not asleep you fucking dozy cunt. How else would they be playing instruments and singing? Fuck off and listen to Distrubed, that's as good as you deserve.

[adzthejuggler123]

I wish they would compile an alternative Christmas album with gems like this and Badly Drawn Boys Donner Und Blitzen instead of recycling the same old stuff year after year.

[gjordanro]

gratuit

[mantra3000]

I love you Mimi!

[dessan7]

This song makes me warm inside

[cedar688]

i first heard this on cbc, nightlines. great christmas song!

[scotsguy422]

I just LOVE this song, always have, her voice is perfect!!

[somejamandaradiator]

@rtenewsontwo

aaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!! :D

[TheConstellation72]

The whole Christmas EP is first class...

[scotsguy422]

What is the EP please? Also, do you know the singers name? Her voice is lovely!

[TheConstellation72]

The EP is simply called 'Christmas EP' and was released back in 1999.

Low are a 3 piece from Duluth,USA.They are,Alan Sparhawk,Mimi Parker and Steve Garrington. Vocals are shared between Alan & Mimi.

[scotsguy422]

Many thanks for that. I did a Google search and discovered the album and have been listening to some other tracks, all of which I really like!

Regards.

[TheConstellation72]

If you like that sound then check out some Mazzy Star,Galaxie 500 and Mojave 3...

[geoffmurrell]

My very favourite Christmas Song!

[susiepussycat]

A Big fan of the band. As a Christmas song, for me, this is up there.

The lyrics and intonation, sublime and blissful

[mattyt5veppy]

love this song, first heard it on mark and lard years ago ;-D

[Volsus]

<3

I listen to this song, and this song exclusively, every year around Christmas

[MrBlackmambo]

This song is my all time favourite Christmas song! Briljant text!

[planetkitchen]

just a dumb joke.

Love this song, and I look forward to hearing it again every year :8

[planetkitchen]

it was just like Chris Moyles?

[lakshmimittal]

oh The Guardian nay-sayed Christmas songs! those humourless pricks!

[Rubyx4]

I live in Manchester too! Woop!

But seriously, I adore this song.

[taylorannburke]

what instrument is in the background? Is it a trumpet?

[Jellyform]

I think its a hammond organ or some kind of synth doing an organ sound.

[chivelegs]

@Jellyform

It's an Optigan, a bit like a Mellotron but using vinyl discs.

[Jellyform]

Oh thanks! I had never heard of those before.

[paddyuk]

On our way from Stockport, it started to snow

and you said it was like Christmas

but you were wrong, wasnt like christmas at all.

By the time we got to Wilmslow, the snow was gone

and we got lost....

[theflyfliesagain]

*Stockholm

[hundredchances]

it's actually supposed to be Stockholm and Oslo, not Stockport and Wilmslow

[paddyuk]

lol, Yeah I know that - I just like to change the words to fit in with my Manchester heritage.

Probably should have mentioned that in the post, but I thought it was pretty obvious......

[hundredchances]

ah. you're right, it probably is obvious for people from the UK. i just thought you'd misheard the lyrics. sorry about that.

[cyn41078]

It was obvious. Wow...daft.

[ManfredMitchum]

When did this song come out?

[EurekaMoment]

5,8k views only? Weak.

[kangaroocomedy]

Weak? I dont think so....its only a matter of time b4 this song is removed...Just Like Christmas has been removed so many times from many channels....you see, its nearly Christmas..Merry Christmas

[rtenewsontwo]

the thing is WMG have ended their dispute with youtube and pretty soon, WMG will be re-uploading (just invented a word there) their videos again.

[kangaroocomedy]

thanks for that...

[susiepussycat]

this song has always deserved the exposure it sadly has been missing.

Pray this all at an end!

[waxeater]

And again this one goes back on the iPod for the next few weeks.

[murray533]

on our way to durban, it started to snow, it was almost christmas... in south africa

[dbasq1]

Best Christmas song ever. Shame about the asshole who uploaded it:P

[diegosk887]

[goofygoat2009]

[shrew972]

[rtenewsontwo]

WMG, PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS SONG AWAY.

[MrSilibili]

This is Low's christmas present to us all(-:

[susiepussycat]

It'll live and be here for every Christmas come.

We all so lucky (-;
