  • Don't you mean when did hang a shining star replace muddle through, Judy Garland started this song, and she sang muddled through, it related to the film, but commercialized Versions put in hang a shing star to make it less depressing and more appealing as a chritmas song.---i have no idea why, because the early version is more heartfelt and warm.

  • I remember decorating the tree last christmas listening to this song. Now I've decided that it's THE song to listen to.

  • @ippukujack 私の日本語は少し荒いですが、メリーあなたにクリスマス、そして­ハッピーニューイヤー。 :)

  • Actually, They changed several lyrics just to make the song for Meet me in St.louis. the writers of the movie made them change them because they thought it was too dark. I agree, no one sings this like judy, But JT is a close second. And the song was written to talk about how the year is tough and how to look forward to christmas, And the happies ruined the best christmas song ever! Hang a shining star doesnt even fit in, U get mad when people sing it that way, Sinatra is an over rated dope!

  • i love you, james taylor!

  • @trvwatson Last year I heard the writer, Hugh Martin, interviewed on Fresh Air. He said that Frank Sinatra was going to do the song but objected to the line about muddle through somehow, that it was too sad. He asked if it could be changed. So it was changed to hang a shining star...etc. I always think of that when I hear this tune. I much prefer the original lyrics and this version is my favorite.

  • 今年は一緒に過ごせないから、せめてゆったりとリラックスしたX­'masが過ごせますよに...愛しい君へ、優しいジェームスの­歌声をプレゼントさせて下さい。

  • my favorite christmas song by my favorite singer

  • James actually released this song on his October Road CD in 2002 and had recorded the original lyrics to the song because it's just his style but I saw an interview with him that he chose this version to record as a reflection of the times....with 9/11 so fresh in our hearts and minds, he felt that this more solemn, melancholy version was indicative of our hearts and mindset.

  • Nice.
