The best Christmas song ever…

This is an open discussion… please feel free to post your own comments!

It is my opinion that “Happy Xmas (War is Over)” by John Lennon is the greatest Christmas song. The words are so meaningful compared to the average Christmas song that comes out year after year. It sends out a true message of hope…

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear….

….And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let’s stop all the fight

And apart from that, John Lennon was a true genius of the highest level. His songs pour out the deepest sentiment of life’s pain and joy and offer incredible wisdom. one of my favourite lyrics (more on this in a future thread) has to be from “Watching the Wheels”:

People ask me questions,
Lost in confusion,
Well I tell them there’s no problems,
Only solutions

A great attitude to have I’m sure you’ll agree.

See here for more information on John Lennon, one of musics brightest stars that, like many, fell far too soon.

I’m sure many will be amazed that I managed to write this much on Lennon without mentioning the Beatles. Damn! Well, the were quite incredible and will no doubt come up many times in future threads.

Well, that’s all for now. If you agree or disagree with my thoughts laid out here, please reply to this thread!
