ordinary pop songs and why they're great.

A month? A whole month has passed without inspiration?!! Apparently so.

Well I thought about this one a more sesonal few days back but it's coming in a little late now. Christmas songs. There's really only one fantastic one but there's two that I love.

The Power of Love by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
This isn't particularly a "christmas" song save for it's release date. But it's a really lovely song that's well executed. Just short of overblown. "I'll protect you from the hooded claw, keep the vampire from your door" - great.

Sleigh Ride by ?
This is the uppest, happiest most fantastic christmas song ever!! The singing never fails to amaze me, it's belted out with such perfection. And I have a real soft spot for the drums on this too - there's something strangely "hi-de-hi" going on there.
