I Believe in Father Christmas – Greg Lake (HQ Audio)

Powerful stuff. To me the ultimate Christmas song

You are so right wasagoodkid.

its officially christmas when you first hear this song, one of the few that captures the essence of the season like ‘fairytale of newyork’ and ‘last christmas.’ i wish you a hopeful christmas!

You can tell it’s getting near Xmas, i heard this @ a department store yesterday, i do still love this song tho.

there is no god

Oh dad told me to type this song in on youtube, and i’m glad i did, this song is legendary!!!

damn good song, better even than john lennon’s one but not quite as good as the pogues

something thats always puzzled me – are those digeridoos (sp?) in the background?

It’d be horrible if humanity DIDN’T judge god. Because if we didn’t, then we wouldn’t have the wonderful view of atheism, would we?

good point…

God, that’s who.

Who is God to judge me?

I assume (and hope) you are just joking. But if not, who the heck are you to judge God?

Thank you, for your comment, and I wish you and your’s a good and “hopeful Christmas.”

@drexelur1 -I am well aware of their music(ELP),i grew up in the 70’s and i understand the lyrics as well as you do,which is to say you are right in your interpretation of father x-mas song. don’t get me wrong,i love the tune. merry x-mas to you,and a prosperous new year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY

1975, wasn’t it???

I would have thought God would be more generous as to give us the Christmas ‘we deserve’.

If you love this check out A Christmas Song (Please Don’t Let December End) and spread the word

How prophetic! Loved this song years ago. Means the same now though, “The Christmas We Get We Deserve”. WOW

actually this is what it sounds like when its on tv aswell and you have to consider that it was recorded way back in the 70’s

Thank you. I know, he did this alone. I was only commenting on the type of music that he is associated with, that it is deep. Again, not like Beach Boys (”Little St. Nick” etc.). It is one of my Christmas Favorites. (And on my “Favorites” list as well.) Happy Holidays!

@drexelur1 You are correct! Keith Emerson E, Greg Lake L, and Carl Palmer P, but this is a Lake solo song 1976

Cheers

this isn’t HQ audio at all

It makes me happy. But, I know what you mean. Remember, that Greg Lake was also in the group that sang “Lucky Man.” (I think it was Emmerson, LAKE, and Palmer.) You can interpret it many ways. He starts cynical, but relents, and wishes good things. “I wish you a hopeful Christmas…” The music is just deep. (Hey, it’s Em. Lake, and Palmer, not the Beach Boys! LOL!)
