Day 12 Coldplay – Christmas Lights

Not enough artists release Christmas songs any more and if they do, they’re always less than average covers that were probably recorded in less than a day with minimal effort. That’s why original, modern songs like these are so special.

This is just a really beautiful song. I love how it starts relatively sad, yet changes rhythm and tone half way through, becoming more optimistic. It always reminds me of a Christmas song that could have been released in the 1970’s for some reason.
