Day 23 The Carpenters – Merry Christmas Darling

This is such a special song for me and remains in my top 3 favourite Christmas songs. Karen Carpenter had such a gorgeous voice – she sang like an angel. Her death was such a tragic loss to the music industry.

I think this song is just beautiful. It’s so soft and really quite sad but that doesn’t make the song in general depressing. The harmonies (especially at the end) are gorgeous.

This song has appealed to me more than once with it’s lyrical content as it describes the situation in which you can’t be with the person you’d like to be with.

Love this song.
