[MrPryck2U]

I just heard I Believe in Father Christmas. I wasn't a big fan of the song until hearing U2's version.

 

[Gonna Run 2 U]

U2's version Baby Please Come Home is my favorite Christmas Song

 

[LastEdgeOnEarth]

I just heard I Believe in Father Christmas. I wasn't a big fan of the song until hearing U2's version.

Actually, I like Greg Lake's version better. It's kind of darker.

U2's version Baby Please Come Home is my favorite Christmas Song

That's my favourite too.

Plus is Peace On Earth regarded as a Christmas song? I think I read somewhere it was thought of as a bit of a follow up to If God Will Send His Angels.

I used to listen to it alot when ATYCLB came out, but not so much anymore.

streets. 40.

 

[U2387]

Christmas Baby Please Come Home
If God will send his Angels
I believe in father Christmas(really liking the vocals!)
One
Still Havent found
City of Blinding Lights

And dont ask me why, but Desire and Angel of Harlem. I have always felt AOH had that kind of jazzy, Christmas type ring to it, but thematically, its not Christmas at all. Desire is a little harder to explain, but maybe start w/ the crazy shopping and lights, the urge to go out and consume, etc.

Hmm, have you ever listened to the lyrics of AoH?

"It was a cold and wet December day
When we touched the ground at JFK
Snow was melting on the ground
On BLS I heard the sound
Of an angel

New York, like a Christmas tree
Tonight this city belongs to me
Angel"

Me too Jim. My copy is still at my dads...soon to be with me when i get my record collection going again. what was on the B-Side? Was it A Room At The Heartbreak Hotel and another one?

 

[Addicted To Bad]

WAK ON is a song that gives/shows me strenght and makes think we all need to be ready to face negative things in our lives and keep the optimism for a better Christmas and a New Year for all humankind



Walk On is my Christmas song

 

[RPRB]

Angel of Harlem

[silvrlvr]

U2's version Baby Please Come Home is my favorite Christmas Song

I listen to it, but nothing will ever top the Darlene Love version.

Like U2's version of Happy Christmas (War is Over) and I'm in love with I Believe in Father Christmas.

'Baby Please Come Home' will always be my all time favorite Christmas song.
