And since this is a music blog, I’m going to skip the “leaving the dog in the cold” controversy out of this and let you enjoy the song!

This year’s song is Your Song by Ellie Goulding originally by Elton John. Somehow they always manage to put me right in the mood for Christmas.

I think John Lewis is making a habit out of this, taking a modern singer to cover an old song and play it during the Christmas session, and possibly making the Top 10 in the charts as well. I’m all for this - so much much better than last year’s christmas number 1.

The best thing about this song is it’s sincerity. It doesn’t try to appeal to a large market, nor is it an obvious attempt at sounding current; it presents itself with honesty. Amongst all the Christmas cash-in re-releases; the gimmick Christmas singles; the X Factor Winner’s Single; and the countless number of Facebook campaigns, Ellie Goulding’s cover of ‘Your Song’, whilst being part of a re-release itself, creates a sense of sincerity, like you know Ellie’s releasing it because she wants to, rather than because she wants some big sales over the Christmas period.

Enjoy!

Luke is first to go…

A song which fuses together the best love songs in history.  Soppyness galore! Ewan McGregor, is not a singer by profession but excels when he sings Love lifts us up where we belong!  He expresses the emotion of love in such a tangible way.  You can easily believe that he is in love with Nicole.  A current favourite, and yes I am Soppy, THANKS :P

It has so far been featured in ads for Chrysler, Rhapsody, the movie 500 Days of Summer, and most recently Diet Coke. As if that weren’t enough, it has also been used in official conjunction with 90210, Greek, The Good Wife, and The Deep End. Some of the more attentive consumers are calling upon advertisers to find a new favorite song before this one attains sentience and enslaves humanity.

Here’s the full song (again)… enjoy :)

(which happens to be the first single of Avril’s fourth album)

Please don’t get too excited. In my opinion it’s more of a Taylor Swift/Miley Cyrus song, and saying this I hope,  I really really hope, the film wouldn’t be a disappointment like the song.

It features tracks from Regina Spektor, The Smiths, Black Lips, Doves, The Temper Trap, Carla Bruni, Feist, Wolfmother, Mumm-Ra…

I collected a playlist with some of the tracks from the movie
