Kõige "kurvem ja ilusam" jõululaul

Endiselt on minu jaoks kõige kurvem ja ilusam jõululaul Sarah McLachlani cover vanast Joni Mitchell -i laulust "River". Juba vähemalt üle-eelmisest jõulust saadik.

Kui kellelgi on nii kurb ja paha jõulude ajal nagu selles laulus... see paneb oma õnne endisest rohkem väärtustama ja aru saama, et see kõik mis mu ümber on, ei ole sugugi "iseenesest mõistetav"...



Its coming on christmas
Theyre cutting down trees
Theyre putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

But it dont snow here
It stays pretty green
Im going to make a lot of money
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on

I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
