about
A frosty, Christmassy remix (or "reimagining") of Merry Christmas Actually by Julianne Regan - and I'm utterly delighted with it!
Viewers may recall that the original 2020 track was created in collaboration with top producer Donald Ross Skinner - as with that version, we are splitting any earnings 50/50, so feel free to either buy it here or from Julianne's own Bandcamp page.
lyrics
Merry Christmas, what do you say
I'm bearing gifts and I wanna stay here with you
if that's OK?
Merry Christmas, I made a sign
to make you realise that you should be mine, OK?
if that's not weird in any way
Merry Christmas, let me wassail you
just say it's someone else
I know it's something I shouldn't do
but I'm not cool
I loved you when you walked down the aisle
I love you now and if it seems I act like a child
that's because I'm a child
like a child beneath your touch
I long for such as poets once sang
"I & she... desire in deity..."
Merry Christmas, I'm in love with you
I know it's awkward but it felt like something that I should do
is that cool?
I'm not expecting you to walk away
from my best friend, the one you married, but just in case:
I'd gladly take you away
I'm not here to change your mind
just needed to clear mine
just had to lay it all out for you
it's really no big deal
so please don't tell
I just wanted to say
Merry Christmas, actually

Really enjoyed this album. A neat mix of The Cure with vocals from the Cranberries. With a little shoe gaze thrown in for good measure. A very pleasing mix that is worth the time. Favorite Track: Jonatan Lagnar

Jo Bevan is one of the best singers in modern rock. The band is tight and talented and does some nifty post-punky style stuff. This album has some exceptional songs on it. rick-taylor
A truly original blend of haunting electronics and gothic drama mirroring the complex and unknowable nature of human emotions. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 30, 2023

Although I do agree I'd prefer more focus on the IRS era, this is a really solid collection of covers that delivers some unique takes. Totally inspired me to go back and listen to the original albums as well. Jean-Paul DuQuette
