Why Happy Christmas (War is Over) have to not be remade

Here what looked about the original 1971s Happy Christmas (Xmas is Over) from John Lennon at an effort to made stop the war in Vietnam.


But seriously, fifty-three years later, this message of peace and love became an overbearing corporative one, which is synonymous to the typical Christmas songs phoniness that use to play anywhere on radios, even on Spotify.

To be practically honest, I am no longer fond of the many Christmas songs, original or otherwise. The only place when it keep such distance and tolerance are in the animated programmings and shorts if it's appropriate (The same could be says about most classical music too). Lennon and Yoko Hono have wrote this song in his Post-Beatles time, by be a pacifist and activist for the rights of people. But fewer sources maintain that John Lennon wasn't actually the peacemaker that was often populated.

That may explain some who kinda drive crazy anytime Imagine been played over and over. To me, it illustrate an artist at his finest form, by be a personal and artistic tune than a corporate one.

But where goes the useful to repatched his iconic Christmas song decades later, by be more cynical and irritated than what he do originally envisionned? To my part, the best Christmas songs have to earning some sincerity and topical matters of the time these songs been made. If frankly, I can't longer stand these faux-Broadway musical bits that are associated on Christmas or the modern-day, out-of-synth ones with singers who loud all its lines, to not hide such hacking talent. 

Iconic Holidays songs of the 20th century like 23 Décembre (Beau Dommage), Marie-Noël (Robert Charlebois) Noël at Jerusalem, (Originally wrote by Enrico Macias and then, revived by Mario Pelchat by be a God believer) Last Christmas! (The only version that is really great is the original WHAM's one) ex-Beatle Paul McCartney Wonderful Christmas Time and even by its constant hate on social media, Mariah Carrey was able to keep the yuletide timeless without it looks too elaborate or an improvised spectacle by known what make the Christmas spirit work in singing.

But Happy Christmas (Xmas Is Over)...? It don't have to be remade and remade year after year. The sadistic music industry has put lots of Christmas songs remakes Albums over the years at the point it been so interchangeable, either for fans and the artists themselves. It's become close to extortion for the many creators who known the profiles that music is not another kind of merchandising.

That shows why I have no business with Spotify, for the way royalties remains murky for any creators all around. It also speaks volumes of the artistic futility, blandness and mediocrity people eat it for too long.

So, Merry Christmas to all of yours and here's some cartoons gems for celebrate this:
