Another Lonely Christmas

So I'm driving to work this morning, listening to Holiday Soul on XM and I thought, "I sure wish they'd play Another Lonely Christmas" and BAM! it came up on the very next song. Cool to hear it on the radio, but sandwiched in between all the other holly jolly Christmas music, it's a bit of a downer. lol

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

IMO, the holly jolly is a downer too. So tired of the holiday music. lol

It is a downer, but they play "Last Christmas" every third song, so why isn't this in rotation?? I guess it's relatively obscure, while Wham's song is on every christmas collection.

It's a 'Christmas' song but not a "Christmas Song'

It's like a movie that is set during the Christmas holiday, or a period of it, but not officially a Christmas story

It's easily as song that can be played anytime.

Great example of fictional storytelling through music.

Raspberry Beret, Joy in Repetition, and Cherry Cherry (yes, I know most people dislike it) are other good ones from Prince.

Ballad of Dorothy Parker, Darling Nikki, Uptown (might be partial truth), Uptown, definately great storytelling thru song

Always wanted to be the one taking this still. Beautiful photo. Haven't gotten an insight in2 ALC and what it relates to. There might be something in the thought that we all have two birthdays - when we are born and when we 'die'. What a great time to have been around during the Purple Rain days.
