‘Tis the season to be jolly, but as we’re all aware there’s a flipside to all the merriment. In remembrance of all the ones we’ve left behind or those who’ve left us to toil on this here mortal coil, this time of year can bring on all the melancholy an aching soul can endure. The surprise demo drop from songwriter Claire George called “tis the season for missing you” laments such longing experiences.
“Something about buying presents for the ones you love/ Makes you ache for the ones no longer on your list/ And something about seeing angels pressed out in the snow/ Makes you feel the absence of the ones you can’t be with…And I wish that it were white this Christmas/ But it’s turned to blue/ ‘Tis the season for missing you…”, George indelibly reminisces in a timeless Golden era style.
Critics and her fans alike largely know George as a top indie pop songwriter so it is no surprise that she uses her talents to craft a beautifully forlorn Holiday single. But is it all that sad of a tune? Depending on how you internalize this song, it could be a celebration of cherished memories…Decide for yourself and stream “tis the season for missing you”, here at your Merry ‘Lil GTC.
