You may remember this song from the first A Very Special Christmas album in 1987. It's the beautiful, haunting Coventry Carol by Alison Moyet. Sorely overlooked as far as I know. But in the company of songs like U2's Baby Please Come Home, Whitney Houston's Do You Hear What I Hear, and Bruce Springsteen's Merry Christmas Baby, it's easy to see why it's been overshadowed all these years. A shame. But I hope that showing you this video rectifies that, even on a small level. Enjoy:

So I'll bring you someone else's. In the spirit of expanding this blog to being more than just sharity (and yes, I'll get to steppin' on that aspect soon), I just now came up with the idea of posting Christmas videos to make up for the paucity of holiday tunes I can share.
