Christmas is a time of reflection, a time to catch up with friends and family, and also a time to remember those we don’t see or perhaps can’t see anymore. And so, “Reminisce” celebrates that aspect of these end-of-year celebrations.
It is a gentle, soulful piece of acoustica, one that seems to drift through the consciousness, a sentiment put to music, a nostalgic yet nuanced piece of music, one that perhaps gets to the heart of the spirit of Christmas far more than those songs full of baubles and tinsel, snow, and turkey.
It reminds us of what is essential, not just at Christmas but in life in general, all year round, and over all years. Friendship and family, memories to recall and remind us that we have lived life to the full and done it in the company of people that we cherish.
If you listen to one Christmas song this year, make it this. If you listen to two, make it this one… twice!
