Bleachers - 'Merry Christmas, Please Don't Call'

[old spice]

No love anywhere here for this recent offering which is fast working its way into my Christmas canon?



Lyrically it feels very Taylor Swift, but I'm glad that it's Jack's sombre baritone that's delivering these lines for us:

Don't hold me like you know me,
I would rather burn forever.

But you should know that I died slow,
Running through the halls of your haunted home.

Merry Christmas, I'm not yours at all.

I doubt it'll even make a dent in the public consciousness given the oncoming rush of the same ol' festive playlists, but it's capturing a whole damn mood for me and I'm claiming it as a future cult classic already.

WHO is this a hit with? I can't hear a word he's SAYING!

 

[Iguana]

But you should know that I died slow,
Running through the halls of your haunted home.

I relent that this bit is very good!

I really like this (and it is officially allowed now it is December), especially the bit when it lifts after the second chorus. I agree you could definitely hear Taylor singing it.
