On account of today being Christmas, Friday Morning Music arrives on Thursday this week.
Composed by Greg Lake with lyrics by Peter Sinfield this tune periodically gets an undeserved anti-religion rap. The truth of the matter is Lake wrote the song in protest of the commercialization of Christmas. Sinfield has insisted that the words are about the loss of innocence and childhood belief. So, I dunno. Combination of the two?
Released as a debut solo single in 1975 it reached Number 2 of the UK Singles Chart. This happens to be a YouTube Short compilation - full length recordings are available on YouTube.
I Believe In Father Christmas.....
