One of the most original Christmas compositions ever recorded, “Wonderful Christmastime” was the song that paved the way for synth-based holiday tracks and the chillwave genre. It has become such a Christmas classic that it’s easy to forget how ahead of the times it was. There was an irony to the monotonous, soulless vocal delivery of the festive lyrics that somehow seems to get lost in the holiday shuffle whenever it’s played.

“The moon is right. The spirits up. We're here tonight. And that's enough.”
