I’m taking a little detour from my “Women in Rock” history series, to post some of my favorite Christmas songs. I do this each year, and some of the songs have appeared in previous years. But then that’s part of the point of Christmas music.
christmas elvis is on repeat every december in this house, the holidays wouldnt be the same without it! subscribed, excited to discover more music from you :)
i also have been writing festive musical musings on my newsletter, FRESH! let me know what you think:
I guessed from your name that you are Finnish or Estonian--is that right? If so, or even if not, if you love music you have to know about Nightwish. They are, in my opinion, the best rock band founded between roughly 1980 and 2010--a period of 30 years--and one of the greatest bands ever. Here is a post I did on them awhile back--it gives some history and a little background, and includes two clips. They are both over 10 min long, so get some popcorn and settle in. https://zapatosjam.substack.com/p/greatest-voices-8-floor-jansen-goes-21-12-03
What a great Martina/Elvis vid undertaking! Fun to watch the editing (the girl appearing to weep in Martina's general direction!), and the fade-in focus of one and the other as the camera goes from focusing on foreground El and back to background McBride! She must've had a blast taping that (and using a full can of AquaNet)!

I am Finnish and I have been hearing the call from the motherland lately. Trying to learn as much as I can, so obviously I need to explore the music. Guess I will go pop some popcorn and get started, lol.

I think the big hair is a basic requirement!
Nice surprise to find O Holy Night in Finnish! Thanks, and happy Christmas.
Thanks for stopping by. Are you a fan of NIghtwish? One of my favorite bands of all time and Finland's greatest cultural export!
I'm embarrassed to say I'm not familiar, but I am definitely going to check them out. I have a growing interest in all things Finnish.
