Bryan Adams was already popular in Canada when the release of his third album 'Cuts Like A Knife' in 1983 brought him a large following in the USA. His fourth album, 'Reckless', often referred to as one of the most significant of the 1980s, sold over 4 million copies at the time and continues to sell now. His fifth album 'Into the Fire' went platinum.
'Waking Up The Neighbours', his sixth album in 1991, powered him to international stardom. The single '(Everything I Do) I Do For You' spent 16 weeks at number 1; it broke a UK record that had stood since 1955 and still stands today. Across in the USA it became the second largest selling single to 'We Are The World'. The song was featured in the film 'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves' (1991) and for this Mr Adams received his first Academy Award nomination. He was also nominated for a Golden Globe.
42 film Directors' have used Adams' music as soundtrack - from A Night In Heaven (1983) to Bobby (2007).
Adams was awarded the C.M. (Member of the Order of Canada) on April 20th 1998 and the C.O. (Officer of the Order of Canada) on May 6th 1988 for his contribution to popular music and his philanthropic work. He was also inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame in 1998, and more recently inducted into the Music Hall of Fame at Canada's Juno Awards (the Canadian equivalent of the Grammys) in April 2006. Notably, Adams refuses to attend the awards; as his manager, Bruce Allen explains: "they turned their back on the biggest thing to come out of Canada"--in reference to the hit '(Everything I Do) I Do For You'.
Adams has been nominated for three Academy Awards for songwriting, and was recently nominated for his fifth Golden Globe (2007) for his songwriting in the film 'Bobby'.

Christmas Time
Bryan Adams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For the day to appear
We could be together in harmony
You know the time will come
Peace on earth for everyone
And we can live forever
In a world where we are free
There's something about Christmas time
Something about Christmas time
That makes you wish it was Christmas everyday
To see the joy in the children's eyes
The way that the old folks smile
Says that Christmas will never go away
We're all as one tonight
Makes no difference if you're black or white
'Cause we can sing together in harmony
I know it's not too late
The world would be a better place
If we can keep the spirit
More than one day in the year
Send a message loud and clear
There's something about Christmas time
Something about Christmas time
That makes you wish it was Christmas everyday
To see the joy in the children's eyes
The way that the old folks smile
Says that Christmas will never go away
It's the time of year when everyone's together
We'll celebrate here on Christmas day
When the ones you love are there
You can feel the magic in the air
You know it's everywhere
There's something about Christmas time
There's something about Christmas time
There's something about Christmas time
There's something about Christmas time
That makes you wish it was Christmas every day
To see the joy in the children's eyes
The way that the old folks smile

There's something about Christmas time
Something about Christmas time
That makes you wish it was Christmas everyday
To see the joy in the children's eyes
The way that the old folks smile
Says that Christmas will never go away
Please tell me Christmas will never go away
The lyrics of Bryan Adams's "Christmas Time" describe a sacred, magical time of the year where people can forget their troubles, get together and sing, and enjoy each other's company. The opening verse sets the scene for the anticipation and excitement felt leading up to Christmas day when families and friends can be reunited and spend time in harmony. The lyrics further emphasize the theme of unity and peace on Earth with lines like "We're all as one tonight, makes no difference if you're black or white" and "If we can keep the spirit / More than one day in the year / Send a message loud and clear." Adams encourages listeners to believe that the magic of Christmas can transcend the holiday and continue throughout the year if people hold onto the spirit of love, joy, and togetherness.
The chorus declares that there's something special, that something about Christmas time that makes everyone wish it was Christmas every day. It could be the way children's eyes sparkle with joy or how the elderly smile with nostalgia and warmth. These are signs that the spirit of Christmas will never fade away, and the memories and emotions it brings are powerful enough to carry us through the rest of the year. The song concludes with a plea to keep the magic and spirit of Christmas alive and well every day, not just during the holiday season.

Im a 90βs Baby but Bryan Adams will still always have a special place in my heart

Wow you just commented exactly what I wanted to comment. Fistbump, two people same thought
@SpaLaLand
@@lillekenatnek195 fistbump from me, as well.
@reemoe23
But wouldn't you be more of a 70s baby (as I am), considering the song was released in 1985? Adams is one of my favorite artists, who was at his peak during my middle and high school years (1984-1991).

Exactly. I feel i was born in the wrong generation

Still one of the top 5 Christmas songs in my book. Love it.

@@LuisGarcia160510 It's the most Wonderful time of the year (Andy Williams), Sleigh Ride (Ronettes), The Seasons upon Us (Dropkick Murphy), and Do they know it's Christmas (Band Aid). I do like Cany Cane Lane , Feliz Navidad, and Ode to Joy. Even though it's not considered a Christmas song, I always love listening to it during the holidays.
