Being Alone at Christmas
Miss Montreal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pa pa pa pa, pa pa pa pa, pa pa pa pa pa pa
Singing bells and snowy streets
All around the world
Happy faces everywhere
But your bed is cold
Being alone at Christmas doesn't have to be a bad thing
Singing songs all for yourself
Some brandy, no one's leaving
And ooh you're alone tonight
Ooh no Christmas lights
No kisses, hugs, no love, no luck
Christmas a delight
Things will be okay
You'll see you won't be lonely
Maybe next year you and me
Around the Christmas tree
Embrace yourself like no one else could
Being alone at Christmas doesn't have to be a bad thing
Singing songs all for yourself
Some brandy, no one's leaving
Being alone at Christmas doesn't have to be a bad thing
Singing songs all for yourself
Some brandy, no one's leaving
Being alone at Christmas doesn't have to be a bad thing
Singing songs all for yourself
Some brandy, no one's leaving
And ooh you're alone tonight
And ooh no Christmas lights
No kisses, hugs, no love, no luck
Christmas a delight
Christmas what a fight
We will be alright
Pa pa pa pa, pa pa pa pa, pa pa pa pa pa pa
Pa pa pa pa, pa pa pa pa, pa pa pa pa pa pa
The lyrics of Miss Montreal's song Being Alone With Christmas speak about the feeling of loneliness during the holiday season. While everyone is enjoying their time with loved ones and surrounded by the warmth of the season, the person in the song is in a cold and empty bed, feeling left out of the joyous mood.
The chorus encourages the person to embrace themselves and find comfort in being alone. They suggest singing songs, enjoying brandy, and not having to worry about anyone leaving. The lyrics promote the idea of self-love and acceptance, even in a time when it seems the rest of the world is together and happy.
The bridge offers a glimmer of hope, reminding the person that things will be okay, and they won't always have to be alone. The suggestion of "maybe next year you and me around the Christmas tree" offers the possibility of finding someone to spend the holidays with in the future.
Overall, the song is a message of comfort and encouragement for those who may feel left out or alone during the holiday season. It suggests that being alone does not have to be a bad thing and that self-love and acceptance are key to finding joy and happiness, even in the darkest of times.

Ik hoor net op de radio dit liedje en hoor voor t eerst de tekst. Goed geschreven, er zijn een heleboel mensen die alleen zijn met kerst. Voor jullie proost en een zalig kerstfeest, voel je niet alleen, maar doe alles om jezelf in de watten te leggen en geniet. Merry Christmas!

Eindelijk weer eens een kerstsong die we over een jaar of tien terug zullen vinden op de kerst-verzamelc.d.'s. Een potentiële klassieker. Tot 12 dec. in de W2 Den Bosch, Sanne !
