And the bells were ringing out for Christmas Day!

It’s that time of year again. The time of year when we remember the incomparable Kirsty McColl, and the beautiful harmonies she made with The Pogues’s Shane MacGowan. Here is quite possibly one of the most beautifully heartbreaking songs ever written. It’s been done over many times, but no one so convincingly sings of hardened lives yet undying love and hope for something better than McColl and MacGowan.

Happy Christmas!
