Written by Mike Batt, one of Britain’s greatest songwriters. ‘We wish you a Wimbling Merry Christmas’ was another one of his gems, and my personal Christmas favourite.
My Mum loved David Essex. We had to watch a bizarre sitcom where he was on a canal boat. It's nine years since Mum died, I miss her every single day (she was my best friend!) So I watch this for her. I miss you Mum!
My mum to also like that show or maybe David Essex. I hated it as a small boy. Now I would give it all to watch that show with my mum. Just one last time.
another underrated song that was associated with Christmas was keeping the dream alive by freiheit, very rarely heard in any Christmas music mix, i have one album from the 90s with it on.] very forgotten Christmas song.
@@darrenfroggatt9197 my mum use to play that one in the 90s when putting the christmas decorations up when we were kids. Love that one I'm glad it doesn't get played though as it's a little gem
Back in1982 my favourite radio programme on BBC Radio 2 was hosted by Terry Wogan. He absolutely adored this song and plugged it whenever he could. Thanks to Terry it rocketed into the charts. God Bless the late, great Terry Wogan. Thanks for everything Terry.
My mum loved Terry Wogan too! I remember growing up to his great breakfast show on radio, he was so funny, but also nice. His video of "The Floral Dance" always has me in stitches, half way through he sort of corpses as if to say "Why am I here, singing this song? Oh well, better carry on." A great man.
X so sorry for loss of dear dad I hope u OK this song does same for me too I lost my dear husband last new year eve 2022 so my thoughts are with lots of love xxx❤😢
I‘m sorry for your loss. I have lost my Dad this year, too and miss him especially this time of the year. Keep all the good memories. Our beloved ones will never be gone forever
Music business is as murky as any other. How else could a nonentity like Harry Styles become an international star? Capital Radio for example, played his songs relentlessly over the past year, and dropped his name at least once between every single record they played, like there was some kind of commercially driven campaign to make Harry Styles “happen” by beating audiences into submission.
My ex-(now late) wife knew David Essex (as David Cook), they grew up as teenagers on the same housing estate in Chadwell Heath and had many fond memories of parties that they, and friends, attended.
MY FRIEND,S OUR PARENT,S LIVE ON WITH US IN OUR HEART,S SO REMEMBER THEM WITH A SMILE ON YOUR FACE AND ALL THE HAPPY TIMES YOU,V HAD WITH THEM . PEACE BE WITH YOU MY FRIEND'S AT THIS CHRISTMAS TIME. 🌟🎄🧑🎄🙏✌️😎🏴
I, am 46 years old now, and i remember i was 8 years old, mum and dad went shopping, i was home with my granny, lord rest her, this ❤️ song came on the radio, and i stiil remember remember it now.
Reminds me of childhood Christmasses whenever all my grandparents were still with us wistful and nostalgia for things gone forever as well as my own childhood
I like David Essex songs another was silver dream quite fitting really as I love motorcycles racing etc,the year this beautiful song came out ,round my aunt Phillis family playing cards at Christmas and my larger than life brother comes in drunk as a lord singing winter's tale everybody fell about laughing great kid memories for me wish I could turn the clock back again to the 80s better times then👌👍🇬🇧💂💯😘😜😊
Brilliant lyrics. Having loved and lost someone whom I still misss nearly 50 years on, it always triggers the emotions no matter how much time may have passed.
I'm so sorry! You were only 12 then! My youngest sister was 16, and getting in a bit of bother, so she wasn't in a good place then. We lost her as well 8 years ago when she was 59, to a very aggressive cancer, that the doctors missed for too long.
My Aunt passed away in October of this year, 94 yrs . this song was played at the end of the funeral..obviously a favourite of hers...God Bless Auntie, til we meet again...❤🙏🕯✝️🇬🇧
I suppose this isn't jangly enough to be a radio Christmas favourite, but I put it on every Christmas or Winter playlist I make, because I just love it. The lyrics and vocals are wonderful.
i loved the 80's for music, and the snow as well. will never forget the love i had for this country then, the atmosphere, the current life. it was magical. i miss those times.
Those times were great. I remember getting snowed in for 3 weeks at a time when I was a child. We even had 5 foot snow drifts as well. . This video was filmed somewhere on Dartmoor and as I grew up on the edge of Dartmoor we would often get snow. That's something I miss now.
I literally survived to this song, I slept with this song playing on repeat for about 2 years, I would have not slept without it, sad memory's but still love it
Me too, who couldn’t love all his music and all he achieved in the west end. And the most gorgeous pop star from the 70,s that I had the privilege to meet on a couple of occasions. Such a normal man to have a drink with. Happy memories David..
Definitely One of The Best Christmas songs Ever! : My Favourite! : Written By The Genius Mike Batt And Excellently Performed By David Essex! : Excellent Artist! : The video is brilliant!
Beautiful song. Little known fact - Mike Batt introduced David to the Wombles and he actually lived with them for a short while, helping them to keep Wimbledon Common spick and span. He says his time with the Wombles really helped him get over the breakup.
I can't believe I heard it this year for the first time, performing by a brass band. Fell in love instantly, it was released in 1983, the year I was born.
my youngest is 17 hes familiar with Winters Tale,particularl favourite of his as well as t.Rex , Wizard all sorts from that era.His all time fav is Hit the road jack Ray charles- I think its what they hear as their growing up that grasps their attention so yea theres still youngsters out there is what im saying that love it just like us.
The lyrics are the best especially with this video.We lost are border collie,,brought a tear to my eyes listening to this and seeing the collie running around reminds me of her.
It breaks my heart every time I listen to this song, when I was in college many decades ago l fell in love with a beautiful lady, after leaving the college l haven't seen my sweetheart for about 45 years, l tried on Facebook but no luck, l wish l could meet her one more time. She might be married got children and l can understand things can never be like in the past but it would be great to have met just for good times sake, so many people say to me move on but it can be hard, maybe as time goes on l will move on but l will never forget her.
Keep trying, I hope you meet up again. She might even be single. The love of my life, my wife, died nearly five years ago. I can never see her again in my lifetime. But perhaps you can see yours.
I know what your saying,I'm in the same position. Not seen the beautiful lady Ioved her but didn't have the courage to ask her for a date,even a few of us who finished high school together, she was one of them,went to the fair didn't try to hold her hand then,was very shy in them days.Often think of her where is she now married kids,grandkids?My loss.
A magical song, I would like to send love to my dear late Mum as I listen to this again and again, we love and miss you so much Mum and Dad, always in our hearts
David is a very talented actor, singer, musical performer & has great writing talent. I believe this song was written by Mike Batt. It’s a really lovely Christmas song..timeless.David vocals are gorgeous 🎄🎄⛄️🤩👌👏
I had the pleasure of seeing and meeting David Essex, in the early 1970s, when he was performing in Godspell, I was in a Youth Choir back then, the whole Choir went to see David in Godspell, because we were going to perform Jesus Christ Superstar, in our local Catholic Church, and we were seeing how to perform in a play like this, Memorable time! This song should have been a Number One.
This song a winters tail. is one of his best songs of all time. It's the words to the song that makes this outstanding. sending best wishes to Mr David Essex 👍👍👍👍
Absolute endless classic not like the Christmas songs of today where the lyrics mean completely nothing songs like this bring memories of loved ones who have past on
My ninety nine year old aunt loves this track. She let on that she did so way back in 1995 when i was playing it when putting Christmas decorations up. I managed to buy it for her from a record shop i used to go to but got HORRIBLY skitted by the boy behind the counter for buying this David Essex single, i having bought such as Pink Floyd, David Bowie and Rainbow, from the shop. Oh and by the way, Aunt is still alive.
My Mum loved David Essex, this is one of my favourite Christmas songs simply because of her, I miss her every day and I can't hear this without a tear in my eye.. I just wish it got more recognition. Simply beautiful.
![David Essex - Winters Tale [London]](/img/1.gif)
Such an underrated song it hardly ever gets played at Christmas yet in my opinion it’s one of the best.
Just brilliant.
A bit like A Spaceman Came Travelling
Ooh yes , I'll listen to that next !@@samisticlife
the 'underrated' fetish out the traps fast...reliably so..
Totally agree
Written by Mike Batt, one of Britain’s greatest songwriters.
‘We wish you a Wimbling Merry Christmas’ was another one of his gems, and my personal Christmas favourite.

My mother also died 9yrs ago (10 in April). She loved this song
I thought he was a lock keeper on the canal , but I could be wrong
I used to watch that show your lovely mum used to watch. It was called the river. Very good series. Sending my best wishes to you ❣️
August 2024 anyone?
Never too early for classic Christmas songs and this is one of the best but so underrated.
Listening in Sept 2024. I listen to it often just for the memories it evokes. It is beautiful!
1982. When the world was a nice place to be.
Definitely one of the most underrated Christmas songs. My current favourite.

Terry Wogan was a lovely man. A gentleman. He had the same birthday as me. Sadly missed
He died while I was moving house and I was so look forward to listening to him in our new home , while I worked. I was gutted.
RIP Terry. Great song David.
Terry Wogan was a big fan of Mike Batt and gave his songs as much airtime as he could!
"I hope that love and strength are with you for the length of your time on earth" - beautiful line.
One of my favourite singers all through my growing up in the sixties &seventies.
I'm listening to this having lost my father 2 weeks ago. Miss you forever dad, sleep well and until we meet again "I love you" x
So sorry. 😢
X so sorry for loss of dear dad I hope u OK this song does same for me too I lost my dear husband last new year eve 2022 so my thoughts are with lots of love xxx❤😢
Condolences to you you and your family . I know from experience it’s a very difficult time
Godspeed to you 🌏🙏
I‘m sorry for your loss. I have lost my Dad this year, too and miss him especially this time of the year.
Keep all the good memories. Our beloved ones will never be gone forever
It's not just another Christmas song, but a beautiful song that reminds me of my childhood and it's fantastic.
Thanks to Mike Batt
Superb song so uplifting and encouraging
It was a song that separates
yes mate. i feel your vibe too.
This song came I was 13 yrs old..I'm 54 yrs old now and my journey continues..
Can't understand why this classic doesn't get the recognition an airtime it deserves. 🤷♂️🤷♂️
You've got to be kidding this is the worst dirge ever made and it plagues supermarkets every m*therf#cking year! 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

They play it non stop at Xmas on smooth radio
@@nacekozo thanks for the information. Guess what I'm listening to next Christmas 😘🤗
It is played every Xmas. What more do you want?
One of my favourite Christmas songs. Very melancholic and at the same time its a great melody.
My ex-(now late) wife knew David Essex (as David Cook), they grew up as teenagers on the same housing estate in Chadwell Heath and had many fond memories of parties that they, and friends,
attended.
A real favourite means so much to me, a love lost
Painful memories a love lost but a beautiful song😢 love David Essex
My dad and I listened to this song the year my mom died in December. He's also gone now and the song leaves bittersweet memories.
I know my parents have passed too one 23 years ago aged 61 from alzheimers my Dad 4 years ago aged 92 .we will remember our parents forever
MY FRIEND,S OUR PARENT,S LIVE ON WITH US IN OUR HEART,S SO REMEMBER THEM WITH A SMILE ON YOUR FACE AND ALL THE HAPPY TIMES YOU,V HAD WITH THEM . PEACE BE WITH YOU MY FRIEND'S AT THIS CHRISTMAS TIME. 🌟🎄🧑🎄🙏✌️😎🏴
How sad when you lose your love ones you don't care about Christmas all you wanna be alone and cry

Bless you all xxxx
Hauntingly beautiful song, sung by the impeccable David Essex.

True my friend, going back in time is something magical........ i wish you luck...my god bless you.
Me too John..me too
One of the most underrated songs ever.
Had a curry once with the bloke who played the clarinet on this track, really nice guy and really nice curry....
Wow that's fantastic 👍
I thought it was an oboe
remember those who are lonely and have thought to choice of alone too x we differ x
Doesn’t David Remind You Of The Dashing ‘Heathcliff’ From Wuthering Heights! 🤭😍
He did have the gypsy style image back then.
That's what I thought
He
As I get older the more I like it
and what do you think of the song....
I, am 46 years old now, and i remember i was 8 years old, mum and dad went shopping, i was home with my granny, lord rest her, this ❤️ song came on the radio, and i stiil remember remember it now.

Happy Christmas everyone
It breaks my heart every time I listen to this song, when I was in college many decades ago l fell in love with a beautiful lady, after leaving the college l haven't seen my sweetheart for about 45 years, l tried on Facebook but no luck, l wish l could meet her one more time. She might be married got children and l can understand things can never be like in the past but it would be great to have met just for good times sake, so many people say to me move on but it can be hard, maybe as time goes on l will move on but l will never forget her.
Keep trying, I hope you meet up again. She might even be single. The love of my life, my wife, died nearly five years ago. I can never see her again in my lifetime. But perhaps you can see yours.
I know what your saying,I'm in the same position.
Not seen the beautiful lady Ioved her but didn't have the courage to ask her for a date,even a few of us who finished high school together, she was one of them,went to the fair didn't try to hold her hand then,was very shy in them days.Often think of her where is she now married kids,grandkids?My loss.
Yes. Unrequited love. I know that.
45 years of love, remember that love feeling is inside you. Enjoy it, some people have never found it.
You are making us all cry my friend. God bless you.

One of my favourite Christmas songs
A song that has meaning, and like other say under rated and miles better than singing about bloody sausage rolls at Christmas.
That's exactly my point. We should have proper recording artists for Christmas number 1 like any other time of year
Er, sorry but leave sausage rolls alone please! As sacred as any part of Christmas...
We wish you a Wombling Merry Christmas....!
Beautiful dog. Filmed on Dartmoor in the south-west of England, famous for the wild Dartmoor ponies.
Not many views.....Hasn't anyone heard of David Essex ? Great song....
Superb,memorable, a classic.

Tis the Season
Hope its good for you

Still there is no other Christmas 'Love' Song as like this , it tells how lonely people feels specially during Christmastime.
David Essex this song makes me cry. Amazing song...

My Mum loved David Essex, this is one of my favourite Christmas songs simply because of her, I miss her every day and I can't hear this without a tear in my eye.. I just wish it got more recognition. Simply beautiful.
The Xmas song for the shy awkward guys and girls who always dream every year of finding that one to spend it with.
What a great comment 👏. Happy New Year.
