Loved this song from when it came out. Sadly no longer have the original single, but always play it on December 1st. Alan Murphy's guitar as ever just haunting and beautiful and Preston Haymans drumming is just spot on. Happy December 2024.🎉
Absolutely and completely, this song is a masterpiece. Kate, at 19 years of age delivered a mesmerising and hauntingly beautiful piece of work that stands tall to this day.
My favourite Christmas song ever. It was 79 I was 20 in love Christmas was coming and here was Kate with a spine tingling masterpiece. It’s never left me, I play this and it all floods back. Now in my 60s looking at the utter mess and insanity of 2023 I’d go back even in my 60s to that time in a heartbeat. If I was offered a choice I’d go back without a doubt. The only thing I’m looking for to in 2023 is death. I LOATHE this era so much.
This song of Kate's is my favourite Christmas song. I don't know why they don't play it on the radio on Christmas. Instead we can only hear overplayed and clishéd Wham! and Mariah Carey.🤦
I still own the 45 RPM single of this Kate Bush song (December Will Be Magic Again) with that exact same picture cover sleeve seen in the video. Bought it from Woolworths (remember them? ) when it first came out in time for Christmas 1980 when I was a mere lad of....on second thoughts, let's not go there? I was a secret Kate Bush fan who bought all her albums but pretended to like bands like The Stranglers' and 'Stiff Little Fingers' if anyone asked me at school....oh the pretensions of my boyhood. Now this song brings back nostalgic memories of my youth, my family and our Christmas celebrations together in simpler more joyous times. Both my parents are gone now but this tune squeezes those 'member berries' and gives me a lump in my throat. It's all good though. PS. You can NEVER cancel Christmas. Despite what the bleeping government says!
I love Kate, from the moment I first saw and heard her on Top of the pops,, this song is brilliant in words and music ,Kate expresses her feeling in every song, you can just hear that in her voice everytime , no one can ,or has not matched her yet . So unique, and always will be .
December will be magic again Take a husky to the ice While Bing Crosby sings White Christmas He makes you feel nice December will be magic again Old Saint Nicholas up the chimney Just a-popping up in my memory Ooh, dropping down in my parachute The white city, she is so beautiful Upon the black-sooticicled roofs Ooh, and see how I fall See how I fall (Fall!) Like the snow Come to cover the lovers (Cover the lovers but don't you wake them up) Come to sparkle the dark up (Sparkle the dark up with just a touch of make-up) Come to cover the muck up (Cover the muck up, ooh, with a little luck) December will be magic again Light the candle-lights To conjure Mr. Wilde Into the Silent Night Ooh, it's quiet inside Here in Oscar's mind December will be magic again Don't miss the brightest star Kiss under mistletoe I want to hear you laugh Don't let the mystery go now Ooh, dropping down in my parachute The white city, she is so beautiful Upon the black-soot icicled roofs Ooh, and see how I fall See how I fall (Fall!) Like the snow Come to cover the lovers (Cover the lovers but don't you wake them up) Come to sparkle the dark up (Sparkle the dark up with just a touch of make-up) Come to cover the muck up (Cover the muck up, ooh, with a little luck) Oh, I'm coming to cover the lovers Ooh, and I'm coming to sparkle the dark up Ooh, and I'm coming to cover the muck up
Thanks for uploading this straightforward single version all the way back in 2013! It's the Christmas hit that really should have been huge! One of the finest I've ever heard.
Love it so much , so christmassy , so underrated, needs to be played more and more people will get to love it , great stuff !🎅⛄🎄🎁🥳👍, I love Kate's Bush 😁, little joke there -MERRY CRISTMAS ALL ❄😘🤗
I looked for this on her channel (I'm assuming KateBushMusic is her channel) but couldn't find it. I always prefer to play songs from the artist's channel.
why do they not play this on Christmas all we hear is Brenda Lee with rocking,around the christmas tree and Mariah Carey with all I want for Christmas is you 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Well it wasn't magic , was it Katy ? Burned my pies and had to throw out my kitchen bin because it melted as it was beside the oven, you're owe me a bin Bush .
Thank you for uploading this song. I love Kate Bush and always will.

I have this as a 45 record, in its original cover, memories of 1980s Christmases. 🎄🎶❤️
Its that time again - to play this classic

Thanks for this.Alexa won't play it. Never on the radio. One of my favourite Christmas songs.Conjures up lovely images and memories.
This kind of genius becomes more remarkable and precious every year

You are not alone in your feelings.

My all time favourite Christmas song.❤
Genius......merry Christmas all
Nostalgia alert! I remember my mum playing this single every year...
Goodness me I haven't heard this tune in decades! Such an underrated classic.

She must have upset the powers that be….
To be fair, many of her songs are not simplistic and predictable enough for a mainstream audience (well, such is the case here in America at least)
December will be hell again
Take me to outside
While Mariah Carey sings "All I Want for Christmas Is You"
She makes you feel mad
@@uzrider AGREED XD

Pure genius from the Queen of music!

I've still got my original copy too. It's absolute genius. How come so few know about this amazing record!

My favourite Christmas song
One of my Kate & Christmas favorites
The sound of my childhood
Beautiful song
December will be magic again
Take a husky to the ice
While Bing Crosby sings White Christmas
He makes you feel nice
December will be magic again
Old Saint Nicholas up the chimney
Just a-popping up in my memory
Ooh, dropping down in my parachute
The white city, she is so beautiful
Upon the black-sooticicled roofs
Ooh, and see how I fall
See how I fall (Fall!)
Like the snow
Come to cover the lovers (Cover the lovers but don't you wake them up)
Come to sparkle the dark up (Sparkle the dark up with just a touch of make-up)
Come to cover the muck up (Cover the muck up, ooh, with a little luck)
December will be magic again
Light the candle-lights
To conjure Mr. Wilde
Into the Silent Night
Ooh, it's quiet inside
Here in Oscar's mind
December will be magic again
Don't miss the brightest star
Kiss under mistletoe
I want to hear you laugh
Don't let the mystery go now
Ooh, dropping down in my parachute
The white city, she is so beautiful
Upon the black-soot icicled roofs
Ooh, and see how I fall
See how I fall (Fall!)
Like the snow
Come to cover the lovers (Cover the lovers but don't you wake them up)
Come to sparkle the dark up (Sparkle the dark up with just a touch of make-up)
Come to cover the muck up (Cover the muck up, ooh, with a little luck)
Oh, I'm coming to cover the lovers
Ooh, and I'm coming to sparkle the dark up
Ooh, and I'm coming to cover the muck up
Even the lyrics are magical. Kate Bush is a true artist. Thanks for loading this up
You need the lyrics... the stuff i thought she was singing!
a bit of sparkly Christmas magic from Kate

I love the magic mushrooms on the reindeer saddles. Magic mushrooms, magic December! Only magic Kate Bush! ❤❤❤
Love it so much , so christmassy , so underrated, needs to be played more and more people will get to love it , great stuff !🎅⛄🎄🎁🥳👍, I love Kate's Bush 😁, little joke there -MERRY CRISTMAS ALL ❄😘🤗
I was wondering if kate had December/holiday music. Sweet.
I looked for this on her channel (I'm assuming KateBushMusic is her channel) but couldn't find it. I always prefer to play songs from the artist's channel.
Gems like this just remind me of how everything is awful compared to then. Society has become so soulless and broken. Not on Spotify either!
why do they not play this on Christmas all we hear is Brenda Lee with rocking,around the christmas tree and Mariah Carey with all I want for Christmas is you 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
I wonder how many people know about the Kate Bush Christmas special on RUclips?
Well it wasn't magic , was it Katy ? Burned my pies and had to throw out my kitchen bin because it melted as it was beside the oven, you're owe me a bin Bush .
