The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection Taylor Swift – Ing Walter Kraml – Linz, Austria
Hi everybody,
I’m from Austria and I bought this CD for my daughter (she is crazy about the songs on this disc) from the US because it’s impossible to have in Europe. The shipment was very fast and absolutely without problems as well as the payment.
Greetings from Austria
Walter
Swifty does it, again. It’s impossible for her to put out bad music. Sure, there are only six songs on this album; but quantity does not equal quality. Taylor should be commended for her integrity in never stuffing filler songs in her albums.
Songs:
1. “Last Christmas” starts the album off with a bang! (or should I say Wham!?;) Taylor’s cover of George Michael’s holiday classic has a more upbeat tempo and fun, rock and roll edge along with a tongue-in-cheek gender turn, but still perfectly conveying her persona of heart-on-her-sleeve vulnerability.
2. “Christmases When You Were Mine”. First of the two new Taylor songs on this album slows down the mood. The usual great lyrics from team Swift/Rose in a monologue to a broken-up lover and the Christmas memories they shared.
3. “Santa Baby”. Playing the materialistic vixen perfectly. I like the tongue-in-cheek allusion, “one more thing I need, the deed, to a platinum mine”. Judging by the number of platinum albums she has, I’d say TayTay’s got that covered.
4. “Silent Night”. Beautiful, spiritual, uplifting. Perfect song for her voice. Like an angel singing.
5. “Christmas Must Be Something More”. The other new Taylor song, upbeat tempo, worth the price of the entire album. Taylor gets a lot of inspiration from fairy tales, this one’s from the Dr. Seuss classic “The Grinch That Stole Christmas”, but of course, putting her own unique spin: “So here’s to the birthday boy who saved our lives”. Taylor’s not afraid to show her spiritual, Christian values here, where she downplays the commercialism and materialism that Christmas has become (in stark contrast to track 3 “Santa Baby”). The great artists, like Taylor Swift, remind us of the Truth with their art.
6. “White Christmas”. Nice quiet, peaceful ending with this classic. : Limited edition holiday collection features six songs, including “Silent Night”, “Last Christmas” and “Christmases When You Were Mine”!
