Robbie Williams explains how “miserable a year” everyone has had in his new song Can’t Stop Christmas. That people “feel like we are at war”.
Williams sang the lines “Let’s lie to Santa, let’s call him 1984” in the song.
Robbie Williams released a Christmas song about trying to survive the festive period in the coronavirus age.
The track entitled Can’t Stop Christmas tells about how “miserable a year” everyone went through and people “felt as if we were at war”.
Later, Williams questions whether families should allowed to meet at Christmas: “I wonder who will decide / if we can say ‘Auld Lang Syne.”
On the other hand, as the choir voices a call to rally that “nothing” will stop Christmas, Williams says:
“You can’t take this period away / As you can’t take away the wine / Santa’s sleigh / But now there are two meters in between.”
Throughout the song, other references to the pandemic are made, Williams says he will write “socks and disinfectant” on the wish list, while the choir describes the dystopian time we are in:
“Let’s lie to Santa / Let’s call him 1984.”
The Can’t Stop Christmas track will feature in the new version of Williams’ 2019 album The Christmas Present, featuring duets with Rod Stewart, Bryan Adams, Jamie Cullum and even Tyson Fury. A 2017 internet mime that showed Williams using hand sanitizer during a New Year’s Eve performance was back in circulation this year during the global pandemic.
