Listen "Those Who Didn't Arrive"
Episode Synopsis
2023's Christmas song, written by Jamie and Paul Milburn.
Lyrics:
Feeling awful, feeling numb
Feeling sadness over someone
Oh the emptiness inside
Has left me cold
To think about the many who won’t grow old
What’s the use in Merry Christmas and the sentiment it brings?
What’s the point in singing Christmas songs? And who likes carolling?
It’s the ones who have a family, it’s the ones who love them so
It’s the ones who sing "White Christmas" when there’s seldom any snow
It’s beginning to look a lot like just another time of year
When you don’t miss any presents and there presence isn’t here
I’ve been dreaming of a night when they would magically appear
And they tell me not to worry, have no fear
Because once a year we all appear
To find our way to Christmas day
We’re the ones who made it out alive
Here’s to those who didn’t arrive
Feeling pointless, feeling rough
Life disappoints us, life is tough
And though the tears they may have dried the pain lives on
Laced within the memories of a time before you were gone
Oh I wish it could be different but alas it isn’t so
So forget the decorations kiss goodbye to mistletoe
All I want for each and everyone is peace and love tonight
And the strength to rediscover that the world’s still full of light
It’s beginning to look a lot like just another time of year
When you don’t miss any presents and there presence isn’t here
I’ve been dreaming of a night when they would magically appear
And they tell me not to worry; have no fear
Because once a year we all appear
To find our way to Christmas day
We’re the ones who made it out alive
Here’s to those who didn’t arrive
Because once a year we all appear
To find our way to Christmas day
We’re the ones who made it out alive
Here’s to those who didn’t arrive
