(You should be able to play the whole track above. If not, try <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/kindnesses\">Kindness on Myspace<\/a> or the <a href=\"http:\/\/pitchfork.com\/forkcast\/13263-gabriel\/\">Pitchfork blog post<\/a> where I found it.)<\/p>\n<p>Although lyrically apt, it&#8217;s not a Christmas song as such. But this is the year we were reminded that seemingly any tune has the potential to be picked up, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/commentisfree\/2009\/dec\/21\/charlie-brooker-rage-against-the-machine\">redefined<\/a> and &#8211; without touching the contents &#8211; &#8220;remixed&#8221; into a Christmas tune, purely by presenting it in a different context.<\/p>\n<p>So there goes. It sounds wintery and ultimately it&#8217;s a Christmas song to me because I&#8217;m listening to it and posting it here.<\/p>\n<p>The festival of Christmas itself is a remix anyway &#8211; of older winter festivals&#8230; Enjoy it and make sure your version is a righteous one.<\/p>\n<p>Back to the music. If the song sounds familiar, that&#8217;s because it&#8217;s a cover version of the original Gabriel, the classic 2-step garage tune by Roy Davis Jnr and Peven Everett (<a href=\"http:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/6MoMGNgl3vDKZ3IQaHUvjr\">Spotify<\/a>\ufeff \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aqYcxf-RHzU\">YouTube<\/a>). The original&#8217;s gospel roots are a lot more obvious. Like a lot of good gospel music it sounds like it&#8217;s caught between Saturday night, in the club, and Sunday morning &#8211; in church.<\/p>\n<p>Nadolig Llawen!
