Twelve Days of Christmas Music: Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)

A lot of artists have offered us their versions of this Christmas classic first sung by Darlene Love.



However, as good as some of them have been, most are quite faithful renditions which only serve to remind us of how great the original is. Why do it if it only makes listeners wonder why you had to mess with something perfect?

Then there are some which don't try to compete with the song, they use the affection and memory you have of it to take you somewhere new.



The Raveonettes have taken a classic and made if sound like icicles and snowfall in a way reminiscent of The Cocteau Twins' take on Frosty The Snowman. Who doesn't love a little ambient shoegazy goodness this time of year?
