Have Yourself An Angsty Little Christmas


If you're anything like me, you have a whole playlist of Christmas songs to blast during this glorious (and hectic) time of year. And, if you couldn't already tell from reading this blog's bio, I'm addicted to angsty music. So my playlist has everything from My Chemical Romance's cover of All I Want For Christmas Is You to Fall Out Boy's original acoustic Christmas banger Yule Shoot Your Eye Out. Luckily, there are albums like Punk Goes Christmas and. A Santa Cause: It's A Punk Rawk Christmas to get people like me through the holidays. But there is one song that I listen to every year without fail that does not get the recognition it deserves.



One Light Out's Oh Holy Night.

This song. This song right here is pure gold. A perfect punk rendition of the classic O Holy Night. It's so perfect, in fact, that it almost brings tears to my eyes. I accidentally stumbled upon it on YouTube maybe 6 years ago, and it has been a staple in my Christmas playlist ever since.



I would tell you to do yourself a favor and buy the damn song because it's well worth it (you can read my rant about buying music here: https://trebleteddy.blogspot.com/2017/12/why-you-need-to-buy-music.html), but I can't seem to find it available for download as a single anywhere (even the album it's on, Harder. Faster. That's What She Said, isn't available aside from a few used copies selling for way too much money). I bought the song on Amazon a few years ago, but it seems to have vanished from the site. It's painfully obscure. Luckily, it's on YouTube and Spotify, so you can bring a little more angst into your Christmas.



And with that said, have yourself an angsty little Christmas!
