New Music Review - ‘Home for Christmas’- Simon Hirst
Home for Christmas will bring a lot of tears to your eyes with the beauty that it entails. The track was released exactly 20 days until Christmas on the 5th December 2022. Cover art credit: Simon’s Facebook.
If you don’t have a box of your favourite Kleenex beside you right while you read this review and while you listen to Simon Hirst’s new song, Home for Christmas, may I suggest that you pop out to quickly get some as Simon’s newly released Christmas track is for the soft-hearted, dewy-eyed amongst us.
Released 20 days prior to Christmas (this is an important mention in which you will need to listen to the song to find out why), Home for Christmas is the ultimate New Zealand festive song that will pull on more than a few heartstrings, expanding your love of Simon’s valuable music even further afield.
The acoustically driven riffs that flex through Home for Christmas will ensure that you get to enjoy that Christmassy feeling that most of us crave to feel at this time of the year, something that Simon really shines a light on, ensuring his songs help listeners feel deeply with every tune that he lets loose.
The artwork for Home for Christmas is a dedication to not only Simon’s music, but also a polaroid of his family placed tactfully in a spot where you’d have to look closely for it, however, it in a way, signifies that while Simon’s passion is about creating, he always has time for his beautiful family who support him on the crazy roads of creating and life in general.
Home for Christmas would be the perfect addition to a Hallmark Christmas movie (which I realise I have said in previous reviews that Simon’s music would really suit being in a romantic movie), with the realism of lyricism and the bright spark of Christmas enchantment that evokes different moments.
Home for Christmas is not a tune that you will be able to pass by, trapping you in this quietly loved-up bubble of gracefulness that makes a distinct purpose in the heart of the song. Lovely.
