Bing Crosby – White Christmas

Lyrics

Meaning

The song is about longing for the nostalgic feeling of a “White Christmas,” a Christmas with a blanket of snow all around. The singer is dreaming of a snow-covered Christmas as it was when he was a child. He wishes for all of his friends and family to have the same joy and experience of a white Christmas with the image of treetops glistening, children listening to hear the sound of sleigh bells in the snow, and days that are merry and bright.

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

Elton John – Candle in the Wind

Candle in the Wind is a tribute to Marilyn Monroe, reflecting on her life and her untimely death. The lyrics express the idea that despite her immense fame and success, she was alone and never found true solace. The singer expresses a sort of regret for never having the opportunity to get to know her. The metaphor of the candle in the wind represents the fragility and transience of life, and how Marilyn’s life was extinguished too soon, before her legend ever lived up to its potential.
