Of all the Christmas songs which have been recorded, only the best can make it into The Lucy Museum of Musicians who deserve entry to Lucy's Museum of Musicians and at number three we have Snowman by Sia.
The third entry for Sia, this is a criminally underrated song from a criminally underrated Christmas Album that finally got the recognition it deserved following a TikTok challenge where you had to sing a verse and chorus from Snowman in one breath.
A simple, beautiful piano ballad about the singer running away with her Snowman friend to keep him alive because we have all been there on Christmas Eve with our partner in the living room, the only illumination is the fairy lights on the Christmas Tree while you look into each others eyes and feeling like you're falling in love again with the only sound the sharp crackling from the warm, cosy fire in the fireplace and then you remember, arghh..warm fire and he's a bloody snowman and suddenly you got a massive puddle in your living room to clean up and as she says in the song, 'A puddle of water can't hold me close, baby'.
Her solution is to go to the North Pole to hide from the Sun and live happily and anyone who knows Sia's back-story will know that not only does she richly deserve some happiness but despite everything, she is one of the nicest, most inspirational people you could ever wish to meet and on top of all that she has one of the greatest Christmas Albums to ever adorn a record shop shelf.
