Album Description
Available in:
As most Cyndi Lauper aficionados know Cyndi graced the world with her takes on many Christmas classics, and also tried her hand at writing a few of her own. The album was called "Merry Christmas...Have a Nice Life" however Sony Music decided to rerelease it in 2001 under the title "Feels Like Christmas". However, to keep the collection fresh it was decided that seven of the previously released tracks would be omitted, and in their place would be two obscure outtakes.
"Feels Like Christmas" starts out with the title track, which perfectly sets the mood with it's somewhat melancholic sound and seasonal themed lyrics. However, the rest of the collection is somewhat iffy. That's not to say that the actual individual songs are bad, it's the way that they are sequenced. Sequencing is like a lost art form, it's one of the most important aspects of an album. In order for the album to actually sound consistent it must be ordered just right. In some spots the sequencing of this album is fine but in other spots (i.e. December Child into Christmas Conga) it can be somewhat jolting.
However, despite that complaint the two main reasons to buy the album would be the inclusion of two obscure Lauper outtakes. The first one, "The World Is Stone", is from the soundtrack to "Tycoon". Although not directly linked to Christmas, or any Holiday for that matter, it is easy to see why it was included. It has a sound reminiscent of the late Winter season, also coupled with Cyndi Lauper's emotive delivery it makes for a pertinent conclusion. The next song is a very odd inclusion, but it is somewhat understandable: "Heading For The Moon". This song was originally the B-Side to her 1986 number one single, True Colors. Once again, while not having any Christmas tinged lyrics, the sound really fits the album.
Conclusion
Although not essential to any casual fans of Lauper's work, it is essential for any diehard fans out there; it's especially worth it just for the inclusion of the two obscure off cuts. However, despite those two being the main stand-outs it really is worth it for the beautiful cover of "Silent Night", which is saved for last on the disc. It brings a somewhat Laupsided (see what I did there?) reissue to a stunningly beautiful close.
