about

First issued in 2018, this unforgettable original song written by smooth crooner Oliver Wilde (Pet Shimmers, Oro Swimming Hour) with the elegant songstress Helena Walker (Herbal Tea) was originally recorded in 2018 with additional instrumentation written and performed by multi-instrumentalist wizard Henry-Charles Sharpe (Sleep Radio) is finally being released for the first time in it’s original form on the 7th of December 2018. A sentimental family favourite ‘Without You, Die Hard’s Not The Same’ easily stands strong next to the holiday classics by Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole.

lyrics

Christmas Eve, sorry to wake you with this call one day early
I don't mind you calling me this late, I've been waiting by the phone anyway
You know how it is, something's can't wait
Another years worth of things I could say
To your face
Just so happens when I see you, I’ll have kept them safe.
Without you, Die Hard's not the same
Without you, Die Hard's not the same

First line on my Christmas list this year, is to see the headlights shine, as you appear
Oh dear sweet, should you leave right now and drive this night to me
Well you know how it is, some hearts won’t break
And your time’s my precious keepsake
I’m on my way
Once, in a while, dreaming of you, loving you
Without you, Frozen's not the same
Without you, Muppets doesn't play.
Without you, Bublé's out of place
Without you, Rudolph flies away
Yippy-ki-yay, John McClane
With you, I'd jingle all the way

I don't mind you calling me this late / Christmas Eve, sorry to wake you with this call one day early / I've been waiting by the phone anyway
Oh dear sweet, should you leave right now and drive this night to me / First line on my Christmas list this year, is to see the headlights shine, as you appear
You know how it is, your mother’s tree
Will be all dressed up in chandeliers
Stood pretty
And I’ll place a perfect star, atop it.
Tll then it’s you that I shall miss
Let’s wish us all Merry Christmas
Everyone Merry Christmas
Everyone Merry Christmas
