The song Christmas Bells by James Arthur is a heartbreaking holiday tune about the pain of missing someone during the festive season. The lyrics describe the emptiness and loneliness that the singer feels while spending Christmas without their loved one. The memories of the past, the sound of the bells, the mistletoe, and everything that used to bring joy no longer holds meaning because of the absence of that special someone. The singer talks about turning to alcohol to cope, and how even the radio playing old Christmas tunes doesn't bring the joy it once did. The snow falling and children singing in the streets only serve as a reminder of happier times. The chorus repeats the idea that nothing feels the same without their loved one, and they don't kiss under the mistletoe or enjoy the sound of Christmas bells like they used to. Overall, Christmas Bells is a melancholy song that captures the feelings of loss and sadness that can come with the holidays. It's a reminder that not everyone feels jolly during this time of year, and that sometimes the sentimental traditions we love can bring more pain than pleasure.
