The song "Blue Christmas" by Joey + Rory is a cover of the classic Christmas song originally recorded by Elvis Presley. It is a melancholic song that expresses the feelings of loneliness and sadness during the holiday season when a loved one is not present. The lyrics describe a person's struggle to get through Christmas without their significant other. The speaker expresses their sadness and longing, highlighting how everything feels different and less joyful without their partner's presence. The decorations, such as the red on a green Christmas tree, serve as a visual reminder of the absence and the impact it has on the holiday. The chorus emphasizes the emotional impact when the "blue snowflakes start falling" and memories of past Christmases come flooding back. While the person they are singing about may be "doin' all right" and enjoying a traditional Christmas surrounded by white snow, the speaker remains overwhelmed with a deep sense of longing and loneliness, resulting in a "blue, blue Christmas." Overall, "Blue Christmas" portrays the pain and emptiness experienced by someone who is missing their loved one during the holiday season. It resonates with listeners who may be going through a similar situation or have experienced loss, reminding them that the festive season can be difficult for those who are feeling alone or disconnected from their loved ones. The song captures the bittersweet feeling that comes with the absence of someone special during what should be a joyful and celebratory time.
