What can I say? I dig the tune. Another Ideaman is another of those "band names for one guy" things, like Owl City, etc. And "The Christmas Of Our Lives" is his first release ever. You gotta respect the artists that kick off their careers with a Christmas song.
There's a bit of a Reggae beat to "The Christmas Of Our Lives" and it wouldn't be out of place in an Indie Pop playlist, but--at the core--it's just a real nice Pop song. As a child of Top 40 radio in the 60s and early 70s, I could see this on the radio then. Easy. Across several formats. Now that might not be what you're looking for in your Christmas soundtrack, but I always feel that, if there's one thing the world can never have too much of, its good Pop songs. Good Pop songs make you smile and think good thoughts. Somehow, the world just doesn't seem quite as dark when you've just listened to a good Pop song. OK, sure, the world is actually pretty dark these days, but do we have to dwell on it all the time? Its not as though all that fretting and worrying is going to make the world any less dark. But a good Pop song can.
"The Christmas Of Our Lives" is available at iTunes and Amazon and wherever fine digital downloads are sold. And, if you get the chance, drop by Another Ideaman's Facebook page and say "hi".
