‘It’s a Wonderful Life (A Christmas Tale)’, set for release Friday, November 29th, is a collaboration between major names in the songwriting community:
This song celebrates the classic Christmas movie ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’, with James Stewart as George Bailey, and its place in our hearts. It’s a great fit for almost any Christmas playlist: Capturing the movie’s timeless theme of discovering a reason to live at a time of personal crisis, melodic vocals tell the story, supported by sleigh bells, jangling guitars, joyful trumpets and a driving rhythm section, climaxing with an uplifting singalong outro.
Former Irish Times columnist Joe Armstrong, (Ireland) writes the Joe the Human Substack, is author of the memoir series Losing Religion, Finding Myself and, with Nicoline Greer, made the New York Festivals’ finalist award winning RTE documentary From Belief to Unbelief. This is his third released song.
