Lyric video for Driving Home For Christmas by Chris Rea. Voted the nation's favourite Christmas song and considered to be one of the top 10 Christmas singles Rea's "carol for cars" became a standard, covered on a stack of Christmas CDs. The best is probably St Etienne's gentle acoustic version on which Sarah Cracknell's voice floats like snowflakes over the fingerpicked guitar and the ambient sound of passing cars and (more unsettlingly) squealing brakes. Denmark's Malene Mortensen swung it with a brassy, big-band makeover in 2007 and nxddmpY.
