Nothing gets your listening started with the spirit of joy-inducing releases while simultaneously tapping into deep feelings quite like an act that can truly make you happy, and that is precisely what singer-songwriter BJ Spicer has done with his new indie-pop Christmas single, “Gesundheit Merry Christmas!” Blending holiday warmth with unexpected modernity, Spicer transforms the chaos of the season into a time for us all to come together.
Written from a point of view aimed at finding cheer during an overstimulating season, “Gesundheit Merry Christmas!” brings an oasis of calm to December rage. Its playful exuberance and filmic narrative wrap their arms thoughtfully around listeners, the pulsing hook lingering like the scent of newly cut pine. With a humorous song title that alludes to the common experience of sneezing, it becomes a memorable and likable song.
Spicer's delivery is honest, speaking from the heart of someone who knows both the pull and the frenzy of the holidays. Beneath all that shiny production, there is a positive message, you can find happiness in people, however simple, even as the shine dims.
“Gesundheit Merry Christmas!” carries an even weightier message. Slow down, see the funny side, and realign with what really matters. Whether it’s the sound of joyous gift wrapping or a holiday morning drive, BJ Spicer has just put out what might become your new favorite holiday song, a track by Heartfelt Sneeze.
