Dang, I had never heard this before today. You know when the season is doing you in? You hate yourself for eating a million chocolates, you’re broke and the prospect of spending time with your family makes you break out in hives? Pop Marvin Gaye’s ‘I Want To Come Home For Christmas’ on. It’s about a prisoner of war who would give anything to come home, aka a solid slab of perspective. Gaye wrote and produced it in 1972 as a tribute to Vietnam vets (it surfaced the following year on a Motown Christmas compilation), and it’s one of the most soulful and sorely underrated festive songs you’ve probably never heard of.
