Listen Benjamin Francis Leftwich shares Christmas single ‘Tinsel In The River’
A song about “sitting alone over the Christmas period and reflecting over the previous year of love, loss and what could have been - but flew out of one’s hands”.
Getting into the festive spirit, Benjamin Francis Leftwich has shared new Christmas single ‘Tinsel In The River’.
“‘Tinsel In The River’ is a song about sitting alone over the Christmas period and reflecting over the previous year of love, loss and what could have been - but flew out of one’s hands,” he explains. “The song is set against the Christmas party season in the town in Yorkshire where I am from. The city comes alive with: the party, the bag, loving fellowship - and also chaos.
“To me the song is about that feeling of isolation, set against the backdrop of bright noisiness at that time of year and how the sparkle of it all can also be the trigger for the pain that was so nearly disappearing in the normal stillness of the town, which suddenly is turned upside down.”
