Robbie Williams apunta al coronavirus en el single navideño «Can’t Stop Christmas»

El cantante británico Robbie Williams ha presentado el single «Can’t Stop Christmas», y es una mirada oportuna a la temporada navideña en estos tiempos de COVID-19.

El nuevo single muestra a Robbie enfrentando lo que probablemente sea la Navidad más extraña para muchos de nosotros, con guiños a Facetime, zoom y recibiendo alcohol en gel como regalo.

Y en un guiño al distanciamiento social, canta: «Santa está en su trineo, pero ahora está a dos metros».

Una colaboración con los productores Guy Chambers y Richard Flack, el single se suma al álbum doble de Williams «The Christmas Present», reeditado hoy viernes y que cuenta con apariciones especiales de artistas como Rod Stewart, Bryan Adams, Jamie Cullum y Tyson Fury.

Lanzado originalmente la Navidad pasada, el álbum le dio a Robbie en diciembre pasado su decimotercer álbum solista número uno en el Reino Unido, igualando el récord de Elvis Presley como el artista solista con más álbumes número uno en ese país.

Letra completa de "Can’t Stop Christmas"

Oh what a miserable year
But what a time to be alive
Sadly some friends disappeared
It’s never been like this before
It feels like we’re at war

So I wonder who’s gonna decide
If we can do the Auld Lang Syne
I wish that I could do what I like
With this family of mine
We’re going out of our minds

So what are we to do
About your FaceTimes and Zooms?
There’s a room inside my mind
And it’s always here for you

Nothing’s gonna stop Christmas…
No chance

You can’t take away our season
Like you can take away the why’s
(Santa’s on his sleigh
But now he’s two metres away)

The people gonna need something to believe in
After a year of being in
(We’ve got a wish list
To catch the Christmas time)
If you’re wondering what I like
Stacks of sanitiser will do fine
I guess you do your shopping online
The high street lights are out
There’s nobody about

So where will we all be
Come this time next year?
I know you’ll be with me
And I’ll be here
Nothing’s gonna take Christmas…

You can’t take away our season
Like you can take away the why’s
(Santa’s on his sleigh
But now he’s two metres away)

The people gonna need something to believe in
After a year of being in
(We’ve got a wish list
To catch the Christmas)

Why, oh why are we all waiting?
The whole damn world anticipating
Beyond boredom and frustration
The planet’s locked in what ifs and maybes
You can’t take away our season
Like you can take away the why’s
(I spoke to Santa Claus
I hear he’s waiting at the door)

The people gonna need something to believe in
After a year of being in
We’ve all missed this
So here’s our wish list
You can’t stop Christmas time
