- 1:17Last Christmas I gave you my heart But the very
- 1:23next day Last Christmas was published on December
- 1:283 in Great Britain and on December 15, 1984 in
- 1:31Italy. The UK, as a double A side, loves Everything
- 1:34She Wants, of which the B side is the Italian
- 1:37edition. Songs inserted in the album Make It
- 1:39Big, released in the previous month of October.
- 1:58The premises for it to become a great success
- 2:00were all there and the facts proved it. At the
- 2:03time, it arrived in fact second only after Do
- 2:05They Know It's Christmas by Band Aid, a temporary
- 2:08supergroup because created by Bob Geldof and
- 2:11Midge Dure with the aim of collecting funds to
- 2:13fight the plague of hunger in Ethiopia. published
- 2:31in the late period and in which George Michael
- 2:35himself sang. Over the years, luck would have
- 2:36given reason to the U .M. song, almost forgetting
- 2:39the success of the band -aid. George Michael
- 2:58composed it during a visit to his parents' house
- 3:01by Andrew Ridgely. It is said that, inspired
- 3:03by Colt, he retired into his room and, once finished,
- 3:07made him listen to his partner in the UM, who
- 3:09was amazed by it. for sure last christmas is
- 3:27a very simple song the instrumental base is composed
- 3:29of a drum machine lindram and a roland synthesizer
- 3:32also has a structure equal between stanza and
- 3:35chorus the voice of george michael does everything
- 3:37the rest with the intention of attracting the
- 3:39attention of the listener leaving the instrumental
- 3:41part to a simple background It is undoubted that
- 3:53the success of Last Christmas happened precisely
- 3:55in the period in which George Michael thought
- 3:57of dedicating himself to the solo career, dissolving
- 3:59the duo. In addition to being produced by him,
- 4:01the singer, despite knowing that it was unworth
- 4:03stripping, played all the instruments. The piece
- 4:06was then sold in London in the middle of summer,
- 4:08a very short Christmas period. To tell the truth,
- 4:11the text also has little to do with the magical
- 4:13Christmas atmospheres. After the beginning that
- 4:15recites Last Christmas, I gave you my heart,
- 4:18we talk about a love story that went wrong. Accepted
- 4:20in favor of the musical TVs of the time, including
- 4:23MTV and Videomusic in Italy, the video of Last
- 4:25Christmas was shot in the sci -fi town of Saas
- 4:28Fee in Switzerland. The singer's ex is played
- 4:31by model Katie Hill, while the U .M. and Shirley,
- 4:36and Martin Kemp, bassist of the Spandau Bullet,
- 4:39then boyfriend, then future husband of Shirley
- 4:41Holliman. A 4k version of the video is now available.
- 4:45In those years the daily Guardian wrote that
- 4:47the song played like everything and like nothing.
- 4:50It was for this reason that Michael was accused
- 4:51of plagiarism by singer Barry Manilow, who supported
- 4:54how the song resembled his Can't Smile Without
- 4:57You. However, in court, a musicologist showed
- 5:26that there were about sixty other songs with
- 5:28that progression of chords and that melody. On
- 5:30the other hand, the listening of the video, over
- 5:32-reported, leaves quite dubious on the thesis
- 5:35of Manilow. In 2022, Last Christmas celebrated
- 5:38its 38th birthday in 2020. after being republished
- 5:42in various editions, the song was released in
- 5:45the original version of 1985 in conjunction with
- 5:48the homonymous film, performed by Emilia Clarke,
- 5:51Harry Goldin and Emma Thompson. Someone even
- 5:53talked about a curse of Last Christmas. Melanie
- 5:56Panagiotou, George Michael's sister, disappeared
- 5:59in London at the age of 55 on Christmas Day in
- 6:022019, exactly three years after her brother.
