There’s no quicker way to warm our cockles than a classic 1960’s Smith Corona Sterling typewriter, and that’s even before Christina Martin gets down to the business of her new Christmas jingle, “Coming Back Home For Christmas.” At the very least, it’s a classy and welcome new take on the traditional lyric video.
At its heart, “Coming Back Home for Christmas” has a theme familiar to many Atlantic Canadians: the challenges of being away from home during the holidays.
“A lot of people have to be away from family throughout the year for work, or other reasons,” says Martin. “It’s about bridging distance with love.”
Of course, Martin is easily able to relate, having just completed and extensive 49 date cross-Canada tour, and about to embark on a European tour in the new year for new her most recent album, Wonderful Lie.
“It’s for everyone missing anyone special to them…,” says Martin. “A partner, a child, or an old friend who they haven’t seen in some time.”
