New Live Derry Christmas song. Trance mix.

Eddie's Christmas Party 2025

[Verse 1 ]
(M)
First o’ November and he’s stringin’ up the lights,
Derry streets glow early, cuttin’ through the nights.
Frosty on the window, Rudolph at the door,
Mince pies bakin’, Eddie shoutin’ “Have some more!”

(F)
Ah, darling he’s the reason all the street feels bright—
Singin’ Pogues and laughin’ in the soft moonlight.

---

Chorus –

(M & F)
Oh, it’s Eddie’s party and it starts right now,
Tinsel in the moonlight, joy on Foyle Hill’s brow!
Jingle bells ringin’ from the eaves above—
He reminds the whole town what it means to love.
Hold on tight, don’t hesitate—
Christmas starts early on that first November date!

---

Verse 2

(M)
He’s rockin’ “Last Christmas” as he hangs the star,
Spillin’ cheer from doorstep clear to the local bar.
Lights so bright you’d swear the snow came down—
Eddie’s got December runnin’ through the town.

(F)
And snow or not, he never breaks his stride—
He turns the coldest night warm from side to side.

---

Final Chorus –

(M & F)
Oh, it’s Eddie’s party and it starts right now!
Tinsel dreams are risin’ underneath that winter glow.
Ho-ho-hold on, don’t be late—
He brings the magic from the first November date!

New Derry Christmas Song

The time has come for this year's first Live Derry Christmas song.

Lyrics

Driving Through Derry at Christmas

Verse 1
I’m clockin’ out this Christmas,
Derry’s a glow tonight.
Work had been relentless,
But my time came ’round alright—

Pre-Chorus
And I’m drivin’ through Derry,
With that Christmas freedom grin…
Yeah, I’m drivin’ through Derry,
Let the soulful season begin.
I'm driving through Derry,
Believing the good stories will win.

Chorus
I’m drivin’ through Derry at Christmas,
But first I’ve things to do—
Some gifts with meaning —
For those I’m going to.
Yeah, I’m drivin’ through Derry,
Let the soulful season begin.
I'm driving through Derry,
Believing the good stories will win.
---

Verse 2
The car park’s not too busy,
There's frost along the ground.
A quiet little moment,
A peace I know I've found.
Then I remembered something—
A pint of milk to buy,
So I walked out to the corner
Beneath the winter sky.

Pre-Chorus
And I’m dancin’ through the doorway,
With that easy festive tune…
Yeah, dancin’ through the doorway,
’Cause I’ll be home soon.

Chorus
I’m dancin’ through Derry at Christmas,
But something caught my eye—
An old fella over 80 years,
Too serious to be shy.
He counted out his pennies,
Hoped they’d cover what he chose…
And when the total beat him,
His proud face nearly froze.

---

Bridge (soft)
So I stepped up beside him,
Said, “Here buddy, I’ve got you.”
Just a quiet act of kindness—
The sort we all should do.
He smiled like full-on sunrise,
Nodded his “Thank you,” loud and clear…
And strolled into the evening,
Yeah, I’m drivin’ through Derry,
Let the soulful season begin.
I'm driving through Derry,
Believing the good stories will win.

---

Final Chorus
Now I’m drivin’ through Derry at Christmas,
But hope sits on my chest—
I think of that old man.
It’s not about one season
Or tinsel at its best.
I’m drivin’ through Derry at Christmas,
But the road ahead is plain:
We need a world of caring
That lasts beyond the rain.

Outro
Yeah, I’m drivin’ home for Christmas,
And I see it all so strong—
It’s life, love, and fairness
Where every soul belongs.
Yeah, I’m drivin’ through Derry,
Let the soulful season begin.
Yeah, I’m drivin’ through Derry,
Let the soulful season begin.
I'm driving through Derry,
Believing the good stories will win —.

New Song🎶🎶🎶🎶 This is the shockingly uplifting and horrifyingly empowering music that will never be pushed by corporate music labels. This is the music you are not allowed to love and the empowering message you are not allowed to believe in. Enjoy!

Racists are Bound to Lose is a new song by Live Derry. Gospel music mixed with modern Hip Hop and a Sunday Service Choir.

This song is like a modern take on Woodie Guthrie's 'Bound to Lose'.
