No danger that this one will be played on Heart ad infinitum in twenty Christmases time—but you might still be giving it a spin then. Shame have written their own festive tune called 'Baldur's Gate'.

Complete with customary bells, the song joins the great tradition of writing sorrow into the Christmas period. Hear it:

"It’s about a period of time in which I’d regularly be trekking up to the streets of Edinburgh to see an ex-partner. These are some of the thoughts I’d have when I’d be leaving Waverley station, en route back to London in the winter nights," band leader Charlie Steen noted.
