So, the John Lewis Christmas advert song is here...

Feel festive with the beautiful sound of Aurora covering Oasis

 

It may only be November, but the world wants you to start feeling festive already. John Lewis have just unveiled their Christmas advert for 2016 - and the song is a particular tearjerker. Check it out below. 

The commercials are becoming as much a part of Christmas as sprouts, booze and the Queen's speech - which is a bit depressing. However, we're just happy that this year's soundtrack was sung by Gigwise favourite Aurora - covering Oasis' classic 'Half The World Away'. 

The Norwegian one to watch has drenched the indie staple in her own bewitching and unique sense of celestial and wide-eyed heartwarming wonder - which is quite fitting, as the ad tells the tale of a young girl on Earth trying to spread Christmas cheer to a man stranded on the moon. 

Check it out below

Keep an eye on Aurora - we daresay she's set to dominate 2016.

Meanwhile, Aurora returns to the UK to play the Deaf Insitute in Manchester on Monday 1 February and Union Chapel in London on Tuesday 2 February. For tickets and more information, visit here
