2000 miles is one of my favourite Christmas songs. I find it quite sentimental and moving. Sadly when I recommend it to people they usually think I'm referring to that song by The Proclaimers.

It’s hypnotizing and I listen to it dozens of times during the season. Very interesting story behind it.

Sorry. Their guitarist passed away super young and the song is a bit of a reflection and tribute/memory to him. It’s her singing about missing him, thinking about him everyday and how he’s very far away, being dead. I think he was early 20’s when he died.
