Everything but the gift

I just heard Tracey Thorn's "Joy" for the first time yesterday and it hit me like an emotional slug to the guy. For some reason, it really resonated with me:

You loved it as a kid
And now you need it more than you ever did
It's because of the dark
We see the beauty in the spark
That's why, that's why
The carols make you cry
Joy

I wish that I heard it in time for inclusion on my Christmas mix for this year (coming soon!), but it has definitely earned a spot on next year's edition.
