Please don’t play this again, Dianne.
You will get this strange feeling after listening diane keaton‘s new holiday single “First Christmas.”
pour “black” “black Friday,” The yuletide tearjerker is more dull than fun, sucking all the holiday spirit out of you.
And with Keaton’s painful performance – this is the crisis that stole Christmas – the whole thing is every bit as tragic.
Why this acting legend, at age 78, felt this was the gift we needed to start the season, we’ll never know.
This starry ballad is about spending your “First Christmas” Without the one you love.
“Hearing ‘I’ll Be Home for Christmas’/It just makes me miss her/When you love somebody for so long/Yet they ain’t coming home,” Keaton tentatively spoke through. Said while doing.
And when it comes time to inject melodrama into the chorus, her limp vocals fall flat with the tired lyrics: “Snow falls on my window / I wish I could let go / It’s a silent night / It’s another year /First Christmas here without you.”
“First Christmas” was co-written by Carole Bayer Sager, who has written songs for Barbra Streisand and everyone else. Dionne Warwick To Diana Ross and Michael Jackson.
But Keaton is nowhere near that club.
However, at this stage of her career, the Oscar winner for 1977’s “Annie Hall” can do whatever suits her.
“I can’t believe it’s finally here!” Keaton trended on instagram Last week. “My first holiday single, ‘First Christmas’ is out Friday, November 29th.”
Along with the single’s cover where she is wearing her trademark turtleneck, she said, “So excited to share this song with you all.”
In fact, his long-standing Christmas wish is finally coming true with this project.
Keaton said, “I had a fantasy of being a nightclub singer, which I accomplished in my early 20s.” told Metro Canada in 2014. “I sang a few gigs, as they call them, but I wasn’t very good.”
While singing has been her secret passion, the “Something’s Gotta Give” star admitted that “I’m aware of the limitations of my voice.”
Although she took voice lessons for years, she found that she had “a very small voice.”
Still, there has been no change in his passion for singing. “I love it so much,” said Keaton, who previously dueted with singer Ash on her 2022 single “Love is letting go.”
“I love music. I love singing ballads and sad songs, it’s so much fun.
