Daniel Maple has taken his brand of folk balladry and filtered it through a beautifully bittersweet Christmas lens.

This folky Christmas tune shows Maple at his best, demonstrating his talent with a guitar in his hand.

He weaves a beautiful finger-plucked melody throughout this song, providing a strong backing to the complex narrative.

Using Christmas imagery to tell an emotional story, Maple truly displays his songwriting chops on the tune, which reminded me a lot of Jeff Buckley.

If you’re looking for something fresh this Christmas, why not give it a listen!
