I Believe in Father Christmas
"I Believe In Father Christmas" is a song by Greg Lake with lyrics by Peter Sinfield. Although it is often categorised as a Christmas song, this was not Lake's intention. Lake claims to have written the song in protest at the commercialisation of Christmas.〔 〕
Sinfield, however, claims that the words are about a loss of innocence and childhood belief.
==Background==
The song is often misinterpreted as an anti-religious song and, because of this, Lake was surprised at its success. As he stated in a ''Mojo'' magazine interview:"I find it appalling when people say it's politically incorrect to talk about Christmas, you've got to talk about 'The Holiday Season'. Christmas was a time of family warmth and love. There was a feeling of forgiveness, acceptance. And I do believe in Father Christmas."
The instrumental riff between verses comes from the "Troika" portion of Sergei Prokofiev's ''Lieutenant Kijé Suite'' written for a 1934 Soviet film, ''Lieutenant Kijé,''〔(Poruchik Kizhe )〕 added at Keith Emerson's suggestion.
