Lost Boys has released their first ever original Christmas song, ‘Home For Christmas’.Lost Boys are a 4 piece indie pop outfit from Limerick, Ireland. Following their formation 2 years ago they have gained a huge following with some of their most recent singles ‘Obvious’ and ‘Sadie’ getting featured on the New Music Friday UK Spotify playlist.

‘Home For Christmas’ is a beautiful track displaying the emotive songwriting of Lost Boys. The band spread a bittersweet melody over tender building instrumentation to create a warm, melancholic soundscape filled with glittering Christmas-y hues and cosy textures. The pulsing heartbeat of the track is provided on drums while supple guitar laments and magical soundscapes flurry about the hopeful chorus. It’s cinematic and majestic all at once as Lost Boys present a sublime heartfelt song for the season.

About the track the band said : “We initially started writing the song following the realisation that because of the pandemic, a lot of people will be spending this Christmas separated from their families. As we get older we are coming to the understanding that the Christmases of our youths, when the whole family gets together to celebrate, were a luxury. As we grow up and move out, we’re now starting to appreciate that we can’t take family for granted at this time of year.” Peadar

“As we were looking for inspiration in our favourite Christmas songs, we soon realised that we all gravitated to those that illustrate the complexity of the season. Christmas is never as perfect as we imagine in our heads and we wanted to try to capture that with this song.” Peter

“Christmas is a hectic time of year and we wanted this song to be somewhat of a respite from that. If it helps someone just take a moment to consider how lucky they are, or to think about others who may not be so lucky, then our job will be done.” Peadar
