Do They Know It’s Christmas
Band Aid was a charity supergroup featuring leading British and Irish musicians and recording artists.[1][2][3] It was founded in 1984 byBob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise money for anti-poverty efforts in Ethiopia by releasing the song “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” for the Christmas market that year. On 25 November 1984, the song was recorded at Sarm West Studios in Notting Hill, London, and was released in the UK four days later.[4][5] The single surpassed the hopes of the producers to become the Christmas number one on that release.
The Band Aid project inspired other charity records around the world, including We Are the World by USA for Africa (in the United States), Cantaré Cantarás by Project Hermanos (inLatin America), Nackt im Wind by Band für Afrika (in Germany), Ethiopie by Chanteurs Sans Frontiere‘(in France), Tears Are Not Enough by Northern Lights (in Canada), Show some Concern by The Concerned in Ireland, Sammen for Livet by Forente Artister (in Norway), Maksamme Velkaa by Apua-Orkesteri (in Finland), Chega de Mágoa by Nordeste Já (inBrazil), Za milion godina by YU Rock Misija (in Yugoslavia), Stars by Hear ‘n Aid (international heavy metal artists), Afrika written by Nanna with various Danish artists, and many others.

The true meaning of Christmas it what you think, the main purpose is a religious substanchel point of view with the birth of Jesus and such and such. And our gifts are representing what he got, “gold Frankensence muir”.
Wow that song is great it has a big meaning in the song the different way people celabrate christmas it might different in some ways but it is still christmas.
To me the true meaning of Christmas is your family to come together to celebrate Chistmas. The true meaning of Christmas is to have a great time with your family and to have FUN!
The true meaning of Christmas is to mainly to celebrate Jesu’s birthday.
That was one of my favourite songs. My other favourite song was the little drummer boy.
I liked it but I would love it more if the sound of the bass was louder and a bit more techno too. But I liked it 🙂
