Song Meaning of “Seems Like Christmas in July” by Lori Mechem
This song is a sweetly melancholic ode to nostalgia and the longing for love. The singer reminisces of a time past, when things were better and brighter, before the days and seasons where all intertwined and it is now the fourth of July. She sings of being alone while others celebrate, yet finds some solace in the fact that in her heart it seems like Christmas even in July.
The lyrics reflect feelings of loss, and how hard it can be to move on while still cherishing the memories, no matter the time of year. There is a bittersweetness to the sound of Christmas bells ringing in her heart, as the memories of the season remind her of all that is no longer. There is a new hope in the optimistic view that it will all come back one day, but until then, she will take comfort in the fact that even while facing the heat of summer, in her heart it still feels like Christmas in July.
