Tune in to the beats of the successful Middlesborough singer-songwriter, Christopher Anton Rea with Christmas Carnivals offering information on one of his songs, Driving Home for Christmas . Rea was born on 4 March, 1951. As his father owned an ice-cream parlor just outside Middlesborough, in Guisborough, locally, "going to Rea's" meant going out for ice-cream.
Christopher Rea is best known for his 1989 album 'The Road to Hell'. The song, Driving Home for Christmas, reminisces the singer's urge to be home for this much- coveted time of the year when children return home after a long day's ride "to see those faces". Rea's journey is also a trip down memory lane whereby the season becomes a metaphor for all that's new and happy. The song determines the singer's loneliness and willingness to meet all the faces he has known since childhood.
It appears, with the passage of every second the driver is losing patience to be near home, to feel the joys of family life all over again. Dressed in tailbacks from the top to the toe, he's tired of being stuck at the signals, hoping that the lights would soon change to green to "Get my feet on holy ground" - that is home. In the freeway where he's humming his song, he's certain of the fact that it will reach his folks at home "With a thousand memories", although literally they can't hear his song.
