Billy Joel wrote the ‘Christmas in Fallujah’ lyrics, but let unknown singer Cass Dillon perform the new tune for the first time. ‘Christmas in Fallujah’ is the second song Joel has written since his 1993 ‘River of Dreams’ album.
The song is about the frustration of a soldier in Iraq. Joel said he allowed Dillon to sing the song as he felt someone younger would be better suited for it. “I didn’t feel I was the person to sing this song. I thought it should be somebody younger, about a soldier’s age. I wanted to help somebody else’s career,” said Joel. “I’ve had plenty of this. I’ve has plenty of airplay. I’ve had my time in the sun. I think it’s time for somebody else, maybe, to benefit from my own experience.”
