I'm missing some of the nuances because I'm about three or four episodes behind on TSCC (I plan to catch up over Christmas and definitely rewatch this vid when I am) but even so, you capture like...everything about Sarah's character so deftly and creepily.
It might be a Christmas song, but the messiah/mary parallels are so riddled through the show it actually just fits regardless of the time of year. And wow, this is an amazing song.
I think one of my favourite things about it is how it manages to blame Sarah for everything that's happened, while not blaming her at all? Is that even clear? "It's what she did." Which it is. All of this is because of what Sarah did. But nothing is wrong either because what else could she have done?
My personal response to it was also that I liked how John was kind of absent. I mean, he wasn't because everything Sarah does is about him. But he's the "infant" the future promise. He's going to come back and raise up the dead. But that's distant and abstract and he's not really real yet; he's just an idea Sarah has. That compels her into doing...what she did.

And I really need a TSCC icon...
