May it bring you health, love and happiness. I know 2020 was a year many of us want to forget. I feel the same way. However, we mustn’t forget the blessings and perspectives, such as being thankful for our health and family.
In terms of the blog, I discovered various artists who covered the Pandemic through their music, either in solidarity with frontline workers or comic relief during the quarantine (i.e. Chris Mann and the Kiffness). These songs gave us hope during these challenging times.
Also, Christmas 2020 was inspirational. I was blessed to have discovered this material. The range of musical styles and subject matter was impressive. From the religious subject matter to covering the classics to generally the love of Christmas, the performances were from the heart. That holiday season was when I emersed myself in Christmas music to feel a sense of comfort during the COVID-19 Pandemic. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas time with your family.
Now 2020 has come to an end – to the joys of many (me included!). I hope 2021 will be a remarkable year. Lots of love to all!
I look forward to discovering more incredible music throughout the year.
In the meantime, I will take a little break and come back soon.
Happy new year!
