Candian and Quebecois singer Elliot Maginot released a new Christmas single, Waiting on Christmas.
The music is Pop. The first instrument heard is the violin, followed by the piano and a bold orchestral moment that creates a climactic moment in the song. Elliot Maginot is an incredible musician. He plays piano, violin, organ, percussion, bass guitar, and acoustic guitar. He does an excellent job of playing each instrument at the right moment in the song. He’s also the composer of this heartfelt tune. Mathieu Le Guerrier is remarkable with the drums and percussion. The rhythm starts slow and smoothly transitions to a slightly faster tempo, reflecting the shift in emotions and mindset. The violin complements the song’s beautiful composition. The music builds hope that things will improve and that the holiday brings love and cheer to all.
Elliot Maginot’s voice is husky. He sings with feeling – heart and soul. Michael Taylor Hicks’ voice in the background sounds wise and optimistic. Julia Larochelle’s performing choir adds a nice layer to the song.
The lyrics are heartfelt and profound. The song has a positive message of love/self-love and compassion/self-compassion. It also talks about heartbreak and grief, with patience essential to this process. However, all hope’s not lost because time with loved ones is something to look forward to. Elliot Maginot wrote the lyrics with a personal sentiment. Wisdom and humility are also at the forefront of this lovely, sentimental tune. The words are impactful, reminding us to reflect on what’s important during this time of year and life.
The single Waiting on Christmas is available.
