Monique discovers and shares that hope and joy can still be found within the sadness.
“Christmas is a time where we all want to be together, sing together and love one another. Through difficult times we should all try to love one another and care for each other.” Monique Angele
Written during the Covid-19 lockdowns, whilst Monique was living in Melbourne, Australia, she was inspired to fulfil a request that her mother had asked about for many years, for her to write a Christmas song. Being so distant from her mother who was in Canada at the time, the time seemed right and ‘Sing Together On Christmas’ was born.
“I wrote it during the time I did because it felt right, and the writing process just came out naturally. I usually always write my songs when I’m feeling something very deeply, some kind of emotion or I get inspired by something. The lyrics came first because I was thinking about how I truly felt about Christmas and especially during the pandemic. I was trying to portray a song that was happy and hopeful yet sad at the same time.” Monique Angele
