If you think it is a little early for Christmas festivities, then allow Mick J. Clark to attempt to change your mind with his gorgeously warm ‘It’s Getting Near Christmas’.
A song, in Mick J. Clark’s usual vain, about the joys of the normalcy of everyday life as Christmas draws near, ‘It’s Getting Near Christmas’ benefits from Clark’s expressive vocals, colorful and inspiring lyrics, and his wonderful sense for warm and joyful melodies. Clark is an English singer and songwriter based in Croydon. Award nominated and with 1,000,000+ streams to his songs across streaming platforms, it is easy to see Clark knows a thing or two about writing an enjoyable and relatable song.
‘It’s Getting Near Christmas’ is a song that charmingly blends bittersweet melancholy with syrupy Christmas time cheerfulness. With a composition that is readily hopeful but with pronounced pockets of under-the-weather chord changes and spectral oohs, the song is realistically colored, painting a relatable image about enjoying the holidays and all the joy and change they bring, while being grounded in the fact that life never stops, and that gratitude and happiness should not be exclusive for the last week of the year.
With its peppy rhythms and warm, engaging arrangement, Mick J. Clark’s ‘It’s Getting Near Christmas’ does not disappoint, just like the remainder of his songs. A warm, pretty, and well thought out song.
