Moonstar88’s pensive rendition of the classic Apo yuletide song captures the spirit of what Christmas is like in 2020: cautiously optimistic while acknowledging the unprecedented turmoil of this year.
With long-time, trusted producer Raymund Marasigan at the helm, the band have once again added fresh elements to make the song their own, with minimalist vocal layers, loops, and low synths to complement clean guitar-driven instrumentations and Christmas-lit drums. Moonstar88 hopes that this song gives listeners a time to reflect and to bring them somewhere hopeful or a place to grieve quietly, if need be.
