Mick J. Clark Looks Beyond Christmas Presents in “Sing Glory Glory Hallelujah”

Mick J. Clark’s “Sing Glory Glory Hallelujah” Celebrates Peace, Love and Christmas.

Most Christmas songs are about presents, snow, and getting the family round the table. Mick J. Clark’s “Sing Glory Glory Hallelujah” goes somewhere else. It’s about the one thing Santa can’t fit in his sack: peace and love.

The idea is easy to follow. Santa can bring kids every toy on their list, but that won’t make the world a happier place. Clark’s hope is that if children and adults actually feel peace and love in their own lives, they’ll have a real reason to celebrate together. It’s a Christmas song, but the message works just as well in March or July.

Mick J. Clark Blends Nostalgic Pop With a Christmas Message in “Sing Glory Glory Hallelujah.”

Clark has been writing and singing for a long time, and he’s covered a lot of ground, from pop and rock to ballads and more. That experience shows in how plainly he writes. He knows what he wants to say and says it, and the music is there to carry the words. He doesn’t have a band. He works on his own, with backing singers and producers helping him bring the songs together.

His style of pop has an old-fashioned, familiar feel to it, the kind you could play in the car with the whole family and nobody would complain. That suits a song meant to bring people together. There’s nothing complicated going on. Clark sticks to kindness and the hope that people can be a bit better to each other, and that’s exactly why it works. Parents looking for a Christmas song with a good message for their kids will find one here.

This isn’t the first time Clark has written songs with a purpose. He’s tackled bullying and smoking in earlier releases, aiming them at young listeners. “Sing Glory Glory Hallelujah” comes from the same place.
