Shine at Christmas - Damian Spiteri

Shine at Christmas is a delightful Christmas song.

Damian Spiteri is an acknowledged best-selling author on education and has a doctorate in the sociology of education. He is also a university lecturer. He has used ideas derived from his many years of lecturing experience at universities in Scotland (the University of Strathclyde), England (the University of York) and his native country of Malta to come up with the insightful lyrics that have been infused in his song and that provides a positive pro-social message for children, young people and families in the Christmas festive season.

The song has been described by the leading music magazine Mag360 as one that has "superb instrumentation, production and lyrical content."

The production and filming of the video was in the hands of AGB Media who have succeeded in delivering a video with considerable cinematic appeal. Filming took place at Popeye Village which is a historical landmark of the Maltese islands.

Shine at Christmas has been recorded at Beat Street Studios (UK) to a musical accompaniment provided by Studio Pros (US).

The lyrics of the song read:

It’s a jolly, jolly song
The song I want to sing
Just melodies of ding-dong-ding
With love for our great King

Fa la la la la la la
Fa la la la la
It’s time to shine. Its Christmas time
As jolly as can be

It’s time to show we care
With our families so dear
By putting up our Christmas trees
With lights for all to see

It’s a jolly, jolly song
The song I want to sing
Just melodies of ding-dong-ding
With love for our great King

Fa la la la la la la
Fa la la la la
It’s time to shine. Its Christmas time
As jolly as can be

I think of you, I think of us,
I realise life abounds
I think of peace, I think of love
Good tidings all around

Let us say hello with loving smiles
Let us show we love and care
Let us show there’s a world to share
When Christmas time is here

It’s a jolly, jolly song
The song I want to sing
Just melodies of ding-dong-ding
With love for our Great King

Fa la la la la la la
Fa la la la la

Oh! I can laugh and I can smile
And show my happiness
I feel such love, I feel such joy
When Christmas time is here
I want to show you all my loving smiles….

I have a message for all of us
From all spaces and all places in my heart
Soul to soul and hand in hand
Let’s live in harmony

It’s a jolly, jolly song
The song I want to sing
Just melodies of ding-dong-ding
With love for our great King

Fa la la la la la la

Let’s live in harmony
