Christmas In Our Hearts | The Story Behind Christmas In Our Hearts
Done with the memes yet? Either way, here's Jose Mari Chan revealing the story behind the most played OPM holiday song in the Philippines.
Let him take you first back to 1988 when the song was thought up. Meet the personalities who got involved as the narrative continues. And well, let him charm you with the rest of the story.
The album, bearing the same name, is Jose Mari Chan's first Christmas album and it will mark its 31st anniversary in November. For decades the song has been a staple on someone's Christmas playlist because of its message — God sending the world His Son, the messianic King Jesus Christ.
But social media happened and picked up speed few years ago; the meme lords were born and the next thing you know, Jose Mari Chan is Mr. Christmas. But maybe the memes are just people's way of saying, 'Wala na bang bago?', and at the same time, they still want to honor the iconic song. Because with its meaningful lines, you can't unlove that song. What do you think?
Jose "Joe" Mari Lim Chan is a Filipino-Chinese songwriter, incredibly known as a mellow balladeer with an emotionally heart-throbbing vocal. He is also an endorser and a businessman in the sugar industry. As for being a music icon, well, every Filipino knows that. Do you still remember some of Jose Mari's all-time favorite hits? Well, here's a few: Deep in My Heart, Constant Change, Beautiful Girl (a piece he wrote about a pretty girl he saw from a distance but never got the chance to personally meet), Tell Me Your Name, Stay, My Love, Perhaps Love, Afraid For Love To Fade, High and Mighty, Sing Me Your Song Again, Daddy (a bride’s dance with her father), Leave You, So I’ll Go, If We Only Have More Time Together, Please Be Careful With My Heart (with Regine Velasquez).
