DESCRIPTION
NOT SO SILENT NIGHT is not a classic Christmas album with Ave Maria and Silent Night, but a record with 12 new Christmas carols that they wrote themselves. Not so Silent Night describes a typical Christmas celebration at home. In 24th I sing for those who can no longer be with us and whom we miss especially at Christmas. Actually a normal Sarah Connor record, I think. It's just not quiet. Because for me, as the title of the record says, Christmas is not just a contemplative celebration, if I'm honest. For a working mother, Christmas means much more than just a time of contemplation. It's mostly stress. I sometimes send little prayers to heaven like: Of course I love the Christmas carols, the decorated windows and the illuminated streets, the kitsch. But I hate the overconsumption, the hectic pace, how quickly everything is over, and how everyone pulls together on Christmas Eve to avoid sensitive topics. I miss my beloved grandmother terribly every Christmas and I dedicated the song Santa, if you're there to her. I love the excited children's eyes and I love organizing Christmas for them and I hope that we can continue to do so for a very long time maybe someday with a female Santa who has a different skin color than me or come on a futuristic car instead of a sleigh.. like in Christmas 2066. Through the eyes of my kids I can still believe in the magic and wish to Christmas Eve indeed wholehearted peace to the world they live in. One thing doesn't change at Christmas or in English: I make songs and lyrics close to life. And as a mother, daughter, sister, woman, it's a bit like praying that everything will be fine. It's Christmas at our house
