THIS CHRISTMAS NIGHT
This Christmas Night is a twelve-track album of original Christmas music by Owen Spence.
The album is centered around the first track, “This Christmas Night,” which is an original carol written by Owen and performed by Paulo Clayton. The lyrics lay out the names and ideas behind several of the following tracks, such as the family theme, “With Those I Love," and “Homely and Warm,” which represents being at home and at peace with loved ones for the holidays.
The album was created over a period of 13 months by Owen, with additional composing and creative input by Emblyne.
