In a season of twinkling lights and fleeting moments, Jeremia arrives with an emotional reminder of what the holidays are truly about. “Be Like a Child Again (It’s Christmas)” is a warm, genuine invitation to return to the magic we so often lose when adulthood takes over, that soft twinkle of joy, kindness, and faith in small yet essential gestures.
Featuring a tender foundation of acoustic guitar, gentle strings, and emotive piano, the song gradually blossoms into a comforting pop/rock surge. Jeremia produces the song with a striking awareness, allowing each layer of instruments to reflect the emotive crescendo of its corresponding story. Instead of relying on holiday tropes, he offers a collection of personal snapshots, a child swathed in dreams, an older man yearning for something to hold onto, friends who choose kindness, and the simple fact that, at its core, Christmas’ heart shines brightest when people are brave enough to offer themselves up.
What gives the song its piercing resonance is its honesty. Jeremia isn’t just celebrating the season, he’s coaching listeners back to the emotional heart of it, that gentle, gemlike place where the imagination seems limitless, and generosity comes easily. The track is part memories, part hope, with a message firmly rooted in moments anyone can relate to.
“Be Like a Child Again (It’s Christmas)” is like entering a familiar room lit by warm candlelight. It’s meditative without being heavy, jubilant without being loud, and made with the sensibility of an artist who knows the emotional strings that keep the holidays together.
