My love for the song “Carol of the Bells” shows no bounds.
No matter what version, as long as it’s decent voices/music, I will adore it.
A cappella, instrumental, accompanied, heavy, chill…does not matter.
Seriously. I have a problem.
I mean, besides the fact that I’m picky with my holiday music in general…it’s just so perfect to me.
Hark! how the bells, sweet silver bells, all seem to say, “Throw cares away.” Christmas is here bringing good cheer to young and old, meek and the bold. “Ding, dong, ding, dong”, that is their song, with joyful ring, all caroling. One seems to hear words of good cheer from everywhere, filling the air. Oh, how they pound, raising the sound, o’er hill and dale, telling their tale. Gaily they ring while people sing songs of good cheer, Christmas is here. On, on they send, on without end, their joyful tone to ev’ry home. Ding, dong, ding, dong… [always and forever my favorite]
For my frans again…and anyone who appreciates an awesome choral men’s group.
Straight No Chaser
Also a favorite…mostly because it’s my favorite Christmas song done really well…but partially because it’s a really awesome men’s choir.
