music Post your favorite X-mas music or video

[Argumedies 1,748]

Well it's that time of year again and for the first time in quite a while I don't feel like a cranky ole mule

 

So in light of the up coming Harths warming agendas I wanted to share on what I feel is one of my favorite pieces of X-mas music and that is "Carol of the Bells"

 

However, (comma) there are three different versions of which I enjoy and I'm not sure which I like best so I will post all three.

 

The first is by Mannheim Steamroller

 

Carol of the Bells - Mannheim Steamroller:

 

The second is by the TSO

 

Carol of the Bells - Trans-Siberian Orchestra - H…:

 

And the last is by David Foster

 

David Foster - Carol Of The Bells:

 

I've picked these vids for the music, not the vids themselves but the last one is freakin adorable I must admit.

 

What other pieces of Christmas music do all of you like?

[Alex Z 848]

This is a pretty awesome song.

[Moonlight 7,279]

Anything on The Nightmare Before Christmas album if it counts, but my favorite video and song:

 

 

I also really like Michael Buble's Christmas album.

Christmas songs are notoriously awful as cheesy half the time. However, Carol Of The Bells (August Burns Red edition) and Wizards in Winter by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra are two songs I could listen to on repeat forever. And ever. And ever.

[Scootaloodle 1,621]

There's this cover of jingle bells

 

 

I also have a fun Disco style Christmas album by the Sleighriders from the early 1980s on vinyl which I like. It's the same old song's but 4/4 beats and a little more funky and it's good fun.

*Christmas

 

 

This is probably my favorite Christmas music. ^^

[Haruhi-chan 486]

I love Frosty the Snowman, Snoopy's Christmas, When Christmas Comes to Town, The Polar Express theme and Believe the most. <3 I love Frosty the most, actually. XD

[VulpineTaco 525]

Yep. Bulb is one weird human being.

[Envy 6,045]

Christmas music, you say?

 

 

I actually do like that lol, and it (the general song) is probably one of my favorites. Ironically, I tend to prefer the Christian songs over the poppy tunes. They can be really pretty, whereas the pop Christmas tunes tend to just be annoying to me.

 

But as I always have to post, I really like brass/orchestral renditions. I love this one in particular:

 

[Christmasy Britty 2,553]

honestly its too early for me to post christmasy stuff yet but ask me on black Friday and I will definitely post all the Christmas stuff

[Megas 27,234]

Seems like someone already did my job and posted the Trans Siberia Orchestra version of Carol of the Bells

 

Good work

[Celtore 2,769]

 

This has been my favourite since I was a kid. My dad recorded it on a cassette along with a bunch of other christmas songs.

[DubWolf 16,815]

Oh my gosh I love that song by Mannheim Steamroller too ! No need to post a video then.

 

That piece by the Siberian Orchestra is also cool .

[Wind Chaser 4,768]

Here's a favorite of mine from The Polar Express:

I'm preparing my playlist of songs that are underplayed by my local Christmas radio station for this season. Always come prepared.

from Pure Pwnage

 

Has become a tradition for me since it's release, was a huge fan of the show

 

[CC_Maud_Pie 6,431]

Not into Christmas music but here are a couple that I like.

 

The music industry needs more lyrics like this: 

[Argumedies 1,748]

Oh and we can't forget this version

Classic "American-Way-Of-Life" song.

 

 

This one aswell.. 

 

[Yoshi89 5,291]

The last month and a half of the year is the only time I can listen to Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra without guilt.   So here's one with them together that I like:

Mitt Hjerte Alltid Vanker as sung by Sissel--a Norwegian Christmas song that's just GORGEOUS. (so is Sissel...  )

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezQqFXsL49c

 

I actually fell in love with most of the album. I'd never heard any of these until I went to England and then found the album with her singing them.

 

Like an Angel Passing Through My Room

 

In the Bleak Midwinter

 

Vitae Lux

[Tameless 979]

It is a Christmas type video, but it's more focused on Black Friday. My all time favorite.

 

[Barbaloot 197]

 

Mmmmm, gotta love me some of that trans-Siberian Orchestra

[Wind Chaser 4,768]

Thought this thread could use a little revive. (You're awesome if you get that reference! )

 

Here is a nice recording of Jingle Bells I dug up a while ago, sung as it was originally written in 1857, with such a homely and epic touch to it courtesy of Tom Roush.

Here is an absolutely epic piece by the K Foundation/Red Army Choir, "K Cera Cera", a mashup of "Que Sera Sera (What Will Be Will Be)" with "Happy Xmas (War is Over)". The tone of the choir is epic, the tone of the audio effects is chilling and haunting, and it works very well as a Christmas song, especially in contrast to the common fare of this season.
