| O Holy Night |   |
Well first of all, I should say I'm not really a religious person. I just happen to love this song. It stirs something deep in me and I love to hear the different interpretations of it rendered by various artists around this time of year. Perhaps its the swelling choruses, or the chordal arrangements. Maybe the time I spent in church when I was a kid had something to do with it after all. But more than anything, this song means Christmas to me. It inspires awe. Now I don't pretend to suggest this rendition will inspire awe. Not at all. In fact, this one is pretty flawed. I don't play much at all these days, and I am a complete novice as a singer. I basically had to re-learn how to do everything all over again with this song (re-learn how to play guitar, bass,drums, etc, how to use my recorder, how to do basically everything). That means I made so many mistakes, I had to do countless patches and "punch-ins" (you'll hear them everywhere). I finally had to give up because I ran out of time (I'm going out of town tomorrow and I wanted to post this on Bandamp tonight before I left). This is my Christmas offering...warts and all...maybe I'll do it better when I get time....anyway, here it is....Merry Christmas, guys!

Yeah !!!! Great to see you back on your gear to bring up something like this , Elvis....ääähh....Cat.Usually I´m far away from all this xmas stuff , but I think it´s a pretty unconventional Xmas song.
Can imagine it´s played on a german "Weihnachtsmarkt" with "Bratwust und Glühwein".
. Yeah , nice imagination
Merry Xmas and luck and healthiness

Wonderful voice and a wonderful piece. Thank you BC.
Xmas song without bells! great, i love it, and i dont love Xmas at all :P
Your voice is strong here, love the choruses!
didn't hear mistakes or punch-ins, its not important, its a beautiful song, i never heard it before
gonna listen some more, its better then the choirs on TV
PS. my gf is a choir singer and loves it too (she's is singing second voice on it now )
GREAT job! especially with the given circumstances of finding out how etc.
the cats will love it

Right! I've listened loads to this over the past festive days, it's been very fitting.
First things first...you dont half write some crap about your self!
This is excellent, beautiful, filled with peace and light.
The out of practice bit I can hear in the slight vibrato...but you keep all tones and take it further.....your just out of practice...cough! cough!
love it every time I listen....though in about an hour I'll be singing "Like a bridge over troubled waters I lay me down....." ..... classic stuff!

Wow, very nice indeed!
I must admit that I am not very familiar with the original, though there was somehting in here evoking distant memories.. I am not religious either and that makes me struggle with the lyrics, they are pretty damn disturbing from a mental health-wise point of view, but your vocal delivery is really good, perhaps not as smooth, but certainly as tender as Elvis indeed. And even though you say your instruments are rusty, you did a great job recording and mixing them, the end result being a nicely put together track, a touching listening experience worthy of an old fashioned family christmas gatherin indeed.
So I'm two months late better late than never, no?
Cheers

...and quite a magnificent version this is....(but Cartman can do SO much better..ever heard him sing "The Morning After" by Maureen McGovern?)
