There are many more Sounds of Christmas that we could share and enjoy, but my time is up - December ends, so until next year the Christmas music will take a back seat. I might sneak it out every once in a while though. (shhh! don't tell anyone)
I wanted to share this next song earlier, but it wouldn't play in Blogger so I add it here. Just click on the title and it will link you to YouTube to hear / experience
A beautiful sound ... A beautiful message ... A beautiful feeling ...
Highland Cathedral on Amy Grant A Christmas to Remember(this brings memories of traveling to and from church with the kids, playing this song over and over again, sometimes as loudly as we could handle it...more smiles! I'm sure we had air instrument players in every seat belt.)
FYI - I was listening to that song play in the background as I was working on another tab. That is how I listen to a lot of the music I listen to. And a lot of it I have to go back and exit out because it's not what I want to hear. Sometimes it's well worth it, and this was one of those times - the next song came on - so tender and soft for the first part of it.
This song seems to be the retelling of the Christmas story and what it means to each of us. If each of us would answer the questions in this song it might open our eyes to what we might do better.
Do You Have Room? (New Christmas Song by Shawna Edwards)
This reminds me that WISE MEN STILL SEEK HIM!
I wish to be wise! That would be my first wish if I had three wishes. I can think of several I'd like to wish for, but I don't know if they would be best, so if I had that wish granted first my next two wishes would be the right two wishes.
Sounds so exciting right! Well..., reality check - no three wishes available.
I think I love this song because of the video that is with it. It's hope for a better future, hope for repentance, hope for forgiveness, hope for peace ...
Among my favorites is The Piano Guys. They are easy listening all year round. Their arrangements are awesome - songs like This is Your Fight Song , A Thousand Years , Story of My Life ...,
okay, this is supposed to be about Christmas songs, but those songs I listed above are inspiring to me. :)
John Schmidt's daughter sings at the end of this first song and it is so sweet.
Sharing ... A beautiful sound ... beautiful message ... a beautiful feeling ... I have always enjoyed the story and song of the Little Drummer Boy, and this arrangement is intriguingly beautiful.
These guys are awesome to listen to and they give Silent Night a great new sound.
Silent Night by Celtic Thunder
This is an older video, but one of the good ones. George Donaldson passed away in March of 2014 and I miss his voice with the group, but it's still a great group. It's interesting to see the new additions through the years and it's fun to see their individual looks change thru the years as they get older and their styles change. The nature of this group makes it easy for members to be replaced without too much difficulty for the listener/viewers, but we still have our favorites.
First time we heard this song was several years ago on a Liken video, and we wished we had it on CD. Internet is a wonderful thing! We can find a lot of what we want there. And we can share.
A CAPELLA SONG: He's Born from "The First Christmas"
I first heard today's song in a music video created last year. The music video was one of some friends (BJo and friends) who were cutting down a tree and decorating it (at her apartment). I still have that video clip on my phone and when the grandkids look at my photos they love to play it. It brings smiles and gives pleasure every time we hear it.
However, there are consequences for letting the grandchildren play with my phone. One posted "My Story" on Instagram. :)
I don't even know how to do that :) Pretty cute though!
But that does mean that I have to watch more closely or they won't be playing with my phone as often. When did I ever start letting them play with it? I should have never let that happen.
If any of you follow me you may have wondered what in the world was happening, because I don't post on Instagram :) But then again, you probably knew what was happening.
BJo knew what was happening and she informed me. I didn't even know about it. She had to step me though trying to get my Instagram back to Home. Yip - I'm that bad! :/
Trickiest part of that conversation was me trying to explain what was on my phone so she knew what to tell me to do with it. We made it happen - she's good that way. :)
We had some great fun watching Beckett with my phone Sunday. BJo FaceTimed me and Beckett loved it. He HAD TO HAVE that phone in his hand - loving, kissing, talking, pointing, laughing..., it was so fun. We couldn't get a word in or see each other while he was around. ;)
If this video works, you will see the video of BJo's friends. If not, I'm sorry! Just know that it was great fun for them.
It was so fun to hear the real thing online, and it was exciting to click the mouse to pin it to my Christmas Music board. :) I'm still smiling! (:
It is a fun song!
