Place Music Request Here

[Alley 8,149]

It's almost time for my annual 25 days of Christmas music count down. Every year I have gotten requests. Sometimes on the list, and sometimes not. This year, I thought I'd let everyone make their requests before I started the count down. You can tell me what you'd like, give me a link, or place it on here. But fair warning, I will not be placing santa baby on there! I sooooooooooooooooooooo dislike that song!

I've loved this ever since I was little!

My kids spotted this, and I had to watch the whole thing before they would let me reply. I might have to add a kids song day.

There's a wonderful gem that sits hidden in plain sight...

 

The traditional carol, "Hark, The Herald Angels Sing," has absolutely everything in Christmas music, but we often obscure it, by playing only a fraction of its content.

 

If you listen closely to all 4 or 5 verses of the Wesley or Whitefield versions of the song, you hear not only a song about Christ's nativity in a remarkably joyous and praiseful expression, but a condensed but complete gospel message, which we rarely find in a Christmas song. This is a little curious, as the gospel message is the whole reason Christmas is joyful in the first place, yes?

 

Anyway, once i realized that this song had it all, it instantly became my runaway, totally, completely favorite Christmas song, and I can't help but burst into tears in that super special moment when we sing it in our church service. Sadly, i may not be in a live service to sing it this year, but it still moves me deeply, whenever I hear it...

I agree with you on this one too.

 

I will request anything from Trans-Siberian Orchestra, but What Child Is This, Christmas Eve / Sarajevo, or a Mad Russian's Christmas are my favorites!

@Alley Haha, your kids are sweet!

This is the one of my favorites. I think the people who wrote the song usually have the best version because they know the real intent behind the song

 

I also really enjoyed this instrumental mix of Christmas songs

 

Here's a different kind of Christmas song - Quiet Christmas by Fred McNaughton

Beautiful, Wes! It's difficult to sing and blubber at the same time, isn't it? I'm like that with Rock of Ages. I can still hear my grandmother's off-key voice singing it.

 

Silent Night many times brings tears as well. And love Mary, Did You Know?

Can you play "My Feet are on the Rock?"

Not with the Christmas ones, but I will play it for you here! How about the lego version?
