Once Upon A December (from Anastasia) 【covered by Anna】[2022]

Hello everyone! This week Once Upon A December from Anastasia.
You know what they say, the third time is the charm.
There was a huge phase where I HATED this song. It was requested all the time on livestreams and I was soooo sick of it. Clearly, I’m not sick of it anymore. It is also super cool to be able to hear the progression of my voice over the past 5 years.
I am sorry for the lack of uploads this month. I usually try to end the year off with a bang but between equipment issues and running on fumes, not much was accomplished. This will be my last upload of 2022 because I am tired and need a nice long break. As per usual, I'll be gone until the end of January but then we'll be back in the swing of things. I hope you all have a great holiday season and I'll see you then : )
As always, thank you all so much for your continued love and support! I hope you have a fantastic few weeks and I’ll see you all January 28th.

I don't like Christmas music but I do like Anastasia and the title includes "December" so that has to count for something right?

[@AwkwardIndividual]

Definitely counts. I'm so excited to listen

[@Poly_Bunny_A.M]

I loved your last once upon a December cover so this is just ngbsgbdthggsgh I’ll call it an early Christmas present

[@dezceased]

REAL👊

[@tonysilva9548]

Lol same

[@11_Reaper_11]

Its cool :D

[@Morncreek]

Once Upon a December is one of those songs that always, always causes me to tear up. The desire to remember being loved and cared for and happy, but only the recollection of a faceless voice singing a lullaby. 😭

[@rainebow_kitty6142]

This description is absolutely heartbreakingly gorgeous and captures everything I've felt about this song for the past forever. Thank you.

[@g.g4761]

Why did this just make my heart feel heavy, you should maybe become a writer

[@EternalDreamer85]

This song had me bawling so hard.

[@Morncreek]

​@@g.g4761 I believe most anyone is able to identify with the feelings of wishing for a time and life different from the actuality of their existence, and the lonely grief that comes from asking, "What if?"

[@AshleesBathroom]

YES. ANOTHER COVER OF THIS SONG. I love that this is now a yearly tradition.

[@annapantsu]

every December gets a new cover great idea

[@kathleenburns7065]

Could add a metal cover one year that would be cool!

@@annapantsu it could be like an improvement check!

This song is so beautiful and so sad... she thinks she's imagining a grand ball but she's really reliving her last memory of her family and her home...without even knowing she's dancing with her father and sisters... she doesn't even know why she's vaguely sad and it HURTS MY HEART! THIS IS SO WELL DONE!!! YOUR VOICE IS BEAUTIFUL!

[@SoSpecters]

well there goes the tears. Never even really thought of it that way, but that CUTS DEEP.

[@garrettviewegh9028]

I can’t help but sob at this song. That scene, it perfectly illustrates the bittersweet tale, the melancholy love and longing. A family’s love, frozen and cold in history, a story as framed in tragedy, just like that fateful night. Once, upon a December.

[@Otisboy121]

I can see myself playing this at a ball and Dancing the night away with my true love!😊

[@pumpkinhead7602]

I’m so happy that Anna redid this cover she did amazing 🤩

[@morganalafey2930]

I was very confused for a second but THE IMPROVEMENT? flawless! Here's to a new year filled with more Anna! See you next year!!

[@heyhey6392]

LYRICS: Dancing Bears Painted Wings Things I almost remember And a song someone sings Once upon a December Someone holds me safe and warm Horses prance through a silver storm Figures dancing gracefully across my memory Someone holds me safe and warm Horses prance through a silver storm Figures dancing gracefully across my memory Far away, long ago, Glowing dim as an ember, Things my heart Used to know Things it yearns to remember And a song someone sings Once upon a December

[@TheRealXboxNerd]

Absolutely counts as a Christmas song you're all good. Amazing as always! 👌🏻

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

Not really but it is beautiful nonetheless.

[@beeptheexistingperson4715]

[@julianame9424]

This is straight up magical, I'm getting actual chills. The harmonies, the backing music, the VOCALS I can't. This is so amazing!!!

[@sophielem59]

Wow! I didn't except another version of Once Upon A December!! So happy!! Thank you Anna!! 💙

[@WhereNajaDoesStuff]

Say what you want about the movie's historical accuracy (I watched it with a history nerd; the accuracy is atrocious), this song is written with liquid fire lyrics and icy chilling sound. ...which means it's a song of ice and fire! ... I'll see myself out.

[@bleehh]

This came at the perfect time; I was just on the verge of a mental breakdown after a profoundly shitty day, week, year - whatever. But Anna's voice never fails to calm me down.

Танцующие медведи, расписные крылья Вещи, которые я почти помню И песня, которую кто-то поет Однажды в декабре Кто-то держит меня в безопасности и в тепле Лошади проходят через серебряную бурю Фигуры изящно танцуют На протяжении всей моей памяти Кто-то держит меня в безопасности и в тепле Лошади проходят через серебряную бурю Фигуры изящно танцуют На протяжении всей моей памяти Далеко, давно Светящийся тусклый, как уголь Вещи, которые знало мое сердце Вещи, которые он жаждет запомнить И песня, которую кто-то поет Однажды в декабре..

this gave me goosebumps, I've always been a huge fan of Anastasia and i would sing this song when i was younger ALL THE TIME. You did an amazing job on this cover so now imma have it on repeat until i go to bed.

[@eldiamante1221]

Even better than 3 years ago... you have a beautiful voice.🤩💙😍

[@DustinBlaise]

I used to sing the original all the time while in my car. Once I had some friends in the car and one of them never heard me sing before and this song came on. By the time it was done, her mouth was dropped and asked "Where did that come from?". Such a great song and easy song to learn. This version is great! keep it up! :)

This movie is literally my childhood and those harmonies are so gorgeous

[@applesqace]

Ahhhh yes so happy to see you come back to this song again! It sounds amazing!!

[@Ravenovia]

Imagine if she did “Unredeemable” from Spirited. It’s a Christmas movie, but not a Christmas song-it’s just a normal song that happens to be RIDICULOUSLY GOOD. Like, with those lyrics? Tears. Waterfalls. First note, and waterfalls.

[@braxtoncain9037]

Anastasia is my favorite movie. My great grandmother had a vhs tape of it and would play it for me when I visited. I have a hard time listening to the songs now because she passed but it always reminds me of her. So thanks for the reminder of her ❤

[@catapaz1301]

I listened to this cover from the day it was released but hadn't had time to comment, I really loved it, Anastasia is one of my favorite and heartwarming movies, and since she recently turned 25, I've been a bit nostalgic about this one, and your version current of Once upon a time gave me years of life, I love your work

[@GhostFan4Life]

Anna's beautiful voice is one of many good things we don't deserve to have in the world but we still get it anyway. This was my grandfather's favorite holiday song and it means so much that you're singing it, especially when I'm trying to accept that he's no longer around anymore. Well done!

[@raymondgood6555]

The murder of the Czar of Russia and his family is something I think of whenever I hear this song. It was a tragedy which did not have to happen.

[@Mlppvzfan2]

But, then what would have save the Turks and Czars later? If this did not unfold, then later, the bolshevicks could try to come back and destroy everything and everyone this time, even if the Ottomans existed they would probably try to take some old-lost land, which could result in their destruction, now, you may Hate the Ottoman Empire, but to some it is the grandest empire to ever exist.

[@raymondgood6555]

@@Mlppvzfan2 I hate no one. The czar and his family could have been sent to many countries and lived a happy life in exile. Murdering them in such a brutal fashion just made the new government look like monsters- which they were.
