Carol of the Bells (Christmas Piano Cover)

[@Rousseau]

Merry Christmas!!! What a year 2018 has been, the best Christmas gift has been 8 months in the making, and that's all of YOU! Thank you for being such an amazing community, here's my gift for you. When we think of the standard Christmas carol, we usually think joyous and celebratory, but there's something about Carol of the Bells (originally Shchedryk, written by the Ukrainian composer Leontovych) that is just so magical, but still captures the Christmas spirit so well. My friend Patrik Pietschmann also released a video of his Carol of the Bells arrangement (also based on the Williams arr.) a few days ago, with FALLING SNOW FLAKES!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5OccmdsnL9sn6s Check it out and the rest of his channel too :D

The song sounds like that because it uses the first four notes of the melody of he old Gregorian chant "Dies Irae" (day of wrath), which is constantly used in movies to portray death and something scary. You can find the dies Irae melody in Star Wars, The Lion King, The Shining... There is a cool Sideways video on it, I think.

Hark how the bells, Sweet silver bells, All seem to say, Throw cares away Christmas is here, Bringing good cheer, To young and old, Meek and the bold. Ding dong ding dong That is their song With joyful ring All caroling. One seems to hear Words of good cheer From everywhere Filling the air. Oh how they pound, Raising the sound, O'er hill and dale, Telling their tale. Gaily they ring While people sing Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here. Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas, Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas. On on they send, On without end, Their joyful tone To every home. Ding dong ding dong Ding dong ding dong Hark how the bells, Sweet silver bells, All seem to say, Throw cares away (We will throw cares away) Christmas is here, Bringing good cheer, To young and old, Meek and the bold. (Bringing cheer to the young and old) Oh how they pound, Raising the sound, O'er hill and dale, Telling their tale. Gaily they ring While people sing Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here.

Nobody brings back to the past like music. In this music there is something elusive, something distant and dear. It touches to the depths of the soul, attracts like a magnet, fragments of memories. But we are grateful to the sky and the stars that it can sound like that. ...

[@Jantangan]

The night was as cold as the trigger of his gun, he walked down the slums, a snowy hell. Ice was cracking with his steps, everything was going straight to the end. Choosing to kill is always hard, but now, there's really no other way. They brought this to themselves. Who could imagine that two young thieves will slaughter his wife? He stood in the broken door frame, and looked forward. The little one was bleeding, the second was freezing, what a pitiful ending. But he was the one to finish it, even if he were to pay for it with prison. Two shots were heard this cold night, instead of bells.
