[@michaelt.5672]

True that. I'm still waiting for someone to do "O come o come Emmanuel" in the style of a war song. The closest I've heard was Theocracy's metal version of it. But still, the "hero arriving on the battlefield" sound should be in a lot more christmas songs.

​@@CantusTropus I'd bet good money that, at least in this song, the treble voice is a boy. They may have a sister that sings in some parts of other songs, but the timbre of this voice just sounds like a treble boy.

[@connorcrafton-tempel6883]

The higher voice is most likely a boy. I don’t have much of a background in music, but I know in traditional choirs, the sopranos and altos are young boys (especially in England)

[@thomasvonaquin2381]

Obscure bl00dm00n You are completely right that there are similarities between the Edda and the Myths created by Tolkien.

This is wonderful. I broke my “no Christmas music before First Vespers of Advent” rule just to listen to this. Speaking of Advent: If you all could do just a version of Veni Veni Emmanuel I would be overjoyed. It was such a tease to hear it done so wonderfully in last year’s Christmas medley

[@blackdeath4eternity]

uhm.... allergic reactions to anything x-mass related due to the over-playing of the music starting a month back every year for the last 10+ years? just a guess at a possibility, after all i nearly have that reaction to anything related these days but i still found this pleasant so...

[@coregoon]

There's always someone. I guess some might object to the topic of the song despite liking the tune (oh hi), but that also seems a silly reason to Dislike, since they didn't write it, they just sang it.

[@AnarchistPoop]

Cause its religious garbage? I didn't dislike it, mind you....but I can see why people would. Fed up, in so many levels, of religious crap.

The best version of this I’ve ever heard. But I think “wind” in this is to be pronounced to rhyme with “find/mind/behind”.

But it’s no big deal, and the song is still fantastic. God bless you all, and a Happy Christmas.
