Lyrics: [Intro] Hoo (Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum) (Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum) (Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum) (Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum) (Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum) (Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum) (Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum) (Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum) [Verse 1] Chestnuts roasting on an open fire Jack Frost nipping at your nose Yuletide carols being sung by a choir And folks dressed up like Eskimos (Ah-ah, ah-ah) Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe Will help to make the season bright Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow Will find it hard to sleep tonight [Verse 2] They know that Santa's on his way He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh And every mother's child is gonna spy To see if reindeer really know how to fly [Verse 3] And so I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from one to ninety-two (Woah-woah-woah-woah-woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) Although it's been said many times, many ways Merry Christmas to you [Melodica Solo] [Verse 4] And so I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from onе to ninety-two (Three, four, five, six, sevеn, eight, nine) Although it's been said many times, many ways Merry Christmas Merry Christmas Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas) Merry Christmas Merry Christmas Merry Christmas to you [Verse 5] And so (And so) I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from one to ninety-two Although it's been said many times, many ways Merry Christmas (To you) Merry Christmas Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas) To you (You) I'm already ready for the Christmas season. Have a merry Christmas everyone. May God bless you!

[@boulejazz]

Jacob is not only pioneering micro tonality but integrating it so smoothly into traditional harmony. .. his micro-chords are just melting into traditional harmony. It's so natural the average listener has no idea what's happening; he's even winning Grammys. But music theorists and scholars are scratching their heads in confusion and disbelief because it sounds amazing and they can't understand it or teach it...and NO ONE can duplicate it. How fortunate we are to be witnessing this rare event in music history. The Western scale and harmony hasn't seen this type of transition since Bach. Music scholars... I welcome your historical perspectives. Happy Holidays Jacob Collier and thanks for sharing your rare gift.

I can't describe what it is, but Jacob's music has something that connects so deeply with something inside me. Ever since I discovered him I feel more and more interested in music, I appreciate it much more, and every time I listen his albums I discover something new, almost like a game. The only thing that I feel sorry about is that I won't be able to listen to his songs for the first time again, because that moment is magical. They make me feel whole, alive, happy, relaxed, relieved... and above all in peace. So Jacob, thank you so much for all of this and for everything that is to come. And Merry Christmas to you too! 🎄

Jacob is a great inspiration for young musicians, and I believe he has created things nobody had ever even considered so. His musical motifs and methods will continue to be heard in the music of years to come. The fact that he is only 26 years old is astonishing; time will only tell what kind of grounds he will shake and boundaries he will break. Jacob has been able to marry pop, choral, funk, soul, folk, jazz, and countless more genres so far, and I think he will continue to resonate with his audience; maybe even expand it.

The run he does at 2:59 is so amazing. The way that it rises using wider intervals makes it feel so open and vast, then when he resolves the E to the F!! I can't stop listening to that part. Literal music to my ears!

I can guarantee that within the first 5 seconds of the track Jacob will have captured the entire sound and feeling of Christmas

[@josephsollis6604]

I don't usually listen to Xmas songs this early, but this is an exception

[@katyw.6526]

Ditto!

[@zakimtshali8105]

I smiled the whole way through this video. Jacob’s voice warms my heart so much

[@parkerhewett6731]

This guy just doesn’t miss

[@MinkyBoodle44]

I cannot stop listening to 4:05 to 4:51. These chords penetrate my very soul.

[@rudolfboukal1538]

Before the video even starts, I just click the "like" button ..... why wait? Simply brilliant arrangement!!!! Jacob makes me smile - he exudes joy and enjoyment. While I truly enjoy his collaborations with others, it is nice to, once again, absorb his solo effort. Brilliant and wonderful. The high spot of an otherwise gloomy day and week ... THANK YOU JACOB!!!!

[@mateorincon3448]

I listen to this even when it’s not Christmas

[@hasihome6681]

Absolutely mental! This blew me away. How he plays with microtonal tonalities especially in the end unbelievable!

[@nicki1128]

My God Jacob that's absolutely gorgeous

[@didierarnoult]

so beautiful harmonies

[@juliandelicio767]

Basically Moon River had a child on Christmas. Another proof that Jacob is Jesus for music.

[@kving_z9831]

[@robote7679]

I don't even like Christmas music...but this just seems to melt into my heart and soul and bring tears to my eyes. Jacob is a magician.

[@criticaltinkering]

Thank you, Jacob!

[@TheWilljasper123]

That's beyond beautiful, Jacob.

[@adolfomarineto9223]

It feels a lot like moon river , which is good because it means you’ve developed a signature, unique sound and a very distinctive way of arranging. I listen to this things on repeat, they are mind blowing and so pleasing to listen to at the same time. Big congrats Jacob

[@andrewstump6138]

3:57 another microtonal modulation!!! The absolute mad lad!! Incredible and also breathtakingly beautiful!!

[@ljchisholm8128]
