Marillion - The Carol Of The Bells - Christmas 2013

[@charlottevictoria.hubbard7472]

There are hundreds of versions of this classic Christmas tune, but this by far the best.

[@Dutch_Brickbuilder]

completely agree with it!!!

[@MySoundscore]

Absolutely beautiful, especially the bond ending!❤

[@randyewing8552]

First time hearing this December 2024,...I'm blown away!!!...This is excellent!...Merry Christmas from Southern California!

[@MsVYND]

The guitar solo is absolutely brilliant. Great tune guys.

[@laurentbusignies3156]

The best!

[@ombrax5]

An awesome progrock version of an old folk song originated from Ukraine. This is "Shchedryk" by M. Leontovych. Well done Marillion!

@Leland Jermaine You are welcome :)

Although I've known Marillion since early 1984, I discover this only now... It makes me regret not to have taken part in the fanclub... This is wonderful. and the video is fun too ! I hope everybody in the band had a Merry Christmas 2022. All the best.

[@andreacalegari5388]

I could write the same words. Discovered this nice video just today. I know Marillion since the eighties too, i listen to many kind of music but sometimes Marillion come back to fill my heart with their music for days or weeks. Hope to go to their next concert in Padova in 2023. Happy new year

[@brianjudge]

Excellent. A classic Christmas song with a Steve Rothery guitar solo. It doesn't get much better than that.

[@zevenaar01]

Most Christmas song last 3 minutes, a decent Christmas song has a guitar solo after 4:30 minutes.

[@Titangbw]

I am so glad that Marillion is around .makes my soul happy....................

[@entertherealmofchaos]

The official version for me

[@carlosealcobia]

Superbe !

[@christinephilp6312]

As wonderful in 2020 as it was in 2013. Thank you!

[@stuarthowarth2972]

This, and Fairytale of New York are my favourite Christmas songs

Speaking as someone who is a total curmudgeon at this time of year, this one has managed to raise a smile. Brilliant :-) Best Christmas song since The Darkness

[@josercoha4389]

When Marillion, Santa, guitars and the end of the year meet the result is this one!

[@RockonMarketingTV]

Love this...especially the mashing with the James Bond theme & Ian's mysterious transformation to a rather forlorn looking Santa!

[@lizzietaylor8523]

Wow wow Wooooooooooooooow!!!!!! This is the best band of the world... Love Marillion S2

[@Marillionaire]

This is still my all time favourite Chris song. Love it ❤️

[@lorenmontespino7264]

I only just found this version of "Carol of the Bells" today. I've been a Marillion fan since 1983, when NONE of my friends here in the US had heard of these weird bands, Marillion, and what was that other band called? You too?.... I kind of lost track of them about ten years ago now, so missed the release of this.. But this is GREAT! I really LOVE this! Well, all but the last forty seconds of the video (and accompanying pseudo bluegrass music as the car peels out...). Great version of the song and smashing guitar solo. I may have to download this and amputate everything from 7.06 onward. Up to that point, though, I really do love this version. Anyway, to everyone out there, merry, Merry, MeRrY, MERRY, Christmass!

[@joylunn3445]

From the UK. I've always found this carol weirdly creepy. I love it.

[@dennispuleo9575]

Lauren check out citizen cain Great band!!!! I'm from joyzee!

[@markkerslake7614]

I have played this every year since gods band released it, just brilliant!

[@lostmarbles3743]

I'm litterally aching from too much laughter! XD Love Marillion

[@mercedesapodaca1477]

He descubierto MARILLION durante 2020 , de las pocas cosas para recordar de este año..Son extraordinarios !! Me trasladan a otra dimensión, son mágicos..!!!!

[@shauntbarry]

Loving the James Bond at the end! Great tune chaps!

[@patrickdoba342]

Brilliant traditional song played in a brilliant version by the brilliant Band MARILLION. Lovin' it!!!

[@MenezesDailton]

This musical arragement of progressive rock to this song got me very thrilled. Thank you for this gift. Merry Christmas from Brazil

[@hanorak77]

Brilliantly funny, merrymerrymerrymerrymerry Christmas...!!!

[@welshtechie6832]

THAT solo - amazingly beautiful playing - kicks the sweep picking so called experts in to dust!!!

[@AgustinFigari]

Probably the Best version of this Song, from probably the Best band in the whole world. Merry proggy Christmas.

[@thomasmead4642]

Just discovered this, very nice.

[@digibirder]

Its so Marillion, and so good!

[@briangavin6258]

You guys continue to surprise & amaze! I can't imagine what life would be like without Marillion.

[@interstellarjoel]

One of my favorite Christmas songs, done by one of my all-time favs! Brilliant!

[@PotsofPaint]

Getting close to 50, 000 views in less than a week snd still the radio won't play it. Absolutely perfect for the Christmas season. If it was Robbie Williams radio etc would ve falling over themselves to play it. Just a few prime time plays on radio thats all I ask!!

[@tinametcalfe654]

Brilliant song!

[@kingcurry6594]

Brilliant, as always. I'm so looking forward to seeing these guys at the Rambling Man festival in July. Last time was at Nostell Priory in 1982 when they were just starting. It's been too long. Add Pendragon, Ian Anderson, The Pineapple Thief and the ever amazing Camel and I should be in heaven.

[@TheDlesage]

I watch this "religiously" (lol) every year during the holidays. You guys are the ABSOLUTE best!

[@GeorgVoros]

Utterly brilliant. Love the James Bond addition... and yes it is a little tongue in cheek!

[@NLEZE0]

Happy Holidays to Marillion. Hope to see you again in 2014!!!!

[@OetteTV]

oooooooooooooooohyeah...what a happy Christmas...... Ich verfolge Marillion seit meiner Jugend...Mit FISH natürlich die großen Zeiten aber auch mit H viele schöne Erinnerungen. Einfach eine tolle Band - Leider fehlt es manchmal zum ganz großen Wurf. Ich weis nicht wie es Euch geht - Das Ding hier ist komischerweise einer der geilsten Songd der letzen Jahre...heheh WEITER SO....... love and peace and merry Christmas.. ÖTTE

[@lbp1961]

Thank you for your humor and your wonderful imagination and your amazing music. Merry Christmas.

[@D3VV1L666]

Fantastic. .... A brilliant post.

[@harleydogvm]

Absolutely brilliant.Should be the christmas number one.

[@dmtaylo1]

4:43 if you want to cut to the chase... the master displays his mastery. Love the playfulness of the whole rendition. Fun.

[@keepcalmandcarryon8934]

Not so many christmas carols in my french culture. I came here because of that particularly lovely song i'm actually learning (singing help me to handle confinment due to the pandemia !), and this version is... wow ! I love the liberty Marillion took with the arrangment. It has to be done, they did it. Thank you for that.

[@curtis1976smw]

'wow' what to watch again and again.......thanks guys.

[@adrianazayas]

Hogart, you and your band are the best!! Love you!! thanks guys

[@jonhunter8737]

Love that the bass progression is exactly the Bond theme! Nothing says Christmas more than a Bond movie!!!!!!!!!!

[@miltonveto1]

Fantastic

[@fio_bee]

Dad keeps playing this. He loves Marillion. My sister keeps getting creeped out by the video though

[@guycore5478]

[@petealdridge821]

I play their version of The Carol Of The Bells throughout the year, much to the bemusement of my co workers. I can really let rip for the next three weeks or so 😂

[@fabien28290]

Beautiful clip and song xx

[@RichAndJak]

Mr Taurus will never bore us! Merry Christmas one and all...

[@ReidarH72]

FINALLY!!! A proper Christmas song! Love it! Epic ending! (Love the Ian Anderson props) Have a Great Christmas and a Great New Year!

[@mattstanley5522]

Another for the list of great SR solos. A little reminiscent of Runaway - no bad thing.

[@MiddleAgedPixie]

Marillion are the best...Merry Christmas Marillion! :)

[@maryrbw]

I loved this when the DVD arrived and I happily purchased and downloaded an MP3 of it!! My Christmas is complete!!!

[@harry.lassche5423]

MP3? holy.....Marillion must be FLAC.

[@shaneeegan]

Gorgeous! A little early Christmas present! It could go viral!

[@nunziamaccarrone9103]

Marillion for ever in my hearth

[@babboon5764]

LOL! Are you *sure* you meant hearth Nunzia? (Maybe you did, could be a cultural idiom thing).

[@vaninapautot6773]

Thank you for this beautiful gift for my ears, for my eyes and my soul !

[@Sirrom5]

This is fucking BOSS!!! Christmas officially starts when this goes on! November, December, whatever!!!! Love the Bond riff too! Bond movies a SO Xmas!!! Love it!

[@Tanya1325]

Dark overtones to the chorus - made me put on an omen movie. Addictive guitars - made me want to listen over and over.

[@raylou1000]

Nice, because it's a interpretation of a classic with the Marillion sound.

[@INSTRUCARP]

Brilliant!

[@PhotoLighthouse]
