Shchedryk - Carol of the Bells

[@katrinatheawesome]

I don't know how I managed to only hear this for the first time now, but it is hauntingly beautiful

[@Cohenism]

I've had to listen to tasteless Christmas music for the last month and a half at work. I've never been happier to hear Christmas music.

[@bryanlcrockett]

The holidays aren’t a good time for me, but every year I listen to this a bunch. It’s kind of turned into a good holiday tradition for me. Thanks for making it.

[@pyronix]

This is still my favorite interpretation of this carol.

[@Sevrapond]

Was here 11 years ago & here now! Christmas Eve 2020 ✌🏻

[@doug]

woooooww.. michael i had no idea you were such a musical genius!

[@Goblinspiritttv]

This music needs to be on spoify

[@katiedid536]

I have come to expect nothing short of awesome from you Michael Aranda and yet again you have delivered just that. I can see why Levi was anticipating this video with such excitement. I'm most impressed.

[@MichaelMMorganm984638]

Two steps away from exploding into a Linkin Park concert version! Left me wanting more!

[@grife3000]

Wow, such bittersweet memories of such a great adaptation. Merry Christmas, Michael Aranda, wherever you are.

[@tabzerek]

This is AMAZING. seriously gave me the chills. i wish all christmas songs sounded like this

[@pentaclewitch11]

this has to be one of my favorite versions of this song i've ever heard. And Carol of the bells is the only christmas song i really like. Awesome job! :-) *fav*

[@swarburton24]

Was expecting the Ukrainian version, but congrats, you took something that was already creepy as hell and made it VERY dark.

[@chanopoop]

Normally I absolutely hate christmas carols, they drive me up the wall, but I love Carol of the Bells. This version is very good and it captures the haunting sound of the sound beautifully.

[@hexachordal]

This is the best video I have seen in weeks. You are... just amazing.

[@Kristina]

Weird, it worked in the email notification I got of it. Anyway, my reactions beginssss.. now: :O TELL ME YOU LOVE ME.

[@katieshelby]

I was... absolutely hypnotized. It felt like a dream. A dream that's weird and kind of scary but not a nightmare. That was incredible.

[@Mittopotahis]

This is beyond amazing. Spectacular job Michael, with both the audio and video.

[@AECSRQ]

This is quite a work of art, Michael. Amazing job on the video and soundtrack. Arandavision raises the bar.

[@cynthialynnn]

how is it possible that i am in love with every video you make?:) amazing as usual michael!

[@sivartis]

Very interesting, Michael. Lots of fun :-) Visually vibrant, and thought the arrangement is harder than I usually like, the combination of it and the editing was stunning. ~Trav

[@messeduntilnogood]

I love this Michael and Rene, great version! I'll spread the link -it's worth it

[@KeaJei]

i was surprised when i noticed this was uploaded on 2008. i've been a subscriber for a long time and i knew this version just last month.

[@13kd7]

for me this song was always somehow terrifying, it has a very positive lyrics, but music is extremely sad. like you pretend to be happy about the coming future but as a matter of fact you dont expect anything good, you're scared and just fooling yourself. this fear is, for me, what you brought to the surface in this arrangation. amazing.

[@clandestinecoherence]

i agree. everyone of his videos is worthy of a global feature.

[@thegabrielhyde]

I actually just looked up Shchedryk, clicked through to this and liked it - then I noticed whose channel it was on. Win.

[@pandapandax]

This is terrific. I love your take on it. This is my favorite christmas carol.. And you made it so much more modern. Ahhhhh so cool.

[@Sunblam]

The music was really great, and the video was awesome. And also the editing was pretty amazing... Really great video over all! :D

[@AjaxtheGoat]

Great editing job, and well done with the shooting, the camera was the co-stars this video with that amazing arrangement. Kudos. MAD KUDOS.

[@jhoney313]

Ding! It's like a Christmas kaleidoscope! ..with incredible music! Iloveit! I'm really glad that you did a video for this song. :D

[@thelegitbb]

Listening to this again for the Christmas spirit.

[@fyiagcg]

this still gives me the chills, every time i watch it.

[@craigiedon]

That was a whole bunch of Christmas awesome. Loved it

[@andi4325]

You pretty much just pwned Christmas. :) Loved it. I keep hitting the replay button. Woot!

[@IAmTheBookie]

Very well done! I really enjoyed it. I also really love watching the videos of someone who can edit well.

[@LightBrightInc]

I love this. I thank the Vlogbrothers extensively for introducing me to this KZbin genius. :D

[@meshuganaartist]

I'm sooo looking forward to the day the whole world (including you) gets to see your name on the big screen in some spectacular film. YOU HAVE TALENT! p.s. i love ya

[@SomeRobyn]

its weird how a song, even remade into something completely different than you remember it [but not in a bad way :)] can still fill you with the same feeling. I love Christmas. the song is amazing :]

[@iCerial]

a comment for the complete and utter blowing away of my mind that was amaaaaazing

[@BeerAndBagels]

dude, this was freakin sweet XD hope you had an amazing christmas!

[@zostertoaster]

minus the seizure just had there at the end (just kidding) this was absolutely incredible. LOVED IT!!! You are so talented, Michael seriously, this was amazing also, coincidentally I sang Shchedryk in my chorus performance about a month ago.

[@TehMuNjA]

nice arrangement and filming, they go well together, gave me goosebumps

[@twoseventyone]

[@alperen90]

[@shakenjason]

[@8Tails]

[@Kristina]

Um. This was amazing. It makes me want to just go do Christmas over again.

[@notacidnoralkaline]

This is amazing. Like really amazing. Like really, really amazing. I loved the end especially

[@Christi543]

I've always thought this song sounded somewhat eerie, but your arrangement tops all I've heard in that department. I really like it.

[@VanGaore]

DUDE!! That's freaking awesome!! Merry Christmas! Happy Kwanzaa! Happy New Year!

[@HaliAngel123]

[@emleerox]

I'm not so much a Christmas person, but this kinda put me in the holiday spirit :)

[@JohnsTinyWoodshop]

Wow, awesome. I liked how the image was shaking in beat at certain points during the song.

[@MikesMultiVideos]

Good job Michael and Rene

[@guiltyofpiracy]

I think we all agree that that was pretty outstanding. You're so talented :) I would love an mp3 of that. Maybe you should put your songs on iTunes!

[@FionaZero]

[@kelsothenerd]

I wish all christmas carols were like this!

[@Cody_Skye]

[@xkiwibabe27x]

This is so hauntingly beautiful..

[@Thekeega]

I'm not even Christian and I think this is amazing!

[@morganburt2565]

This is freaking great!!! So metal!

[@speedyconkiwi]

The visuals made me feel like being trapped inside a huge Christmas ornament. The song was brilliant, all together very much a 5 star thing. Yep yep.

[@peridotbaby]

Being Ukrainian, it put a smile on my face. Kudos.

[@Pandarmoniummm]

This is amazing! Just like, wow. You are a brilliant composer! This has just been so well written; gives me chills! Reminds me of The Nightmare Before Christmas. Actually, reminds me of the 'This is Halloween' cover by Marilyn Manson. Bought this on iTunes about 30 seconds into listening to the song for the first time.

[@Hannahcantcometothephone]

Very lovely. Intense, too.

[@MheHauf]

Frickin awsome dude you got some skills i wnat a copy of that

[@KioshiT]

That was amazing! You really are my idol.

[@Fralmunk]

That was brilliant :) Well done.

[@JosephEstril]

I love this carol. Last year I wrote Nerdfighter words to it.

[@ohgia17]

that was beyond amazing!

[@himitsusj1]

This is fascinating. I honestly can't decide whether I like it or not...I kind of do, but at the same time feel like I shouldn't? I don't know. *listens again*

[@rockpaperstuuph]

I agree with everyone who says that you should make the mp3 available. That was amazing.

[@briemiracle]

this video is hypnotizing

[@francoissbabez]

This is awesome, I love it!

[@Cookemonster2]

fabulous.

[@jmerten5]

You are incredibly talented at both video and audio. Truly you are gifted, Merry Christmas! I just wish I could do what you can in my videos.
