Anastasia, caleb hyles, once upon a December, lyrics

[@felisadidas4932]

*Caleb:* Wanna see me make a breath-taking cover of the song "Once upon a December"? *Caleb:* ... *Caleb:* Wanna see me do it again?

[@MrDalek2150]

I choose to believe this is the timeline where somehow either Alexei or Nicholas himself survive.

[@talimlbcn]

Lol

[@KyrstOak]

​@@MrDalek2150Oooo, that's good!

[@Lefty-Loki]

Yes, yes I did

[@CreativaArtly]

Of all the songs from the Anastasia soundtrack and musical and movie, this song is definitely my favorite.

[@aaralidelafuente8627]

*closes my eyes and listening to the song while agreeing* I'm with you on that. This song is one of my personal favorites.

[@tommenno]

Do yourself the favor, and find the Russian version. Sooo good.

[@aisadal2521]

Omg, never expected to see one of my all time favorite songs from my childhood be covered by you, Caleb! 🥺 What a wonderful present 🥰💖

[@alaktusarratum]

Ditto never expected this

[@caylieann]

just so u know, he made this song already dec 2015 ^^ you should probably check out his old videos :D

[@Daelyah]

My grandmother is a December baby, and she's the closest to a mother I've ever known...I grew up on Anastasia, so Anya and her bond with her own grandma would always remind me of what I have with my Gram. My sisters and I even sang this for her birthday, once. It'll always remind me of my beloved Gram, even long after she's gone... ❤ ADDENDUM: I've been HORRIBLY sick, today, so thank you for this, Caleb...you did a lovely job... 🥰

[@babypug100]

This song and "In the dark of the night" will always be super banger songs to me. Already great music and your voice just makes it better Thanks Caleb!

[@KainYusanagi]

Just... without the actual video for "In the Dark of the Night", haha. It makes such a great villain song feel much less epic.

Gleb walked through the lonely streets that night. The winds were relentless and the cold was as heartless as the NKVD's glare. Fortunately, he was one of them. There was something odd about this hour as if the angels themselves were descending upon the earth besides the snowflakes. The old Winter Palace remained dormant ever since the fall of the monarchy, nothing left to scavenge except for old trophies so one can either claim they worked for the Romanovs or stormed its halls when the true revolution began. Nonetheless, its shadow still loomed over the rest of Leningrad, a reminder of a time when there was no such thing as a Soviet. He was suddenly taken aback when someone slammed into him, but he got ahold of the stranger and found a scared girl in his arms. "Slow down, it's slippery on nights like these." "I'll be careful next time," She replied before taking a few steps away from him, "I just got some work I need to do." The young man froze in place, his blood feeling drained while studying her features. There was something recognizable about her, but he couldn't understand why. Yet, he took the moment to regain his composure while keeping his own thoughts to himself. "Sir, are you okay?" "Yes, I'm fine. Just need to walk it off. My office is not far from here." She nodded her head and walked off, unaware of the secret policeman the stranger ran into. Wherever she went, Gleb quietly prayed for her sake. He had every right to arrest her, but the times had changed since those days. "Good luck, your highness." . . . I think I got too much time on my hands.

[@CalebHyles]

This was a trip 👏

[@binugget]

oh my god I love this. dude this is AWESOME

[@Scientist118]

@@CalebHyles Thanks! It's a nod to the Anastasia musical, given the character's background.

[@SchwartzerAdler]

Sadly, the truth behind her story is much more grim. I can't remember the exact details, but according to some accounts of revolutionaries, they had seized the young princess and another member of her family, taken them to a remote place, shot and burried them there. When scientists searched for their bodies, they found them at the exact spot they were told to look for. DNA testing brought the unmistakable proof; they were members of the Romanov family, and it was confirmed that one of them was a girl of Anastasia's age and height - the young Russian princess had been a victim of the revolution...

So Nostalgic. I needed to hear this song again. Thank you.

[@Zela_Night]

The transition at 1:55 resonated in my soul! Thank you for a fantastic cover and a nice dose of nostalgia.

[@itzquintle9479]

Lyrics for y'all :) Dancing Bears Painted Wings Things I almost remember. And a song someone sings Once upon a December. Someone holds me safe and warm. Horses prance through a silver storm. Figures dancing gracefully across my memory. Someone holds me safe and warm. Horses prance through a silver storm. Figures dancing gracefully across my memory. Far away, Long ago, Glowing dim as an ember, Things my heart Used to know Things it yearns to remember And a song someone sings Once upon a December

[@jumpmanhammerman1311]

This song belongs in Halloween and Christmas for me because of how hauntingly beautiful it is. Thanks a lot Caleb! You did it justice

[@troperhghar9898]

I'll admit I want to see caleb do "the campfire song" from the Percy Jackson musical Mostly because I want to hear Jonathon young in his full metal voice sing "the goddes of love my mom's Aphrodite she tries to be cool but mainly she's flighty I bring home a boy and shes there in her nighty"

[@troperhghar9898]

@Gacha Things For Random Reasons ive only heard the campfire song, but from what I heard it's not bad

[@lilaclupin5966]

YES! THIS!

[@lilaclupin5966]

@Gacha Things For Random Reasons in that song they all sing about how much their godly parents suck. The musical is really great! It's the reason I read the books and those got me into reading again

[@MrEgofreak]

That would be funny! LOL.

[@Baka-kun]

@Gacha Things For Random Reasons its an amazing musical and highly faithful to the source material! A lot of fans who grew up reading the books love the musical. I got a chance to watch them perform on tour before covid and it was a wild ride. They literally start the musical with "look I didn't want to be a halfblood" so tells you what kind of ride you're going on. I would love to see him and others do Drive seems more up their alley

[@jacethemindsculptor1919]

I wish you Merry Christmas Caleb. And Marry Christmas to everyone. ☺️ I love this song. And the movie. Good choice for a cover (again 🤣). Greedings from Germany

[@flamethrowerproductions123]

This one is now about if the Tsar's son, Alexei, had escaped instead of his older sister Anastasia.

[@IKMcGwee]

Oh my god, I'd love that so much. The first How to Train Your Dragon is one of my favorite movie ever. I saw it like 8 times in theaters... Goid thing I worked at one when it came out.

Literally just watched this on Broadway last week with my wife for her Christmas gift!

[@just_said156]

literalmente no hay un sólo cover que se parezca a este, es completamente cómo meterse en la escena y sentirse en el palacio de invierno, Gran cover!

[@SchwartzerAdler]

As a child of, say, 9 or 10, I watched the film Anastasia for the first time. I remember liking it, but nothing about its content in particular. Years went by, and as I was maybe 27, I watched it again with my girlfriend. It was like watching it for the first time again, as it was so long ago. Then, this song came on... And it struck me like a hammer! Although I had only heard it once, the melody had left an undiscovered mark on my mind that made itself forcefully known at that moment, and I sat in awe as the scene went by. I only noticed that tears were rolling down my cheeks when my girlfriend asked me why I was crying. I could not even give a proper answer, other than "I don't know...this song just got to me...".

[@Warlady21]

I can actually imagine that scene from the movie but with Caleb in place of Anastasia. And it was his mother at the end

[@Livewire2000]

Talk about nostalgia.. the movie has always been good I think.. and this cover coming out just shortly after hearing it randomly played elsewhere.. I now want to watch the movie again. Thank you for this amazing cover!

[@DemonKingDoug]

This song was actually the first song that I ever felt confident to sing when I was a kid and it's the reason why I enjoy singing to this day

[@luigiboi4244]
