Outro: Carol of the Bells (Piano Cover)
Hello, I'm Rousseau, I make piano covers of classical and pop songs with a reactive visualizer. New videos every Monday and Thursday!

[@Rousseau]

On the first day of Rousseau Christmas, the night was silent! It's hard to comprehend how a simple melody like this one can contain so much nostalgia, but every time I hear this song a rush of memories come flooding back to me, so what better way to start off the week than with a tranquil arrangement full of rich voicings! The impact this song has had on human history is pretty incredible to think about as well: on Christmas Eve in 1914, in the trenches of WWI, a German officer named Walter Kirchoff (tenor with the Berlin Opera) sang Silent Night, to the unexpected applause of nearby enemy French soldiers. What followed was the Christmas truce of 1914 - a moment where, for one day, opposing soldiers stopped fighting and traded, played soccer, and sang carols. With its message of tranquility and hope amidst the violence of war, Silent Night is often credited as the carol that paused World War I. I hope that this warms up your Monday ♥

La letra en español Noche de paz :) Noche de paz, noche de amor Todo duerme derredor Entre los astros que esparcen su luz Bella anunciando al niño Jesús Brilla la estrella de paz Brilla la estrella de amor Noche de paz, noche de luz Ha nacido Jesús Pastorcillos que oíd anunciad No temáis cuando entréis adorar Que ha nacido el amor Que ha nacido el amor Desde el pesebre del niño Jesús La tierra entera se llena de luz Porque ha nacido Jesús Entre canciones de amor In english Silent night Night of peace Night of Love Everything sleeps around Among the stars that spread their light Bella announcing the baby Jesus The star of peace shines The love star shines Night of peace, night of light Jesus is born Shepherds you hear announced Do not fear when you enter to worship That love was born That love was born From the crib of the baby Jesus The whole earth is filled with light Because Jesus was born Between love songs Quisiera tocar como tu pero primero Dios lo hare por que estoy aprendiendo piano 🙂😎 I would like to play like you but first God will do it because I am learning piano 😎 Saludos 🙂👍😎 Regards🙂👍😎
