Liz Story - Greensleeves
Quiet and magnificent.
Sheryl Crow - Blue Christmas
Never liked the song until she covered it. It picks up a head of steam right around the 1:38 mark and unrolls all its bluesysexyfunky pile o' pout in the last half.
Cocteau Twins - Winter Wonderland
A walk in the snow - on acid. Try decorating the tree while listening to this.
....for a capella in all its purity, my favorite is Angels We Have Heard on High.
....but speaking as a some-time singer, I could never get through this one. I was asked to perform it for a holiday concert and couldn't make it through a single rehearsal without choking up. I moved on to something else that didn't affect me the same way.
Maybe it's the song's WWII significance, maybe it's the melody paired with the lyrics, maybe it's the idea of being in a war zone away from family and loved ones - I don't know what about the song gets to me, but it does.
I had never heard this before.
I hope you enjoyed it-it always makes me cry. I like this version with her husband, Vince Gill, singing with her-beautiful harmony.I had never heard this before.
