    I've watched this every year since 2008 and I still never get sick of it because this is the best version of Carol of the Bells to this day!!!

    Every year for 8 years now I come back to this. How this isn't the most-watched version on YT is beyond me.

      I remember when I first found this the year it came out around christmas and it blew my mind lol. Randomly just thought of it and just spent about 10 minutes trying to find it, 2019 😀

    17 years later I still listen to this every Christmas. Honestly one of the best Carol of the Bells arrangements and performances ever.

    2023 is here and this is still one of the best performances of this song there is. Yearly tradition is now complete

  • @jcpdmb2
    @jcpdmb2 Před 5 lety +11

    This is STILL one of my favorite arrangements. If I had a wish you would re-record exactly as is... in HD!
    Also... I can’t be the one one who thinks, from a distance, with the hair and glasses, you look like Andy Bernard from the office in this video!?
    Please... someone agree with me!!!

    Brian, I hunted for the name of the song. Then I looked for your name and the Carol of Bells!! I am listening to it as I cook for Christmas!! Thank you for sharing this gift from God on CZcams!! Merry Christmas 2015 Leanoria Johnson (Ava and Noelle's Mom)

    Brian - Quite the fan club you have here! I remember that specific night. We'd done the COTB holiday thing most every year for a decade, but each year it was like brand new, mainly thanks to the minimal rough-sketch rehearsal, at least 60% by-the-seat-of-our-pants improv on stage. Pretty cool. Good memory. Thanks for posting!

    Year over year it is an incredible experience! You would wonder how a Christmas carol of so unique Ukrainian character transcended cultures, generations, continents, music styles, etc. As different as it is from its original version, this interpretation is an example of timeless human genius. Great origin, fantastic interpretation!
