So obviously there are a lot out there; some are originals, some
have been covered a billion times, but here are my favorite Christmas
songs/covers of all time.
White Christmas- Bing Crosby
This one is kind of a given, but it's so incredibly soothing and
puts me in the spirit. It also never gets old *cough* all I want for Christmas
*cough
12 Days of Christmas- Straight No Chaser
Here is a really fun cover of a song that gets kind of tiring after
the first 4 verses. It also implements the tune of Toto's
"Africa". Strongly recommend
Do You Hear What I Hear?- Perry Como
Whenever I listen to this song I feel like I can hear snow. Does
that make sense? Like the music sounds like magical Christmas snow. This cover
is also so joyous so what's not to like?
It Came Upon a Midnight Clear- Aaron Neville
This one really gets to me. Neville just has a really cool voice
that works so well with this song and takes it beyond another church
song.
Believe- Josh Groban
My God, does Josh Groban have incredible vibrato. I
think the reason I like this one so much is I associate it heavily with The
Polar Express (which it comes from) which is an endearing Christmas movie.
Christmas for Cowboys- John Denver
A lot of the time we associate Christmas with cities, especially
NYC. This song paints a picture of a peaceful and calm rural Christmas. It's
awesome.
Aspenglow- John Denver
Another one that makes me thing of snow. Also just a very
soothing, beautiful song
O' Come O' Come Emmanuel- Enya
Honestly, I'm a total sucker for Enya. But this song of hers in
particular makes me want to float away. It completely transports you.
O Holy night- Nat King Cole
A sweet song covered by a sweet voice. Especially when he hits
those high notes, they really get your attention.
Little Drummer Boy- Bing Crosby + David Bowie
Their contrasting voices go really cool together and make me
want to sing this as a duet with people.
:)
Some of these are on my list, too.
