[Callofdutyfan220]

@cjthepianoman13 trans-siberian orchestra version on repeat

[cat021594]

Am I the only one that knows this song from the velveteen rabbit? o.o

[Gfhdmn1]

@cat021594 omg!!!!! I'm not the only one!!!! Actually i thought i was like the only person who remembers that.

[cat021594]

@Gfhdmn1 Nevah!!! D: I lost my CD and went crazy. *Has it as mp3 now on her cellphone* ^w^ BIIIIG Dork but I love the story, drove my mom crazy last night cause it was on repeat while I slept.

[Gfhdmn1]

@cat021594 wait a minute... are you talking about the movie, from '09? or the original velveteen rabbit?

[cat021594]

@Gfhdmn1 No the audio book. I had the Cassette tape when I was little; wore it down till it couldn't play. It's told by Meryl Streep, I L-O-V-E her voice! It's perfect with emotion for the story. I now have the story on my mp3 player, I'm such a dork ^^;; (watch?v=M_m054tLKvs) add that in the link and watch, in the beginning it has the song. =)

[cat021594]

@Gfhdmn1 I didn't know there was 2 velveteen rabbits, I only know the one. Never accept any other. ^^

[Gfhdmn1]

@cat021594 Lol, velveteen rabbit is pretty old, i think its from the.... early 90's? like 91 or 92 or something like that. After replying to your comment, i wasn't sure if we were talking about the same thing, so i looked up velveteen rabbit and found out that they made it into a movie in 2009.

[lauraann1278]

@cat021594 One of my favorite stories growing up. I knew this was from Velveteen rabbit. That's why I searched for this. George Winston does a remarkable job. I saw him live, front row seats. What a phenomenal show! I love this piece. Merry Christmas to you!

[cat021594]

@lauraann1278 I do envy you! I would love to meet him, he is amazing! Merry Christmas to you too. =)

[Masdivot]

[Womanhead666]

Ever since the velveteen rabbit, ive loved this song.

[mylifeasrosalyn]

The piano is just a beautiful instrument, and obviously 40 people just don't understand that!

[cheapcape]

@mylifeasrosalyn probably the greatest instrument there is

[Lighestangel]

@mylifeasrosalyn 43 and i love playing this song on my piano but im not as good as him tho lol

[asdfasdf85614]

@mylifeasrosalyn 44 people

[Raven19855]

50 people do not know the beauty of what George Winston converted into music.

[2JoeBLACK7]

idk why this kind of made me cry its so beautiful.

[japanesepoptart]

This song...it rings deeply into our hearts and our minds. It rings out into the vast expanses of space and it seems to alter life itself. This is a truly magical season.

[cjthepianoman13]

Christmas= Hot Chocolate, Fireplace Going, and this song on repeat

[cheapcape]

@cjthepianoman13 don't forget SNOW

[natureluva100]

[bawla007]

[kitterylynne]

I have been searching for a good representation of this piece all night, and this is by far the best! THANK YOU.

[christian777mark]

@TheAndy725 What do you mean the picture??

[JuJuJasper]

Thankyou - good to practice singing to. Thankyou for posting! And the pictures are so beautiful...

[JuJuJasper]

Thankyou - good to practice singing to. Thankyou for posting!

[kiya12309]

this is such a good homework song, supremely beautiful, but not distracting.

[mygalmo]

Absolutely beautiful! I really enjoyed your photos and presentation of this piece of music! They were a true delight to see! :) Great job!

[bigclay50]

40 people are IDIOTS PERIOD.

[cheapcape]

@bigclay50 Agreed.

[chamberl]

I love this carol but it is so melancholy. It is apparently a Ukrainian Epiphany carol.

[Celticfan1927]

This song is fairly easy to play, I did simply by ear but if I had the music, I am pretty sure that it would sound exactly alike, although some of the chords are hard to recreate it comes easy if you have a good ear. Plus, the fact that the left hand does mostly the same thing throughout helps because all you have to worry about is the right hand.

Beautiful song!!!!!!!!!!!

[justGreta95]

@Celticfan1927 Im learning to play this song, i have the sheet music. Its not easy to play :D atleast for me. but i LOVE this song, its so peaceful and relaxing

[Celticfan1927]

@justGreta95

Just keep working on it, for a song like this the only way you will be able to play this is to get into the song, just let the music carry you through the song.

[crazymn321fan]

were is the good version of this? like the one thats a little bit harder????(great song :D)

[magalivallotto]

this video right here is why i finally decided to sit down and finally learn it!

[11akatsuki11]

Hark Silver bells

sweet silver bells...

[cheapcape]

I can imagine playing this on my car stereo when it's snowing out..wow!

[EricNiehaus]

haha how do you dislike this?! you must a) not like christmas b) hate the piano c) dislike George Winston. but considering he's awesome and you clicked on this video none of those would make any sense

[TheCossackmate]

Ukrainian music simply flies ...

[heymonica8D]

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

[LoisHaywood]

I particularly enjoyed the nature scenes and birds in this video; they added so much to this exceptional rendition of the song.

[TijanaPiano97]

I must learn how to play this!! Amazing! :D

[DEmersonJMFM]

First time ever hearing it, hoping to play it.

[H20fanatic20]

sigh....christmas is coming guys....lol

[msbobojojo3]

BEAUTIFUL!!!

[runmenominovatus]

Christmas!

[claygate42]

I am a teenaged piano player, and it's my dream to become a pianist as talented as this. I started when I was around 7, and I hope to continue playing for the rest of my life so my children and grandchildren through all the generations play piano.

[Vallery19]

is there any chance somebody can send me the notes of that piece?! That would be awesome.. :-)

[cheapcape]

I actually feel frosty when I watch this video and hear this song, like I am right in all the snow scenes, gotta love this time of year.

[PCM21995]

This man is an animal on the piano :D

[pinkzebra517]

[cld2190]

[gilllew]

WHAT ALOT OF BEAUTIFUL WINTER SCENES ARE BEING SHOWN DURING THE PLAYING OF THE SONG. FOR ME BEING IN A LOVELY WARM COSY ROOM (WITH A LOVELY SPARKLING CHRISTMAS TREE ) DRINKING A GLASS OF MULLED WINE. GAZING OUT THE WINDOWAT THE BEAUTY OF IT ALL.

[HankHillPoopsColors]

[cheapcape]

This and the Shirley Cason versions are my favorite! Genuinely winter feel.

[eviljuubi]

39 people are Scrooge....

[tucson01]

[blch4321]

Simply Beautiful :D

[ultramarinequeen2]

This is just such a beautiful version of Carol of the Bells, It is simply breathtaking. The Trans Siberian Orchestra used to be my favorite, clearly not anymore.. : )

[Tbanks007]

I like this song so much that I started learning it yesterday and have it memorized today... with other songs it usually takes me a month or two to learn and memorize them haha. George Winston is such a musical genius.

[Yczz]

@Tbanks007 can you tell me where you have learned it? im axious to learn it too!

[therad4ever]

why do people care what year your listen to the song in it doesnt matter its a song if you like then listen to it dont matter how old the song is

[mathusgi1]

@therad4ever because i wanted to share the fact that this brought back nostalgic childhood memories... now I can understand if your childhood memories weren't really worth remembering... but mine are... kthxbai

[mathusgi1]

when i was a young child i had a cassette recording of the velveteen rabbit... and this song was its intro... and was played throughout it... i havent heard this piece in over 17 years..... what a wonderful discovery

[00LadyYuna]

I love the pictures they go great with this song :)

[bogskeeter]

I'm sure I may be preaching to the choir to many of you, but just in case:

Dax Johnson (R.I.P.)

Rob Costlow

Elijah Bossenbroek

Philip Wesley

Isaac Shepard

Helen Jane Long

Ludovico Einaudi

Many of them were influenced by this wonderful pianist; its always good to spread great music :)

[InsertBetterName97]

Btw beatiful video too..  Love the pictures :)

[InsertBetterName97]

I am proud to say that I can actually sort of play this song! Well I used to be able to, and that's not saying that I could play it fast. Or good. I absolutely could NOT get that really fast part at 2:02 But at least I could play it! I can play Prelude too, and that one I can actually play pretty well. Ooooh god I love this song sooo much. So beautiful. That and "Rain" are my two favorites by far. Before Barbed Wire is pretty good too :)

[broncos44ever]

Who would not love this? sad people. very sad.

[kikeVidz]

holy crap here comes jesus,and dosnt look too happy!

[thephantomofme]

seeeend it to meee blakkrayon@ymail.com pleaseeee

[TheVasilisas]

I fuckin' love this song. Thank god it's almost Christmas. Now I can put it on speaker and no one can tell me that it isn't close to X-mas! 

[TheHarly1]

39 people are probably atheist.

[InsertBetterName97]

@TheHarly1 Eh.. maybe not. I'm Jewish and I've never celebrated Christmas in my life (although I did believe in Santa when I was like 3)  but I am in love with this song. I devoted over 6 months of my time to learn how to play this. Sadly I forgot it though :(

[TheHarly1]

it is October 7 and i'm listening to Christmas songs.

[vcoonrod]

This has been my favorite for a while now. Listening in October - getting ready for the Season soon! Thank you!

[Eifelbboggie]

Wonderful photos! George will like them too!

[ElectricFish100]

people are always arguing over which is better rap or rock but they never mention these AWESOME christmas songs

[gameshowguy2000]

@ElectricFish100

Or even Jazz...listen to David Benoit's version. His is jazzy. I don't know where David Foster's version would fit. I did listen to Mannheim Steamroller's and they're OK.

[ElectricFish100]

@gameshowguy2000 i agree. jazz version of this song is also awesome. i watch the jazz one all the time.

[muddysneakers]

@gameshowguy2000

I agree, David Benoit's version is nice.

[IiuliaTuAmiga]

I am so ready for the winter!!!

I feel the
