"Do You Hear What I Hear" Mannheim Steamroller

[Yawnwaggles1]

I found this so beautiful...I've been listening to it ever since I found it just before Christmas. It's very beautiful and give me peace. Thank you for this! It's just wonderful. I love the lightning and thunder and wind.

[TallSky]

@Yawnwaggles1 Thanks - yes, inner peace was the visual objective, added with the idea that the message of the gospel which was two thousand years ago, is the same today, even with the modern looking people, buildings, lights, and towns of nowadays as compared the shepards and mangers of back then.

[Yawnwaggles1]

@TallSky Yep, you caught me listening and watching once again. Sometime, look me up on flickr...if u ever go there. My name is FireMane of SC. I think u might enjoy me and my critters. We are all about peace, and when I rode, the Lord rode with me. For, I was always safe, and watched nature unfold beneath my horse's hooves.

I hear this...and It makes me think of the night, the air crisp and cold, slight wind....and you start to see the 1st snow start to fall as winter fast approaches.

[MrMikeb1958]

1 person never heard it....

[webeokies]

This is very beautiful...more beautiful if there was a soprano singing along.

[clermont2012]

This is my Christmas card for this year. You really CAN hear and SEE in this video....

One of best renditions of one of my favorite Christmas songs. So lovely it is almost unbearable - beautifull. Transcendent.  Thank you for the exquisite post.

[AzulAmelie]

Beautiful!!!...

Merry Chistmas 2011!!!!

[Hiker4Jesus1]

brother Jim ~ you have shared the love of Jesus in this presentation in a unique way that maybe will create an awareness of what the true meaning of CHRISTmas is really all about...fondly remembered from a year ago ~ thanks for sharing again. YBIC, Hiker Dan

[robin7677]

beautifully done. thank you, and Merry Christmas.

[robin7677]

beautifully done. thank you, and Merry Christmas.

[WitchVine]

THIS is how this song ought to be done. It's one of my favourite Christmas songs because it gives me chills when done right, but the only versions I hear on the radio these days completely ruin it. Thank you for bringing fond childhood memories.

[PhantoMace2012]

here is christmas for ya

Mannheim Steamroller =  ...

I was going to say "epic", but not even that is a good enough word to describe this music

Happy Holidays

[jackieo267]

WOW is all I can say!! Love this video!!

[articsocean]

Truly amazing. 

[APACHEFIRE1]

I have to say…after viewing years of videos here…I never thought I would run across such a wonderful presentation of a perfect blending between visual effect, music & sound. The quality of this “Gift” comes at a time when people need it most. You, TALLSKY, have a real ‘Pearl” here. From one of THE PEOPLE…Thank You.

[nathanwtp95]

You can get lost in this song geesh :DDD

[foldingmypaper]

So beautiful! @TallSky, thank you so much for posting! I would have never heard such a wonderful song if it hadn't been for this. Thank you for making my year.

[TallSky]

@foldingmypaper and thank you too!

[atom57]

The first part sort of reminds me of Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

[TallSky]

@atom57 Yes, you're right. This video represents what was, and will again be, an encounter for every person. It is a very good question, to ask what we hear, and how we perceive what we hear. This is my favorite Christmas song, for that reason.

[CrazyMonkeyMan93]

Thats a lot of super novas happening at once.

[TallSky]

@CrazyMonkeyMan93 LoL - yes.

[MagicSmokeBubble420]

I was a little apprehensive what MS was going to do with this song. All I have to say is, wow. And @yoosegirls937, I know what you mean. Life has been a real kick in the ass. One of the things being I can't get back home to AZ to see my baby niece that was born a month ago and see her for her first fall holidays. Been really down. But hopin the cold weather to come brings a good mood. Tryin to keep my head above water but sometimes it feels like I'm drowning

[shimmerpaw]

CHRISTMAS, Y U NO HERE YET

[yoosegirls937]

I'm kind of late to this party, but thank you for this gift. Christmas is my favorite holiday and MS is among my favorite musical groups. It is September 2011 now and far from Christmas, but life lately has been trying to be difficult. This gift from you has served to bring me a little joy and a little hope. Thanks again.

[TallSky]

@yoosegirls937 Very kind of you to say those words. I will put you on my prayer list, for the best Christmas ever.

[zgravmary]

@yoosegirls937 ...so lovely! Bright blessings....

[RobstenSparks19]

[TallSky]

@Hiker4Jesus Thanks, brother Dan. Nilda told me whats been happening. I will message you about it, and will keep you in my daily thoughts and prayers. I know the Lord wants you to be pain free. You're attitude about all you are going through is inspiring and of great strength of character. Looking forward to seeing that video that the two of you made! Please keep me posted, and know I still hope that you can come out to California some day to hike the majestic Sierra's.

[lucrecia4590]

This really was a beautiful song and an amazing video! It was awesome how the stuff moved perfectly, and that tree near the end O.O How the heck can anyone put so many lights on it when it's that friggin' high!? Did people get hurt while putting those up! Very well done, I am so favoriting this! :D

[TallSky]

@lucrecia4590 thanks! Those are shots from Aspen, CO.

[lucrecia4590]

@TallSky Really? That's awesome! :D

[ggrammashirley]

@lucrecia4590 I hope you have the opportunity to visit the high mountains in the winter. God hung the stars and the higher the altitude the greater the majesty of His handywork.

[dcboy1913]

[hufcar]

luved it 5 star video Merry Christmas :D

[MinayaSun]

Fantastic video! Thanks, and... Merry Christmas!!!

[STONEYBROKESTILL]

Superb video, moved me to moist eyes by the finish! 'Mannheim' are not much known in the UK, but this track brought back many great memories of my December holidays to Orlando during the 90's, when you could almost guarantee that every tourist park would be playing MS's Christmas songs. This and Little Drummer Boy are my fave Christmas songs anyhow and to hear unique versions is a real pleasure. Don't suppose you've done a 'Little Drummer Boy' vid, have you!? Love to see one....

[TallSky]

Thanks, STONEYBROKESTILL, and everyone for these kind comments! Yes, MS is the best. Unfortunately, no, don't have any other Christmas carols this year. I wanted to make several holiday films, but was called away for the holidays away from my computer before could get any others done.

Merry Christmas to ya'll
