Future of Forestry - O Holy Night

[soulfreely1]

This is absolutely beautiful!

[Cherpidy]

Yes, I agree with everyone else. Absolutely gorgeous.

[Longrider68]

This is absolutely the most beautiful version of this song ever made. No other artist even comes close to Future of Forestry's version.

[excalebier]

the best 'Oh Holy Night' I have ever heard - epic guys, big, I am in ecstasy - my fav christmas carol - the night it all started - the Night Jesus was Born..

[partytree92]

I love the change at about 3:59 …it's like it transitions from reverent awe to sheer joy. It's so perfect.

[susanmerkel]

WHAT KIND OF A COMMENT IS THIS... I SAW THEM IN AZ LAST SUNDAY AND THEY ARE MORE THAN MASTERS!!

[yivviepants]

@allrequiredfields - are you unaware that Bono is a Christian? Much of what he does is saturated with his faith. Sure he isn't perfect at it; none of us are. But that's unrelated. As for Future of Forestry ripping them off, using the delay pedal is not ripping them off. Also, musicians use each other's music all the time, be it by influence or by straight up rip off. Visual artists do it as well. Clearly, this song is completely different by Where The Streets Have No Name.

[knoxes5]

Heard them last Sunday in Portland. They are soooo good. Creative, innovative, and very talented. This song, O Holy Night, for instance, just takes off in an unexpected direction midway, and transports the listener...

[jordankintner]

Just got back from their concert. They are masters of creating a world with music and crafting crescendos with class. One of the most talented and creative bands dreaming songs into existence today. Thanks for your songs FoF.

[allrequiredfields]

I see Christians still can't stop ripping off U2. Sigh. Can we find a new band to idolize for the next 20 years now?

[WintersucksOH]

@allrequiredfields Please put down the crack pipe. Figures that you would be the first to give a 'thumbs down.' Sounds nothing like U2! If you are going to mindlessly attack Christians, at least be realistic.....

[boolifcooncoon]

@WintersucksOH no my friend, that guitar part would not sound like that if not for U2. But it's ok, U2 is a great band to sound like (if you were being sarcastic and I didn't catch it, disregard my comment).

[arkanabar]

@boolifcooncoon Granted re: the guitar. It's one thing to be INFLUENCED by U2, another to rip them off. I see influence. ... of course, "Where The Streets Have No Name" is about Heaven, and "Magnificent" is about the Blessed Virgin Mary, so is it any surprise Christians are influenced by U2?

Playing guitar w/ a bow, however, is a tribute to the viola d'amore.

[drumsforever101]

@allrequiredfields so any band that uses a delay pedal instantly rips off U2?

[TheDavidNoble]

@allrequiredfields Yeah, and the Edge ripped off The Beatles by using a guitar!

[512Airsoft]

Christ is the Lord; praise his name forever!

[30kellys]

Fantastic! Can't wait to see you live next week!

[naranjah]

I love the peace they have in their performances. They're not playing too much.

[Tocy777]

chills through my spine....wow....

[eatitjusteatit]

There is only one word to describe this: Beautiful

[UNKLEmuse]

Wow....this is wonderful. It's so rare to find Christian musicians with this kind of talent; I don't know why, but it is. Bands like Thrice, The Receiving End of Sirens, Lowercase Noises, and Future of Forestry are so encouraging to me

[amnelification]

@UNKLEmuse Do you like Bethel Music/Jesus Culture... I think they are awesome as well!

[xyganthaphor]

why are there only 27,470 views of this?!

[NickmanGiovanni]

5:40, eargasm

[MrJakeunderscore]

These people win music. All of the music. Forever.

[bpolyamorousb]

I can think of nothing more beautiful than Revelation 21:4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away. Judgement day comes and Christ heals us all. He pulls all our sorrows from us and we ascend to heaven to praise him eternally.

[ThePhillipsgirl]

Even in summer time I can feel the Christmas spirit. :::wipes tear:::

[Tocy777]

Mind...blown...

[Roodlepops]

woaahhh........

[klorbarn]

You're an incredible band! I've been a fan for years. Could you please come to sweden? Or somewhere even remotely close? Never stop making your music!

[oooCAKEmmm]

This is by far the best rendition of "O Holy Night" I have ever heard. <3

[LexBravary]

My gosh, what a gorgeous voice. The high notes just soar, ..........yeah I'm pretty speechless. Much kudos.

[TheAffrontedAmerican]

I cry every time I hear this. Yeshua!

[stevenlonyo1]

[Mimicoops]

Its Christmas Eve, and I'm just listening to how beautiful this is

[alwaz4jc]

[NightMare00279423]

Love this song!

[mherfjord]

These people are so full of music! They've really understood how to make brilliant harmonies. Definately my favourite version of this song.

[MCaleb100]

This band's unique sound and method of playing is amazing.

[legodesi]

What's the name of the guitar effect?

[drumsforever101]

@legodesi starting around 4:00? its just a series of notes played into a delay pedal. has a lot of overdrive in it too

[saintnoah1]

what the heck is a bow doing on an electric guitar?

[remi777692]

@saintnoah1 the more sound you have the better it is :)

[Xevamir]

@saintnoah1 Look up Sigur Ros..

[theotherandyg]

@saintnoah1 lots of people do it...gives a different way to play. great effect!

[bubbletoed]

most beautiful song in the entire world!

[Lightcloud15]

[desousa10]

[Dmanu22]

I think Future of Forrestry will perfom this every Christmas morning in Heaven...and I can't hardly wait.

[heisgod1]

@Dmanu22 there is no christmas...Jesus is the resurrection.....we will be worshipping God for all time....awesome to think about..

[7193ds]

The best version of O Holy Night I have ever heard, no contest!

[Dolfandad79]

beautiful!! Can't wait for the new christmas album!! God Bless you guys!

[SetsailMusic]

I ssooooo need to see these guys in concert. Please come to the general area of Memphis TN!!!!

[mather01234]

Anyone know a link to the guitar chords starting @ 4 minutes?

[killamanjaro17]

@mather01234 They aren't chords, they're just single notes played with a delay effect.

[speedskate2010]

Hey, This is Erik Jonas from San Diego. I would like to hook up with you guys. Where are you guys at right now? I would like to meet you around the christmas time.

[AranAT]

whoah. is that an electric guitar being played with a bow?

[LiveGteam]

@AranAT No.

[lucasleivas]

Beautifull song

[evildemonllama]

Fantastic! I'm pretty sure I've found a church for you guys to play at in Spokane WA.
