That's one of my favourite Sufjan songs, and I think you did great. I'm glad you left out the end bit where it becomes all "Christmassy" since it's almost like a different song, it changes in mood a lot. I love your Sufjan covers, you really capture the same innocence and angelic beauty as Sufjan.
yeah, you're faithful to the material but add a touch of your own personality to it... and up the intensity at all the right moments... and pick the best songs. : ) another stellar sj cover.
I love finding songs with my name in the title XD Of course, winter is a pretty standard subject for songs, but it always makes me feel special if they are completely gorgeous. And this is completely gorgeous.
no! not butchered! are you fishing for compliments my dear? either way, well done:) i like how you kept just one flavour of the song (come on, we all know there's two in it) and owned it.
i just stumbled across your videos. nice. but i noticed that you have the tendency to speed songs up. you shouldn't do it, and you don't have to - your voice is good enough to savour every note.
Nice job. Might I suggest you cover Almost Lover by Alison Sudol. The piano's not too difficult, and your voice is just perfect for this song. :)Amber
..and you like Sufjan?! I'm convined (after about 10 minutes) that if you were to live in Las Vegas, as I do, we'd be best buds. I don't play the piano, and I'm rubbish at the guitar, but I can sing and can add a harmony to anything you throw at me. Let's do it ;)
i effing love this song ... the falsetto, the build up... try it with the guitar. i think cougerman7 has a tutorial making it a little easier than the chords given in the xmas booklet

Well done. I like the increased tempo. falsetto isn't like Sufjan's, but it is very powerful nonetheless.

Have you tried to sing anything by KT Tunstall? I think your voice would suit her songs. You should try "Under the Weather" =)

I really love your voice. What album is this song from? I've got a fair few Sufjan albums but don't recognise this one.
You could try transcribing it up a key if you're worried about the low notes, then it would sound perfect. Keep up the good work!

The sufjan chrismas CD comes with lyrics and chords; it's not hard to figure out. It's really easy if you're a musician.
