  • WOW !! Sissel - I have to experience them live in Oslo!

    She and Loreena McKennitt - My favorites!!! Thank´s a lot - Stefan

  • Beautiful song and video.

  • Outstanding! Perfect Pitch and Timing.

  • Formidable!!

  • What a wonderful message for every year, every where, for every one...Sissel's amazing voice, the prayers, pictures of our great world. I think I will watch this throughout the year, everytime I need a gentle reminder of our great World. Peace, joy, love to all the world's inhabitants. I pray the day will come win goodness wins over hate.

  • OK I'm older than most of you on this *page* - this was unbelievably, beautifully done. I'll bet her Ave Maria is chilling. I would buy anything this young woman sings.

    Think positive people... too many ,nowadays, are negative thinkers/texters instead of speaking face to face to connect/from broken families (I'm so sorry) and the list continues. Be safe and be loved.

  • Really ambazing so beautiful. Happy New Year everyone !!!

  • This video was absolutely incredible! Thank you so very much for saying, so beautifully, the message that we should all live by and all that matters in the eyes of God...to love each other. It's so simple, why do so many people not get it? Anyway, thank you for this amazing video...well done! Much love and blessings to everyone!

  • ummm because she looks like one. If she isn't she should fire her stylist. Oh and where do you get the impression that I was talking to you.

  • I am confused by this video. Looks like a spca add sang my a lesbian but yet still religious. Makes no sense.

  • @phychobillygirl

    Where do you get the impression that the song was sung by a lesbian?

    I didn't see anything in the title.

  • @ashgall8118 some people see femi-nazis, pedophile fags, towel-head dune coon sand nigger terrorists, and knee-jerk bleeding heart global warming socialist=communist traitorous liberals etc. EVERYWHERE.ANYWHERE. welcome to their world of eternal hate and fear. we americans only, at this point, define ourselves by picking an enemy and dedicating ourselves to wipin' em out, so we and our kids can be safe. i guess.

  • 天籁之音犹如神曲,愿世界充满和平,生命充满爱与和谐。

  • Thank you for such a beautiful video! God Bless us all, and help us to make this planet a better place...SAVE OUR PLANET!

  • How beautiful and lovely!

    

  • *** Stunningly BEAUTIFUL - The VOICE & The VIDEO!! I just became a REAL FAN of "SISSEL"!! Thank You!! Morgan E. Morgan

  • Υπέροχο!!! Just beautiful in every way! Thank you so much for this amazing uploading!!

  • Beautiful, beautiful. Thank you for blessing so many with this inspirational video.

  • this is beautiful - I love the comment about the spotless tract of snow - very appropriate.

  • Peace on Earth is created by all of us so we can all make a difference and create Peace

    on Earth in our lives and for others by helping others each day. Please don't include me

    as "we humans" because I'm a human and I stand for Peace. And so do almost every

    Human.

  • Almost a Prayer...and yet!!...God Bless.

  • This is a lovely song and what a super voice. Apparently Robbie Burns wrote it a long time ago. Perhaps the world was a better place then, but we humans seem bent on raping it, taking everything from it and never giving anything in return - clearly that's long term unsustainable in anyone's book. What a pity we can't make peace like we can make music.

  • Missing the point, a little here, people. This was a beautiful planet. Man seemed to have to fucked it up. We deserve all we get.Too bad the wildlife and future generations? have to pay for our greed and selfish mistakes

  • @jorjaanderson It's never too late to fix whats wrong. If two or more people pray to GOD for the same thing then HE will give it to you.

  • Why in the name of all that's holy (!) do people make such ridiculous assertions? Just because we don't follow unfounded beliefs based on magic & myth you assume we are all filled with hate & don't (can't?) follow the same moral precepts as those that do? Who said we are filled with doubt? I am absolutely CERTAIN there is NOTHING to sustain a primitive belief system that has served its purpose and now is redundant. So thanks for your analysis but I might suggest you don't give up the day job!

  • @BDGMarketing Okay, YouTubers, read the original post from "BDG." After asserting his perceived intellectual prowess he drops the bombs of "bigotry" and a not-so-subtle sarcastic analogy comparing spiritually-minded folks to flies eating excrement. Now, when someone challenges his condescending arrogance and vapid logic, he cloaks himself as a persecuted champion of peace. You "sound" very young to me, BDG. Take advice from an old grandpa: If you want peace and tolerance SHOW IT TO OTHERS FIRST!

  • @BrasileiroTimmo "Bombs"? "not-so-subtle"? You demonstrate marvelously how you've honed your perception over the years, "grandpa": thank you for your sparkling insight. You certainly reformed me and now I see the light.

    Ah but - wait. there's more: "he cloaks himself as a persecuted champion..." and on it goes. Oh. I can't be bothered...

  • @BrasileiroTimmo It so often seems useless - I may as well bang my head against a brick wall as against the dense bastion of ignorance and narrow-minded idiocy presented and protected by xians (sorry - "spiritually minded folk") in defense of their (obviously) indefensible assumptions, bigotry and - frankly - ignorance.

    Sleep well grandpa.

    Cheers!

  • @BDGMarketing From your opening post it was apparent that your intent was self-aggrandizement, condescending insult toward those that have not risen to your level of cerebral sophistication, and "evangelical atheism." Your transparency is evident to anyone with even a lick of wisdom. Your pride, bitterness and disrespect disqualifies you from even being a "Peaceful Atheist" of which there are many. The audience is all yours, Amigo. It's what you really want anyway. ADEUS, BDG!

  • @BrasileiroTimmo This comment transcends self-aggrandizement. It was not intended to be helpful or even informative. Indeed, it comes across as very hostile and pompous.

  • @lbcblumenthal Yer right. During prayer for BDG I was convicted of my pomposity. The debate was becoming MINE, not GOD'S. Look at the timeline of my comments and you'll note a change in tone. When I first viewed this beautiful vid and saw BDG's comment I thought of the TRUE Christians I know - two of them in my family - pouring their guts out in foreign lands to help earthquake and flood victims - and then to deal with BDG's condescension to folks that believe what they, I and others believe ...

  • @BrasileiroTimmo Your "prayer for BDG"? There's no pomposity there, is there? And you insinuate (because, as in other matters, you don't know) I don't have members of my family "pouring their guts out in foreign lands"? I hope that is metaphorical, on your part: I would hate to think it was literal but, if so, I thank you and your family for their service. My thoughts are with you and their loved ones. Thankfully, we have been "blessed" with the safety of our family members' lives and well-being

  • @BDGMarketing (2) For Christians, humanitarianism/morality/self-­sacrificial LOVE for others - are logically consistent with adherence to the teachings of Jesus Christ - which you refer to as magic, myth and idiocy. In my opinion, the typical "Western" atheist has a sense of morality based on John 1:9, Romans 1:19, and the fact that they have lived in a Judeo-Christian culture that teaches people to love their neighbors instead of eating them or gassing them as we have seen in other cultures

  • @BDGMarketing (1) of two posts: I have never remotely insinuated that atheists are incapable of humanitarianism. However, if human beings - by their estimation - are merely matter in motion - is it not a legitimate question to ask "What motivates a humanitarian atheist?" Sentimentality? Desire for legitimacy? Vestigial sympathy that a Precambrian paramecium felt for an injured amoeba? What is the basis for "atheistic morality?" Why should they even care? I might have the answer:

  • Those who seek peace and beauty will certainly find both in this video. Thank you to those who were involved in it's production. Those who are filled with doubt and hate need to look inward to find the source of that doubt and hate. Love and hate both come from the same place - within you. Happy New Year to those who seek happiness, I wish the rest of you whatever it is you seek.

  • Beautiful... superb... crystal voice! Thank you for the message and for the celebratory presentation!

  • Beautiful music and photos that warm my heart on this cold day. Thank you for posting.

  • ...as I said previously: "And the comments simply confirm those bigoted attitudes."

    Risible.

  • How the hell did this turn into a religious and political debate?

    To those of you who cannot appreciate this beautiful video and music just stfu and watch something else.

  • @humsup808 cheers!!!

  • Beautiful!!

  • beautiful!

  • How beautiful.

  • Idiots!!! Who gives an f*** what you think! This is beautiful and so is Sissel! Be gone "morons"!

  • @gvanc41 ...how very xtian of you.

    

  • What a shame nobody gave her the correct words for Auld Lang Syne. It's not hard to find the right stuff, rather than this cobbled-together version. Hope the Norwegian (?) vrsion is correct!

  • I think it's a beautiful Video, I think there is Love in it. Our God is a Loving God. We who call ourselves Christians (I include myself) Sometimes don't show enough of it (Love) when someone lashes out at us in anger we lash back. But Jesus says to Love our enemies.

  • The good news is the God will forgive your ignorance.  Happy New Year.

  • Beautiful voice, pretty video but laden with religious overtones... I couldn't finish watching it.

    It's emotional demagoguery! Why the religious symbolism? Although tightly interwoven in some societies (esp. US), it's unfounded but self-righteously imposed upon those of us with a more grounded understanding of life. And the comments simply confirm those bigoted attitudes.

    Just because ten billion flies like to eat animal excrement doesn't mean it's right!

    Sorry... :-\

  • @BDGMarketing WHAT? "A more GROUNDED understanding of life" - such as the primordial pond scum that anti-Creator bigots proffer as the genesis of everything from butterflies to Beethoven in an interminable line of fortuitous accidents that ultimately created an intelligent but arrogant human brain that denies that it took intelligence to create it? I have an atheist friend who disagrees profoundly with my beliefs, but he has more class than to trash the GOOD WILL that is portrayed in this vid.

  • @BDGMarketing The song was originally written for funerals!! Th ereason for the religious overtones.  Shhhhesh get some education.

  • @BDGMarketing Leave it to an atheist, to turn crybaby because "religious overtones" hurts his super-frail ego in thinking his belief system (if he has one) is the only one that counts. As your tiny group of associates are proud to say "If you don't like it, go elsewhere!" So go, feel free to move to Mainland China, Viet Nam, North Korea, Venezuela, or any other country that supports your belief system. People throughout the world are quite happy with "religious symbolism". Bye Crybaby!

  • @BDGMarketing

    You're a pompous, self-righteous ass.

  • @gebeka Thank you for your comment. You help make a point all on your own.

  • Auld Lang Syne - the "ancient" Scottish ditty that has spread around the world - demonstrating an international desire for renewing friendships at the beginning of the New Year - with the yearning that sins of the past be forgiven and forgotten. This "New Year's" song - typically sung at midnight while we are embracing loved ones - should be sung in the General Assembly of the United Nations as the leaders of the world embrace, and sincerely forgive and forget generational prejudice and hatred.

  • @BrasileiroTimmo I agree with you here: to a point. I won't dwell upon your use of the word "sins"... But yes - it wouldn't hurt for people to be more understanding, forgiving and open-minded.

    I would love to think the xians on the right would form the 'phalange' on that one. Any takers?

    didn't think so.

  • SIMPLY AWESOME

  • Excellent video, beautifully done. Beautiful singer. Thank you for sharing.  Happy New Year!

  • This gave me chills! It truly is one of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen. God gave us a magnificent earth and creatures. He gave us life and the opportunity to know Him because of Jesus Christ. How glorious!

  • @solitaresister and we shouldnt just display this love and thanks every 365 days we should do it daily xx

  • Inspirational and stunningly beautiful!!! Great cinematography along with that amazing voice!

  • Magnifique bonne année a vous !

  • Comment removed

  • Any of you that may doubt God's existence will, as all of us will, one day have to stand before Him and give an account of how we lived our lives. Were we obedient believers and His good servants or did we doubt His existence as unbelievers trusting in ourselves, science and the flawed theory of evolution? Are you sure you are able to do that?

  • @oldmanofthesea2 I believe in God but I think demonstrating Godliness in actions is far more important than merely telling others what to believe.

  • @melanieprice hi melanie the sad thing is we all only taught to express this inner feeling once evry 365 days h0ow wrong this should be taught daily... but so so beautiful xxx

  • @melanieprice and why only express this emotional love every365 days ands not daily its so so beautiful

  • @jennimckaywannafly96 Sorry, but what does that have to do with me or my comment?

  • @melanieprice My Comment was not aimed at your comment but some before you. I was shocked at some of the angry comments I saw on this page!

  • @JesusKnowsMe7 Oh yes...I see what you mean now. God grant that the light of unity may envelop the whole earth.

  • @melanieprice Amen!

  • God is alive and well!

  • This just so stunning, wish I had known about it before as I would have had it this New Year, but at least I am ready for 2013

  • I am touched - thank you!

  • amazing video -such a great voice-and wonderful images, 2012- dj skillmaster x

  • I can't believe so many people still believe this and don't believe in Santa Claus!!!!

  • Inspiring.

  • For anyone who thinks this Earth was created by some cosmic explosion of a peice of dirt flying through space, I hope you watch this video and stop to think about it........Something like this did NOT JUST HAPPEN.....GOD BLESS YOU.

  • Thanks for the excellent commentary and the great voice for wonderful classic for ending the year.

  • Absolutely wonderful

    

  • This is an amazing video with a wonderful message.Thank You for posting.

  • Very few things "touch" my heart these days, and chill me to my soul. These sights and sound have done that. I am grateful there still are things that can effect me in that way. Than you so much for sharing your talent, and realize how powerful it is.

  • was this recorded in germany...the entire production is out of this world..its the best i have ever seen

    frankie di nunzio

    hershey, pa.

  • i try to live it everyday. thanks for this and Happy New Year

  • The opening scenes with the cross and buildings on the side of the mountain, anyone know where that is? its gorgeous.

  • @lonnierogers

    I think that may be the "Zugspitze in Germany"

    It's a beautiful picture.

  • I just can't get enough Sissel! Divine!

  • Very nice video...even with all that is going on in the world...we still have lots to be thankful for.  Thank you God!

  • Beautiful ! Thanks for sharing and all the Best in the New Year.

  • Perfect message for a hurting world. Happy New Year everyone.

  • wow beautiful. happy new year everyone.

  • This is Really Nice !!!! ------:-))

  • When I think about living for the glory of God it lifts me up. The evil in the world wants to keep us down but we must rise up and remember that our Devine Creator is with us. This video is an example of what is right in the this world and I hope it inspires those who have gotten lost along the way.

  • hi

    

  • wow :D thats amazing :D

  • nice. check out wild Harry Hawk's Happy New Year Song, his version of Auld Lang Syne in which he gives great life wisdom to kick off the new year! playing now on MyAniMovies channel and seen on buzz feed raw feed..

  • Oh how I wish this Young Lady would visit the USA - I will be first in line to one of her Concerts.

  • The Best.

  • absolutely stunning! Norway thank you! Beautiful voice Sissel and beautiful video

  • Goose bumps from the top  of my head to the soles of my feet. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for posting. Never heard that song sung better.

  • This is beautiful,thanks for shareing your talent.

    Please there wasn't a thing political about this.

  • This took my breath away. Absolutely beautiful!

  • Gorgeous..I don't usually watch this stuff, but this was an exception. A fitting way to ring in the new year. May everyone have a much better 2012!

  • Absolutely beautiful. It made me cry. I got homesick. I heard a beautiful voice singing in my Swedisch language. Thank You!

  • @elke1619 nowegian ;)

    

  • @southerninva Ja. know, it just isn't so much difference that I wasn't reminded. Thanks!

  • I've never heard of Sissel before--what a pity! She has such a beautiful, clear, bell-like voice! I hope 2012 is much, much better than 2011--and that it will see the end of a Socialist administration in the USA.

  • @scottchad37 I think we can agree that this is a beautiful video and bringing politics into it has no place here.

  • @scottchad37 You had to go and ruin something beautiful by making a political statement. There is a time and place for everything and this definitely was not the time or place.

  • @scottchad37 Ditto scottchad.

  • This is awesome! I can't believe that anyone would "dislike" this...it is so peaceful and moving. Thanks for sharing it!

  • Take heart. There are some unfortunate souls who are so troubled that they are left with only their ability to spread negativity in order to justify their own pain. I will say a prayer for them this year so that a year from now maybe there will be one fewer.

    Happy New Year!

  • Just fantastic

  • Fantastic !

  • Ooops I've stumbled into the Geriatric section of youtube, you can tell by proper use of punctuation haha

  • Absolutely Lovely.... What a way to wake up this morning!

  • this is asome so i cried

  • please " respect " OUR only world and live in PEACE ...

  • what an amazing video. so incredibly beautiful and so moving. God bless the creatures on this earth. may this year bring comfort to those that are abused and neglected, not to mention the beautiful animals that are slaughtered. thank you, tracey.

  • 非常棒

  • Beautiful. This is my great aunt Sissel. I wish I had inherited a fraction of her talent. What an amazing voice.

  • A very beautiful voice and excellent video May God bless everyone this year

  • Just beautiful! Blessings and Peace.

  • how beautiful and so moving w/God's creatures included; thank you!

  • may the Lord give you peace

  • this is terrific, and there's several more videos on the right....Happy, Healthy, Peaceful New Year to all.......

  • I love it and may God truely Bless each and every American near and far!!!

  • @MyBlackbart Yup - but f*** the rest of the world. They an go screw themselves.

  • @BDGMarketing You read something into this that I never thought. I follow biblical principals. God Bless You and every creature on earth living or deceased. Have a wonderful day, best you not judge me for something I never meant in a negative way.

  • @MyBlackbart You specifically stated you wanted your god to bless Americans exclusively. That is a truly typical insular statement and typically American. However, you did embellish and open your imprecation so I will forgive you. ;-)

    I too follow principals that would seem embodied (at some level) in your book of dogma.

  • What a beautiful message. May you have the same for your New Year. That's me playing the Trumpet....many years ago in Central Park, NY. All the best for a blessed New Year to you and yours.

    Stephen

  • @Stephencondonactor You did a nice job! Congratulations!

  • @Stephencondonactor the trumpet is beautiful.

  • @Stephencondonactor hat's off to you then.. awesome! happy new year :o)

  • @Stephencondonactor Stephen: what particular type of trumpet is that? Great job, thanks.

  • It's known as a Flugelhorn.

  • WONDERFUL. AND MY PRAYERS ARE WITH THOSE WHO HAD GRIEF LAST YEAR, MAY THEY OVERCOME THEIR SORROWS AND SEE HAPPINESS IN THE NEW YEAR THROUGH GOOD THINGS HAPPEN TO OTHERS IN THE FAMILY, AMEN

  • May the God of our fathers: Abraham,Jacob,and Isaac be with you all in the New year and as tiny said "God bless us every one". Everyone please pray for our leaders around the world that peace may yet come everywhere and before the coming of that great day of our Lord and Savior.

  • SISSEL & Company ~ A truly very moving rendition ~ Bravi ~!~!~! ANDY

  • that was amazing! a friend emailed me this. to try to cheer me up cause ive been nothing but depressed since my mom died. and i loved this video!

  • @movieman104 May her memory cheer you. God bless you. It will be all right. Why? because God so loved the world.
