raloriaThis is the final Songs of the Season post for this Holiday season. I hope you've enjoyed all the Yule Tunes (Heehee!). I didn't get the full 24 days, but I came awfully close!
If you'd like to see a list of all the songs, you can check out my LJ Misc page on my Raloria's Resources site. Most of the links have expired by now, but if you still want any of the songs, just leave me a comment here and let me know which song or songs you'd like, and I'll re-upload them for you. You won't get them in time for this Christmas, but there's always next year, right? ;)
This final edition has some of my very favorite Christmas songs, along with some last minute bonus songs I just had to include. It's been great bringing all this great music to you. Enjoy the tunes! :D
A Holly Jolly Christmas -- By Burl Ives from "Have A Holly Jolly Christmas".
This song is hands down, my favorite Christmas song...ever! It's happy and bouncy and just makes me all Christmas-y! It's like the holiday season doesn't really begin until I hear this song and every time I hear it on the radio I just have to turn it up loud. Listen to this song and "have a cup of cheer" on me!
Jingle Bell Rock -- By Bobby Helms from "The Best Of Christmas, Volume 1".
This song holds some special memories for me. When I was in junior high school we would do dancing in gym class between Thanksgiving up to Christmas break. It was great fun! One of the dances we always learned was to this song and believe it or not, I still remember some of the steps! I love this song!
White Christmas -- By Bing Crosby from "The Best Of Christmas, Volume 1".
You can't go wrong with this perfect classic by "der Bingle" himself! This song just makes me feel nostalgic for Christmases of the past, when I was a kid and couldn't wait to wake up Christmas morning and see what was in my stocking!
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen -- By The Barenaked Ladies & Sarah McLachlan from an unknown online source.
I discovered this great, modern take on a traditional carol last Christmas and fell instantly in love with it. I've been known to play it 5 times in a row. The acoustic guitars, the blending of voices, the tempo are all wonderful!
Christmas Island -- By Spike Jones & his Orch. from "Let's Sing A Song Of Christmas".
There's a version of this little known song sung by The Andrews Sisters, but this recording is my favorite. A lovely little Christmas carol from the tropics!
Bonus Songs:
The Magic Of The Night -- By Enya from "Sound Of The Season" via an online blog.
I came across this song a few days ago as I was listening to AccuRadio and just had to track it down! I'm a big Enya fan from way back, so it's easy to fall in love with any of her stuff. This is just....beautiful.
Believe (From The Polar Express) -- By Josh Groban from an unknown online source.
I actually bought the soundtrack to this film without having actually seen the film itself! I've got the movie recorded off the TV now, but have only seen part of it. LOL! But last year, this song was being played on the radio a lot and I fell in love with it. Such a pretty melody, and Josh's voice is, as always, heavenly.
Stop The Cavalry -- By The Cory Band & The Gwalia Singers from an online source.
This song is going to seem like a very odd one to include, but there's a reason. This song is rather famous in the Pacific Northwest. It's by far, the most requested song on the radio during the holiday season. Several years ago, a station played it and it's been the talk of the town ever since! It's that song that you hear and go "What is that? I've gotta have that song!". I'm going to include a link to the lyrics, because they're kind of hard to make out and everyone always wonders what they're saying. I'm just glad that I was able to find it online to share with all of you, because other than hearing it on the radio, only one store in the area sells the CD containing this song! So it's kind of rare. Enjoy!
