Song of the Week Christmas Special

Rotation 1

The Bird and the Bee, Stockings by the Fire [EP] - "Carol of the Bells"


We all get those moments when the traditional songs that we grew-up with can start to get under our skin.  I enjoyed this rendition of "Carol of the Bells" - it sounds like something out of Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas with a Calypso dream sequence.







Rotation 2

You wouldn't necessarily think that Conor Oberst would be the poster child for a christmas album, but when you hear his version of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman," there is something so befitting about it - blending right in with his original works.
