Sooo, still no updates on the meme, but I thought, while you wait, I could present you with a small but neat assortment of christmassy songs.


I uploaded my favourite-ever Christmas Carol CD which we bought back in 1991 in England and that was the first christmas I kind of really remember and its just a very special CD to me.

I think these songs are performed by 4 different choirs so these carlos are very epic.

Do Enjoy!

Carols

O Come O Ye Faithful
The First Noel
Good King Wencelas
The Holly And The Ivy
Silent Night
Ding Dong Merrily On High
Once In Royal David's City
O Little Town Of Bethlehem
God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
We Three Kings
Away In A Manger
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing





And for those of you who are more into the classical music an less into the singing (though there is some singing here too, but less insane choir). We also bought this in England when there was this ongoing magazine thingy where one magazine came out every week and there was a classic CD with it and each magazine dealt with a different composer? You know it? Well there was a Christmas special anyway and thats where this CD is from.

A Celebration In Music


O Come, All Ye Faithful
Once In Royal David's CIty
Ding Dong Merrily On High
Away In A Manger
Ballet Suite From The Fairy Doll
Ave Maria
Concerto In B Flat
Vesperae Solennes De Confessore K339
Concerto Grosso
'Hail Thee, Gracious Jesus' for organ
The First Noel
Silent Night




And then also for those of you who are totally NOT. AT. ALL into any of this really serious dramatic carol/classic stuff, here's some christmassy/wintery poppy songs for you, performed by Ronan Keating!

A VERY nice CD I bought for my mother this December and we both very much enjoy.

It has "River" on it, you remember, this one song I really love in the interpretation of Robert Downey Jr.
Well Mr. Keating's interpretation is a teeny tiny little bit less melancholic and dramatic, but still very nice.
And I had NEVER before seen "homeward bound" as a wintery song, but now that he mentions it, the lyrics do fit quite well.


Winter Songs

Winter Song
Stay
Scars
Homeward Bound
River
Its Only Christmas
Little Drummer Boy
Ring Them Bells
Caledonia
Silent Night
Have Yourself A Very Merry Christmas
I Won't Last A Day Without You





I'll try ripping some more CDs tonight, I tried yesterday but that one CD I wanted (namely the one with Mr. Downey Jr's version of "River" on it) didn't want to work D:
Will upload those songs then if it works.

I've made my journal "friends only" so I can keep track of people who read my stuff.

Meanwhile I'm not so bitchy about adding people like I was before, so if you leave a comment, we chat a bit, I'll most likely add you!

Generally, if we share the same interests, I'll add you back.

Same interests would be things like:
Japan, Jrock, visual kei, manga, cosplay, design, bishounen, fanfiction etc

Additionally, prepare yourself to read massive angstyness once in a while!!!



so, welcome to my journal and have fun!!!


P.S.:
when possible
(which means, when I'm on a comp that can write japanese...which I am most of the time) I write bandnames in japanese.
I also write my friends' names in japanese, and other stuff like "ganbatte" or sorts...
I do it a) because it's fun and b) that way I practise a bit.
