Just upbeat enough to motivate you to get some shopping done.
The beat is driving, but not too driving. Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer Oh, the weather outside is frightful But the fire is so delightful And since we've no place to go Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow Man, it doesn't show signs of stoppin' And I brought me some corn for poppin' The lights are turned way down low Let it snow, let it snow When we finally kiss goodnight How I'll hate going out in. It’s a small difference, but a big difference.ģ. Oh, the D weather A outside is D frightful, But the A fire is so de- A7 lightful, And Em since weve no place to go, Let it A snow, let it A7. In the original, the words “let it snow” are sung to a descending melody here, the line ascends. The combination of live and synthesized instruments helps bring the song from the past into the present.Ģ. So really, if you consider this song’s contradictions, it seems right that a 19-year-old producer from Austria has wrenched it from the hands of the Michael Bubles and Celine Dions of the world, freshened it up a little, and given us something different in our stockings this year.ġ. Secondly, despite all the wintry references, it wasn’t written during the winter. So if you ever imagined the songwriters huddling together by their stockings to write this tune, you can abandon that altogether: Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne wrote it in the summer. The only food mentioned is popcorn, which is hardly a yuletide treat. No references to Santa, reindeer, or chestnuts roasting on a fire, open or otherwise. This is a dark, ethereal, driving version of a song more usually associated with words like bright, cheery, and fluffy.īut upon closer inspection, the original song hides a few surprises itself.įirst of all, even though we think of it as a Christmas song (and it’s been on Christmas albums by everyone from Dean Martin to Kylie Minogue) the word “Christmas” is nowhere to be found in the lyrics. If you’re surprised by what you hear when you press play this week, I don’t blame you.
