This song is a Christmas masterpiece, and a reminder about what Christmas is all about. It’s about how the word of Jesus Christ’s birth is spread throughout the world
Christmas is not December 25th. Christmas is not just one day of the year either. It’s every day since he was born 2000 years ago 😊Hallelujah, Merry Christmas and peace be with y’all!
@@mosalah2798 A simple google search proves you wrong. While the song does have connotations for a plea for peace during the Cuban missile crisis, it was written as a Christmas song.
Absolutely no one could do a song like this better than Bing. The strength of his baritone and the emphasis in all of the right places will be unmatched. God Bless Bing Crosby!
No doubting his voice was wonderful as is the music. I prefer a little less loosey-goosiness with tempo than he gives it here. But that is just my personal taste.
I was 2 years old when this was written and released as a 1962 Christmas song written by Noël Regney and Gloria Shayneas as a plea for Peace during the Cuban Missile Crisis. That was almost 62 years ago and there's never been peace. "Life is a battleground. It always has been, and always will be; and if it were not so, existence would come to an end." Carl Jung.
I like the story in this song, which recalls the Child Jesus born on Christmas Day, where Night Wind, Shepherd Boy, Little Lamb, A Mighty King declares the Glory of God to People everywhere as far as human senses, insights and wisdom could reach, acknowledging the Prince of Peace has finally Come this Day to bring us Goodness and Light !
This is such an incredibly beautiful arrangement. The background singers, the booming voice of Bing Crosby, absolutely amazing. I know the song is about the birth of Jesus Christ. But it also invokes certain images in my mind with the line, "A child shivers in the cold", images of starving, cold children in a world of vast wealth where they can and should be tended to, cared for and saved. I think that is the world Jesus Christ would want for all cold, shivering children.
Only the SPIRIT of the living G-D...and how beautiful HE is KING of the Jews YESHUA returning soon for HIS BRIDE! Before that great and terrible day of the L-RD LAST DAYS all eyes on JERUSALEM🙏🏼🙏🏼🕎🕎✝✝👀👀🌹🌹
Thank you so much for this Christmas gem. Nobody did it like Der Bingle. The way it builds with the chorus at the end still gives me goosebumps. I asked the Petersens if they would include this with their new Christmas CD. Their spiritual reverence, harmonies and abilities are amazing. I'm hoping. God bless everybody and have a great Holiday season.
not sure where the idea came this song is ABOUT the cuban missile crises, all i can say is, it was written DURING THE CUBAN MISSILE CRISES IN 1962, just like the Little drummer boy was written in 1942 during WW2 but that song was and is not about any war. Most christmas songs of today were written during WW2 and not a single one of them is about any war, they are about hope and a bright outlook for a better future.
It was written by Noel regney as a plea for peace. The "star" they keep referring to is quite literally referencing a hypothetical missile in the sky. Seriously look it up it's actually kind of fascinating
Said the night wind to the little lamb Do you see what I see? (Do you see what I see?) Way up in the sky, little lamb Do you see what I see? (Do you see what I see?)

Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy Do you hear what I hear? (Do you hear what I hear?) A song, a song high above the trees With a voice as big as the sea With a voice as big as the sea Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king Do you know what I know? (Do you know what I know?) In your palace warm, mighty king Do you know what I know? (Do you know what I know?) A Child, a Child shivers in the cold Let us bring him silver and gold Let us bring him silver and gold Said the king to the people everywhere Listen to what I say! (Listen to what I say!)

Childhood memories of Christmas immediately flooded my mind as soon as this song began playing. And the goid-old-days feelings of Christmas cheer welled up in my heart. Merry Christmas everyone.
Thank you my sweet Pennsylvania angel, Bobby, for sending this to me...I pray you are blessed BIG TIME this new year...cuz you have BLESSED ME just by being YOU..... M xoxoxo
You are throwing the word masterpiece around pretty loosely if that's the case lol so many other amazing songs in this world that are masterpieces that you could not put this next to
@@brian4544 Its Jamie Davies yes I'm doing well tii Brian my mate and friend and I hope you have a Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year Brian my friend....
The two greatest Christmas songs of all time: Do You Hear What I Hear? & The Little Drummer Boy Glory be to the birth of our newborn King, the King of Kings, our Lord Jesus Christ. 🙏 MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I don't mind "White Christmas", it's a lovely tune. But this is in a completely different league if you ask me. This gives a real Christmas atmosphere.
The first thing that comes to mind when i hear this is my cat Gizmo. For some reason this song always stuck with me in my mind after watching the movie "Gremlins". I fell in love with that little cute Mogwai "Gizmo" which later resulted in the naming of my beloved cat. Still miss him to this day, 20 years since his passing and i still get emotional when i hear this because it reminds me of him.

This song is about the Cuban Missile crisis but the lyrics were so vague that they turned it into a Christmas song

Agreed
Absolutely. As far as I'm concerned there isn't any debate to be had.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Don't give him a blanket no give him gold and silver
U know this is about the Cuban missile crisis right?
@@ej_22 do a fact check please.
Sometimes, just alluding to something is far more powerful than outright saying it. That's what this song accomplishes.
This is the best Christmas song that actually sings about CHRISTmas.
i whole hearty agree with you, for once we on same page
It’s actually about nuclear war but you could also say that
Bing Crosby.....this song is perfect! A 100yrs from now it will still be gold.
If it's anti-nuclear bomb message is heeded.
Sugar Bear , 100 years, ? No, 100000000 billion, still not long enough to be gold.

The song is about a nuclear war. Look it up.
once u know its about a nuclear war it has a lot of different images
The songs about bombs bro tf are you talking about
Yes he was alos vey very rich, in kindness abuubt love and care, Poo, no matter he loved his sheep and tented to his flock, methfore
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great song by the one and only great Bing Crosby! May him and his music always live on!!
This gorgeous Christmas song just 'took me back' decades. So evocative. Bing's voice is beautiful.
I love this song!!
This is an extraordinary song. Poetic lyrics, inspired music, and a simple concept delivered brilliantly.
Bingo. No pun intended.
Only the SPIRIT of the living G-D...and how beautiful HE is KING of the Jews YESHUA returning soon for HIS BRIDE! Before that great and terrible day of the L-RD LAST DAYS all eyes on JERUSALEM🙏🏼🙏🏼🕎🕎✝✝👀👀🌹🌹
Merry Christmas everyone 🎄
Bing Crosby releasing a video soon... what a time to be alive
The best version I've ever heard.
🙏 Amen. A beautiful Christmas song masterpiece.
These guys that sang back then were absolutely golden!!!
Bing is the voice of Christmas in our house🎅♥️
🎅🏻❤️💚❤️
You are doing well!
Great song, sung by a Spokane native!
My favorite Christmas song ever. Bing’s voice was golden. The last section gets me every time.
Bing Crosby can restore Christmas when a song has been sung after a month has passed from December 25!
They need to play this more in the radio.
The radio is the only musical instrument I know how to play...
Greatest singer in history
Great song, great singer. 🎅
I have this record. Love Bing Crosby version.❤
I have Gremlins to thank for introducing me to this classic.
Gremlins?

Me too. Heard this first on Gremlins. 😊

Another classic by Bing coming out, man I’m glad this channel starting animating his music again.
Not even Halloween yet, but with a vioce this majestic i cant complain
This was part of Christmas for as long as I can remember - Bing Crosby singing this

Do you hear what I hear. So romantic. This sound good, his voice so good and the music so cool. I love all of them
I’m singing this in my church choir!!
This gives me nostalgia I never experienced but I wish I had.
Pray for peace, people everywhere!
Bing is Christmas King .
Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see?
(Do you see what I see?)
Way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you see what I see?
(Do you see what I see?)
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
(Do you hear what I hear?)
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
(Do you hear what I hear?)
A song, a song high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know? (Do you know what I know?)
In your palace warm, mighty king
Do you know what I know? (Do you know what I know?)
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say! (Listen to what I say!)
Pray for peace, people, everywhere
Listen to what I say! (Listen to what I say!)
The Child, the Child sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

Beautiful Christmas song. Never fails to cause goosebumps
