    Merry Christmas!!! What a year 2018 has been, the best Christmas gift has been 8 months in the making, and that's all of YOU! Thank you for being such an amazing community, here's my gift for you. When we think of the standard Christmas carol, we usually think joyous and celebratory, but there's something about Carol of the Bells (originally Shchedryk, written by the Ukrainian composer Leontovych) that is just so magical, but still captures the Christmas spirit so well. My friend Patrik Pietschmann also released a video of his Carol of the Bells arrangement (also based on the Williams arr.) a few days ago, with FALLING SNOW FLAKES!! ruclips.net/video/mb9A46gZ9iI/видео.html Check it out and the rest of his channel too :D

      The song sounds like that because it uses the first four notes of the melody of he old Gregorian chant "Dies Irae" (day of wrath), which is constantly used in movies to portray death and something scary. You can find the dies Irae melody in Star Wars, The Lion King, The Shining... There is a cool Sideways video on it, I think.

    Hey Rousseau, I have a few song suggestions for you to add to your huge list. While many people want Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, I personally think you should wait for 1 mil. In the meantime, I would love to see Chopin’s Waterfall Etude, Sonata Pathetique Mov. 1, or another easier song of your choice(I REALLY enjoyed prelude in C). Keep up the amazing work, you deserve 1mil.

    The night was as cold as the trigger of his gun, he walked down the slums, a snowy hell. Ice was cracking with his steps, everything was going straight to the end. Choosing to kill is always hard, but now, there's really no other way. They brought this to themselves. Who could imagine that two young thieves will slaughter his wife? He stood in the broken door frame, and looked forward. The little one was bleeding, the second was freezing, what a pitiful ending. But he was the one to finish it, even if he were to pay for it with prison. Two shots were heard this cold night, instead of bells.

      Ayo, don’t mind me sliding into your replies but we kinda have a similar situation lol.
      I’m 15, and I kinda grew out of playing the piano when I was 12. I’m here watching this vid cuz I wanted to learn the song, since one day while I was lingering in the backrooms of the music room, someone played that on the grand piano and it was really cool to me. I never really got the name of the song until about 2 weeks ago, I heard it again at a carol service and a friend of mine told me.
      At any rate, don’t quit, cuz the piano is a really cool instrument :D ✨
