Bradley Buckle - Not so much of an emptiness, but it is hauntingly sad. The beauty of this piece brings back memories of sweet, meaningful times never to be experienced again. Times that should have been appreciated, but through the trials of life felt burdened by heaviness. This song really pulls at the heart strings. However, I am so grateful for my present life and celebrate ALL of my life experiences (whether good or bad). God bless.
Ah, such a simpler time when this video came out. In December 2008, I was just starting 2nd grade, so much more naive and joyous with the world around me.Now, here I am in December 2019, starting a job with full-time hours and attending college full-time as well, constantly weighed down by the pressures of adulthood and an awareness of the treachery in the world around me. Sometimes I just wish those simpler times would never end, ya know? I guess we all have that desire from time to time.
When I was 6 I would sit outside and look at the falling snow and listen to this song as Charlie Brown was playing and my mom would always say everything's gonna be alright and I would smile and hug her those were the times when my life was at it's prime.
Reminds me of my boyhood when my parents and I lived in Slidell, Louisiana and ALL of the times we went to New Orleans, Louisiana back in the 1970's when we lived there from April 1971 to mid-July 1977. GOOD TIMES!!!!
Julie Liu What do you mean? There is some jazz in this piece. And what do you mean by it being "quiet"? Of course it's being played in a soft volume, but how does that make the piece not jazzy?
***** as u can c in my previous comment i was implying that the music was being played with a quiet dynamic along with its jazzy style srry for misunderstanding
Last night I slept in the Miami airport and I listened to a version of this song quite similar to the one you're performing. That made my night! I loved it more than the original! You're a great prayer!
I needed to hear this song right now and I enjoy the slower pace that this version is played. Christmas has always been a bittersweet time for me. I long for the days when there was no Black Friday or Cyber Monday, and everything was closed on Christmas day. Those days are long gone. As Charlie Brown would say, ""
Haven't heard or even thought of this music in decades... I overheard a small snippet of it playing somewhere while christmas shopping today... I could NOT stop hearing it play over and over in my head. So once home, I jumped on RU-vid and searched for it... Found myself here...Mesmerized by nostaligia... Almost brings tears to my eyes... Absolutely beautiful.
I remember hearing this one night on the radio, it was winter and absolutely beautiful outside. The sparkling snow reflecting the street lights, the warm glow of the buildings in the cold outdoors. Icicles. This song is really well written for that sort of setting.
It’s been 12 years and 2 since I heard it from Royale High and I still call this a sad song. Well, me being emotionally stable, I’m getting dark vibes here. I don’t care if it’s Christmas-themed or anything, this piano cover gave me the chills.
As a more modern day composure, it's simply as grand as Beethovens 5th or anything Shopan could have composed. Love this cause it reminds me of my childhood and the excitement of finally hearing that network t.v. channel bringing Charlie Browns Christmas to t.v. on whatever night they said it would air on. The magic of such anticipation doesn't burn any longer I'm afraid. DVD's and the easy access to watch this from streaming services and other related options leaves the inner childhood vacant and despaired. I remain to love this piece of music so much; it just no longer represents what it once did with as much anxiety as awaiting Christmas morning as a child. It's as if...my childhoods forever trapped in a bottle back in time. 😟
I love this song. A Charlie Brown Christmas has always been one of my favorites and this song is very relaxing to me...although it does bring back Christmas memories and it makes me miss my Dad who has been gone for 8 years now.
Beautful! It was so good i am about to cry. Very nice playing. You should become a famous pianist. That was spectacular, astounding, marvelous and many other awesome words! WOW!!!!
haha it is,this is the best version of it.its all what we've been wanting,relaxing with a nice and slow tampo..ahhh.....sooo relaxing haha.very nice,very nice
Excellent and thank you for posting this im in awe of it and to see it on the staff well my work is cut forth in front of me to learn it spellbinding and a household standard every Christmas my Mother loved it....
This is a beautiful arrangement! I can't explain how much I love this. I just downloaded the sheet music from your website and I can't wait to share this beauty with others!
Ahhh yes... that is beautiful. I just bought the Charlie Brown piano songbook (Hal Leonard) and I wanted to see a video of someone playing this to get me psyched up. Thanks chilkari, that put me in the Christmas spirit and it's not even Thanksgiving yet! Your piano play has that quality of "stark beauty", just like Charlie Brown. FIVE STARS!!!
