I am 72 years old, and today in May 2022 was the first time I had ever heard "Still, Still, Still." It was an instrumental cover version that was playing on my cable company's "Music Choice Soundscapes" channel. The music was so beautiful that I got teary-eyed. I Googled the title and got this website. I read the exquisite lyrics and the comments, and now am a weeping mess. In an instant this song has become one of my most favorite songs ever. Thank you.
I was so moved by it the first time I heard it many years ago. “One can hear the falling snow” - such a beautiful line and one I have had the blessing of experiencing.
I am over 70 years old. When I was a sophomore in high school, I was fortunate to be selected for an all city choir consisting of about 100 exceptional singers from my midwestern city's six public and parochial high schools' A Capella choirs. On our first rehearsal, we sang Still, Still, Still as the first work. Few of us were familiar with the song, but we performed it almost perfectly all the way through on the first try. For me, it immediately became my favorite Christmas carol. Many years later after my two granddaughters were born, the first song I sang to each of them was this lullaby - with a verse or two in the original Austrian. Merry Christmas to all and Peace be with you!! 🎄🎀🎉🎇☦✝
This is a favorite Christmas song shared by me and my Mom. Mom passed away in late October this year. This will be my first Christmas without her, and I don't know if I'll be able to survive the loss. I thought losing my chihuahua in 2018 was hard, but the loss of the spiritual bond with my Mom is almost unbearable.
It’s amazing how a song can link us to a person and/or time. I’m so sorry for your loss. I lost my mother 30 years ago and certain songs still take me back. Just said a prayer for you. 🙏
Merry Christmas in Heaven, my beautiful black kitty Raven. You came to me when my heart was in a million pieces and taught me how to love again. You got me through the toughest times of my life. You taught me more about humanity than any human ever could. No matter how hard I try, I could never repay you. I love you, girl, and I miss you so very much 🐈⬛❤🐈⬛
This song will always remind me of my favorite dance teacher I ever had, and still do have. We danced to this when I was in elementary school, and it was the most beautiful, tearful dance. It snowed at midnight on Christmas Eve of 2020, and I listened to this as I drove through the snow. I will forever think of my teacher when I hear this song.
45 years, or so, ago Louis Davis Sr., Chip's father, taught me this song while I was in my high school choir. So beautiful, clearly, I have never forgotten it
As someone who ushered at your earliest performances at the Orpheum Theater in Omaha back in the '70s. I fell in love with your music style and looked forward to every performance I ever attended. I still have my Fresh Aire I, II, and III albums and poster I bought there. Thank you to all the members of Mannheim!
I played this song on the piano at Christmas Eve communion, days after my Gran passed. I dedicated it to her memory. 15 years later, and I still wish she was here with us.
This is beautiful indeed! But do yourselves a favor, be sure also to listen to Ivan Rebroff's recording. (This site is not letting me post a link.) *He had the widest vocal range from soprano to the deepest bass.* On the recording below, At 0:41 and 1:27 the great, unequaled Ivan Rebroff sings the LOWEST note ever recorded by a human being, and note, he is the same one who sings the high notes at 1:00 ❣️❣️❣️ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qvzAqlQ_ELg.html

My Grandma and Grandpa both loved this song and after lots of fun games at the family Christmas party we would all sit together and sing this song and they would both cry. Both of them are now with Jesus Christ and we continue to sing it to this day Merry Christmas.
Christmas won't be the same without you, Argento, my handsome boy. You're with Raven and the others at the Rainbow Bridge now. I'm so sorry, buddy. The surgery was supposed to help you. We were supposed to have a few more good years together. 3 days later you were gone. I feel like I lied to you and let you down. I'm so sorry, my beautiful boy, so very sorry 🐈⬛
Happy holidays poppy we think you often i miss your laugh and mow i ask everyone to bow there heads i am leeping my promose and keeping your daughter safe kids are good they miss you happy thanksgiving pops
No disrespect, but the song was originally performed in Austrian German in 1865. If you and your oldest were able to enjoy the song then, you have been exceptionally blessed.😊 There have been several variations in both German and English since then. Merry Christmas!🎄🎁

"Still" my favorite song of the Sylvania A Cappella choir's repertoire during my tenure. And the over-the-top highlights of being conducted by Norman Luboff, Chip Davis and accompanied by Jackson Berkey.

This was my Opas favorite Christmas song we'd sing it after midnight mass before opening gifts reminds me of childhood and my beloved Ooa and my beautiful Tirol Austria just 65 years later
Humbles me and makes me think of my mother gone from my life since the age of Nine she was such a good person I guess I didn't deserve her but someday I will
I hear you... I listen to this song and see my Mom's face on Christmas Night. I was lucky to have her past 9 years old, and yet her passing will never cease to be a bitter pill...
I'm losing my first close relative to cancer. My brother at age 50 is dying far too young from colon cancer. I've pondered and lamented and prayed. At the end of my journey, I realize there are no life guarantees, and every day is truly an individual gift. I pray your sadness from an early separation from your mother can turn to a personal appreciation for your own limited time on earth. God bless you in our understanding and gravity pull to our Creator and homeward destination.
+mark dougherty I'm really sorry your losing your brother as Jesus said take heart I have overcome the world take comfort in the idea you'll see him it's not good bye it's only a see you later yes the road for you will be long and hard you may have nights were you want to cry but you will see him again I promise you will hope this helps you💓
Our Youth boys practiced this song for weeks and our rendition was a little R&B but the day we sang it, in church, one of our singer just started busting up in laughter, hysterically 😅… Which made me laugh, which made all of us start laughing hysterically. So for the last minute of the song was our piano player playing and a bunch of youth boys trying to control their laughter. Needless to say, we’re Samoans, and yes, we got beaten up from our parents. But looking back, that was the funniest and most embarrassing moment of my life. 😅
Dad though we never met i love you am i sorry you passed on alone i searched for you only to find you had passed a few days before your grandson was born but he like i look just like you no matter why you left when i was young i have always loved you had to learn to stop living with your ghost but you remain in my heart forever wish you and i could have had a meal together and you could have met your grand children but i guess god needed you more merry christmas dad i love you
