We know, we know.....
This is kinda cliché, but we needed a good backing track for our upcoming Christmas gig and we couldn't find a good karaoke tape.
Luckily there was BiaB smile
We quickly generated the backing track (20 minutes).
And decided to post it as our Christmas greetings.
The second verse may not sound too familiar to you, that's because it's in Dutch laugh
Best wishes to you all!

Hi Rob and Anne-Marie,

A beautiful version of one of my favourite seasonal songs.
Such exquisite and warm sounding vocals.
Your voices in harmony are indeed a heavenly sound!
Loved the second verse.

Merry Christmas and Happy 2017 to you both smile

Nothing wrong with cliché when it comes to Christmas Carols IMHO, it is nice to hear something familiar.

Vocals are great! The combination of the two voices is superb. My wife speaks Dutch, I will play her this when she gets home.

Love, love, love those harmonies. Really getting into the Christmas spirit now! Your Dutch verse sounds very like our Afrikaans. Just wonderful.

My dear friends

The calmness and sincerity that flow from this rendition was amazing. To take a song sung by so many thousand and to be able to give it such a wonderful touch your ‘own touch you just added another dimension to my faith.

Beautiful!

I loved hearing it in Dutch!!!!!!

So here is my question back to you:

If you can sing that well in Dutch, why do you bother singing in English?
