Thank you so much 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lyrics were written by stand-up comedian Mark Lowry with music by Buddy Greene. It gets me every time. Love this song too. Never heard this version before, though. Kathy Mattea has got a great voice. As it happens we’re doing this song this Sunday morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinnyman Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I can’t believe no one has mentioned this gem yet.... Not a hit, admittedly but, along with Greg Lake, one of my favourite Christmas songs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it as a single when it was first released in 1981 and it also turned up on the YesYears compilation as well as the Swiss Choir Christmas album (which I hadn't heard of till recently and would love to get a copy) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Chris-Squires-Swiss-Choir-Squire/dp/B002Q9VPG6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the super delux reissue of CS’ Fish Out Of Water simply to get the original, pre-Swiss Choir version on CD. PS the Swiss Choir version of Gaudete is pretty cool too... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) Have to say that's turning out to be one of my favs this year. @Skinnyman Chris Squire's bass is as always perfect.

Isn't it? I love that run down he does to lead into the second verse. Both he and Jon Anderson did Christmas albums. I've not heard Swiss Choir but I'm prepared to bet that it's the better of the two.....😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was my Sadowsky into my REDDI. Youtube’s compression has actually made the audio suffer too, the original mastered track sounds much better! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest i thought the production was pretty good and i'm using Sennheiser headphones. Bass sounded really nice in the mix. Job well done i reckon.
