Day Four: Do You Hear What I Hear, by the Bocelli Family
My fourth choice is another song I only found late in the season last year. As a kid, I never knew Do You Hear What I Hear, and when I learned about it, I liked it… Sorta, kinda, maybe. The melody and theme is engaging, but I never really heard a version that I especially wanted to hear more than another. Last year, I started exploring different versions of it, both instrumentals and vocals, and was rather annoyed that none of them “clicked.” It seemed as though it was just exactly the sort of song I would like, but what rendition?
I complained about my conundrum in Scroll one evening, and much to my surprise, S🤦♂️, of all people, recommended I try listening to the Andrea Bocelli version. I took him up on it and went one step further by trying the Family edition rather than the Solo. Ooh, my! Andrea, Matteo and Virginia make the most beautiful harmonies, their highs and lows balancing perfectly. I never really got to know Andrea Bocelli because my mom doesn't care for him (she thinks his voice sounds soulless… I don't quite get that.)
The story, the music and the voices unfold like a Disney movie, for me, painting pictures of hopes, prayers and dreams. This is a song I'm proud to have kept on my old phone since I added it last year. It clicks in every way. Thank you, Steven, and happy almost birthday I didn't think you even listen to Christmas music. I hope you have as enjoyable a December as possible
