Hauntingly beautiful and uplifting, Harry Connick, Jr. evokes a sense of peace and gives the listener goosebumps with his interpretation of this timeless piece. Haunting piano plays in the background, and Connick’s velvety voice layered on top of it carries the listener to the little town of Bethlehem where, despite difficulties, hope still prevails. Snow still glistens on the silent streets and the warmth and joy of Christmas is palpable in the peaceful and profound atmosphere. Here, year after year, the story of peace on Earth, goodwill to all, is captured, and Connick’s soulful rendition of this carol gives listeners a chance to reflect and be swept away in the spirit of the season.
