Watch the Whimsical New Video Of The Polyphonic Spree For 'Let It Snow'
This is this time of the year, when bands record corny albums filled with Christmas music that shouldn't be allowed to be recorded once again. Most of them are pretty horrible, and you would think unsellable,… who wants to hear another version of ‘Jingle Bells’ or ‘It’s the most wonderful time of the year’? Curiously, lots of people buy this type of music around Christmas,… but not me, that’s why I was not expecting much of this new recording of ‘Let It Snow’ by the Polyphonic Spree.
The gospel-choir choral from Texas has released a Holiday album ‘Holidaydream: Sounds of the Holidays Volume One’, back in October, and just posted this charming animated video for a totally updated version of ‘Let it Snow’. If it wasn’t for the lyrics ‘let it snow’ I wouldn’t have figured out it was that winterland song. Instead of that irritating chorus that makes me run out of any store after hearing it for the 30th time during this period of the year, their version has this angelic harp melody, and the Spree's signature made of trumpets and strings blending with each other, and oh surprise a big fat sun, butterflies, palm trees, a tropical island, dolphins and a little boy dreaming about a white Christmas on his sunny island… but the end doesn’t really make sense does it? Anyway, watch the video, it will remind you the Christmas of your childhood:
