That pulse from the bassoon and drum, the vocal approach to this, everything is so well arranged. The chords on "what can I give Him, give my heart" are heart-wrenchingly beautiful....what a fantastic take of this song.
Jamie is vastly under-rated. When I listen to him, I can see fans AND musicians swooning at his ability. His musicality, and what he brings to this old carol is authenticity, belief and a deep understanding of what being spiritual really means. His style is very intimate too. A really great rendition. Well done, Jamie!
In the bleak midwinter Frosty winds made moan; Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone. Snow was falling snow on snow, Snow on snow on snow In the bleak midwinter Long ago. Heaven cannot hold Him Nor earth sustain, Heaven and earth shall flee away When He comes to reign. In the bleak midwinter A stable place sufficed Lord God Incarnate Jesus Christ. Angels and Archangels May have gathered there, Cherubim and seraphim Thronged the air, But His Mother only, In her maiden bliss, Worshipped the Beloved With a kiss. What can I give Him, Poor as I am? If I were a Shepherd I would bring a lamb; If I were a Wise Man I would do my part, But what I can I give Him, Give my heart.
I cannot believe how amazing this arrangemnet/performance is..... I feel alive just to hear it. No words. Crap, I love this so much. Who is this amazing man.... I am overwhelmed? So beautiful. I guess, just, THANK YOU is all I've got.
This has always been my favorite Christmas carol, and this arrangement just takes it to a whole other level. Love love love love. Can't stop listening.
An underrated gem of an artist. There is so much going on here both vocally and with the arrangement, which you know his fingerprints were all over. My respect.
Always loved Jamie Cullum! Praying for years that he gives his heart to Jesus for real :) maybe he has, maybe he will....beautiful exceptional work as usual
Dear sister, God gave this thoughts in our hearts. Jesus loves him so much. And he answers prayers. I am glad to hear this song and I pray for touching the hearts of many listeners by this beautiful interoretation Jesus Christ, our Lord and saviour , will come back soon. Everyone who repents and gives his heart to Jesus and trusts in him alone is saved. John 14, 6 Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Noone comes to the father, but by him. Lets pray for Jamie and his family and all listeners. 🙏 Hope we will see them in the kingdom of Jesus Christ 👑
You have a beautiful talent of brining out moments of pure stillness and simplicity on top of complicated and delicate arrangements. This really brought a tear to my eye. Helps me keep my family close when everyone is far away this season. Thank you
A truly different and amazing arrangement of this old carol. Brings a whole new modern feeling to it. Just wonderful, my favourite this year by far. Thank you Jamie.
just wonderful. When I feel numb, I play this, and I feel things again. And not only just "things" - good things, I should say. I feel good things thanks to you Jamie, and I feel alive and happy and full! Thank you!
I absolutely love your arrangement. The backing vocals are haunting…as is the song itself. You are a unique voice I just discovered. Sorry it took me so long!
Thank you Jamie for making these past (and upcoming) few weeks such a musical treat! You've made our 2020 better. Cannot wait to see you live again once all this madness ends!
This guy is just so talented! This kept coming up on an amazon Christmas playlist and I had to look it up, it is just so beautiful. Jamie Cullum is excellent at taking a well known song and giving it such an interesting twist. This recording is exquisite.
Jamie such gifted all round musician! He is hugely talented, he can sing and play music with such amazing voice! He should be given more credit and recognition!
It's pure Magic what you put into this beloved Classic. Now it's totally your Song. My dad died a few days ago, this is the First Thing that makes me smile again
I came across your performance while searching for a video of this song. It was my mom and dad's favorite, and at this time of year, I wanted to hear it, think of them. And I found this. Thank you, Jamie, for you and your colleague's most beautiful performance. I wasn't familiar with your voice, or your work, but now I am....I've listened to everything I can find! And I've told everyone I know about this gorgeous, gorgeous masterpiece. You've given me my very first Christmas gift. Love and Merry Christmas from Canada!!
PatC - is the best Xmas album ever. And even if it`s not, it's probably the best way to end this year. Thank you for the music, mr. Cullum! Thanks from Russia.
This is absolutely my favourite version of this song but it would be even better if credit was given to the amazing Christina Rossetti who wrote these beautiful words. 💕
Jamie , love your music and your very special voice. I have tickets for the concert in Munich whenever it will be After or within the crazy Carola/Corona times.want to See you performing live once in my life. My favorit: Uptownfunk YEAH .greetings and merry christmas. love galore from Munich Sylvia 😊🌟🌟🌟
I want to love this rendition Jamie your voice is angelic do you sing to glorify god or self I read about your struggle as a Roman Catholic myself as a Shepard I pray to see all souls go to heaven I’m praying for who sing songs of our lord also know they are a vessel to others who do not know there faith it’s a big responsible for you have been awarded from god such gifts in this world one can’t serve but one master I Hope you chose god Saint Michael the Archangel please protect us against violence murder robbery in your goodness preserve us today from all the malice of sinful and wicked persons in your sleepless vigilance watch over the safety and welfare of our homes and keep guard over our possessions ever hold in your special care most triumphant Saint Michael the forces of public order against the crimes of evil people and defend all honest citizens in time of peril we asked us through Christ our Lord amen Saint Michael the Archangel protect us in battle Be our protection against the wickedness snares of the devil may God rebuke him we humbly pray of thou O Prince of the heavenly host by the power of God cast into hell Satan and all the evils spirits who prowl about the world seeking to ruin souls peace joy love amen 📿

In the bleak midwinter
Frosty winds made moan;
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone.
Snow was falling snow on snow,
Snow on snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long ago.
Heaven cannot hold Him
Nor earth sustain,
Heaven and earth shall flee away
When He comes to reign.
In the bleak midwinter
A stable place sufficed
Lord God Incarnate
Jesus Christ.
Angels and Archangels
May have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim
Thronged the air,
But His Mother only,
In her maiden bliss,
Worshipped the Beloved
With a kiss.
What can I give Him,
Poor as I am?
If I were a Shepherd
I would bring a lamb;
If I were a Wise Man
I would do my part,
But what I can I give Him,
Give my heart.
thank you thomas shelby
@@elprofessor4288 love the reference
Thank you for the lyrics
God bless🙏
This is a poem by the English poet Christina Rossetti.
Merci pour ces paroles 🙏
This song could've lasted for 3 hours, and I'd still be listening in awe. Pure magic it is.
ikr

I have nothing really to say except I have always loved Jamie Cullum, so commenting to bump this song up the TH-cam algorithms!
Officially my new favourite Christmas song
THAT is pure music.
Please, never stop playing. (Remember Luxembourg show, a few years ago)
Perhaps in the top 3 most perfect Christmas carols ever written - and this version puts all others to shame. ♥️😇♥️
Have always loved some of the more obscure holiday songs the holly and the ivy is another favorite
I always look forward to the festive season. So I can enjoy this version. Pure Magic Jamie ❤️👌
Just love this. Contemporary but keeping with spirit of the original poem.
Making winter less bleak with this one❤️
Thank you for a beautiful rendition of my favourite Carol 🤗👏👏👏👏🙏🎄

Old carol, stunning new arrangement,

Tamo junta! 😀
@@deborahcostagarcia9785 Brasil e Jamie TMJ!
Soothing, calming sound, beautiful
I love this version so much ❤️
Last Christmas, I hear this song for the first time and I still love it.
I didn't know this carol before- it became my favorite very quickly. I love the arrangement, especially the saxophone. Thank you for this music!
I agree - it's a gorgeous arrangement! I had to look twice myself but that saxophone is, in fact, a bass clarinet (a highly under rated instrument!)
@@rosiemcniff9465 I'm not an expert in brass ;) but if it is so, then someone should change the credits.
Composed by Gustav Holst ( UK )
I don't know this fella but he sure breaks my heart!!!
Your touch on this old carol, sounds perfect. Love you from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Excellent.
His voice is like honey!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really brings up the December vibes
So beautiful. ❤️
Just the best, as always ❤❤❤
