Tätä kuuntelin viime joulun aikaan

Olen huomannut, että joka joulu jokin joululaulu nousee yli muiden. Viime joulun alla kuuntelin päivittäin Pentatonixin versiota Mary did you know -kappaleesta (klikkaa Youtube-videoon).

Pentatonix on yhdysvaltalainen a cappella -yhtye, jossa on nimensä mukaisesti viisi upeaäänistä jäsentä. Yhtyeen versiot joululauluista ovat raikkaita ja modernisti soivia. Vanhat tutut laulut lähtevät lentoon popahtavine sovituksineen ja beat boxauksineen. 

Koskettava Mary did you know -kappale on 2015 ilmestyneellä That's Christmas to me -joulualbumilla. Myöhemmin yhtyeeltä on julkaistu myös joulualbumit The Pentatonix Christmas 2016 ja The Pentatonix Christmas Deluxe viime vuonna viidellä ekstrakappaleella täydennettynä. Albumit ovat kuunneltavissa Spotifyssa.

Mary, Did You Know?
Mary did you know that your baby boy would one day walk on water?
Mary did you know that your baby boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered, will soon deliver you
Mary did you know that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little baby, you kiss the face of God
Mary did you know? Mary did you know? Mary did you know?
Mary did you know? Mary did you know? Mary did you know?
The blind will see, the deaf will hear, the dead will live again
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak, the praises of the lamb
Mary did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary did you know that your baby boy would one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy is heaven's perfect lamb?
That sleeping child you're holding is the great I am
Mary did you know? Mary did you know? Mary did you know?
Mary did you know? Mary did you know? Mary did you know? Oh
Mary did you know?
