Jessica Andersson - Do You Hear The Bells


37 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS!!

Stream Do You Hear The Bells here (Spotify)

Songs like Jessica Andersson's Do You Hear The Bells are what the word "enchanting" was invented for. It is an absolutely charming, brand new Christmas song that plays like the most lilting lullaby capturing all the magic of the most wonderful time of the year. It, of course, has some jingling bells but it is the gorgeous piano accompaniment that adds an emotive resonance to the lyrics. Jessica sings with a heartfelt sincerity about all the delights that the season brings, conveying the excitement and anticipation that the countdown to the big day can bring. She paints a picture of a winter wonderland and the vocal feels like it comes from a place of child like innocence. The music gradually gets more textured and lush as the song progresses and you are soon immersed in a wall of sound that is as comforting and uplifting as a hug from an old friend. Which, let's face it, is just what we all need this year. Play whenever you need to banish your cynicism or Scrooge-like mood and wrap yourself in something so ethereal that it helps the worries of the world fade away (even if just for the glorious 3 minutes it plays for)...
