The Piano Guys – I Saw Three Ships (Official Video)

Official music video for original song “I Saw Three Ships” by The Piano Guys.

‘Twas a few nights before Christmas and all through the street,
Not a creature was stirring except this piano geek;
The lights were all hung on the houses with care,
In hopes that Jon wouldn’t play piano there;

The people were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of cello music danced in their heads;
And Paul in his t-shirt and Al in his boots
Had just settled down for an all night video shoot.

When out in the street arose such a clatter,
People sprang from their beds to see what was the matter
Out the windows they watched, their phones they unlocked
Was this a dream or should they call the cops?

Jon sprang from his bench, running fast as he could,
As the neighborhood dogs barked (just as they should);
But we heard him exclaim, ere he ran out of sight,
HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!

Helicopter Pilot:
"Look at that house!"

"Oh, yeah, it's just Jon playing the piano."

There are people who do this while I’m putting off setting up a pre-decorated, pre-lighted 4 foot Christmas tree.

Jon Schmidt is such a cool guy. I play his videos when I'm depressed and his smile and incredible music do the work. God bless you, Mr. Schmidt.

You know Christmas is coming when The Piano Guys release another video. It's been years since O come, O come, Emmanuel, and yet the creativity and ambitious ideas have never stopped. The videos are always fun and beautiful at the same time. Love it!

[amberjoy]

Just when I think they've made their best video yet, they immediately top it in the next one! So much hard work, time, and passion went into this and it's worth it.

[valerieneville]

I just think how wonderfully lively this music is through coloured lighting especially to someone who's deaf. You are creating a lively story picture. Love the piano piece excellent!

[poptart]

Dude! Its been forever since I’ve heard this song. Seriously a classic.

I saw three ships come sailing in on Christmas Day on Christmas Day. I saw three ships come sailing in on Christmas Day in the morning! 🎵 🎶
