Silver Bells - The Petersens (LIVE)

Our last new video of the season features Emmett singing "Silver Bells." He arranged it and brought it to our group this summer, and we had a lot of fun learning it to add to the show.

And don't worry, Katie was full of gratitude and nailed the final take! In fact, she said that Aaron helped make her hair even better than it already was, thus making Christmas super great. Rumor has it, Aaron later admitted there never was a fly in her hair :)

►LYRICS - Silver Bells
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas Day

Strings of streetlights, even stop lights
Blink with bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all this bustle you hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas Day [x3]

Soon it will be Christmas Day [x2]

*LYRICS - Silver Bells*

City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas Day

Strings of streetlights, even stop lights
Blink with bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch
This is Santa's big scene
And above all this bustle you hear

Silver bells, silver bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas Day [x3]

Soon it will be Christmas Day [x2]

Album: Hopefully a future Christmas album 🎄✨

I seriously think that Emmett might be one of the best, if not the best resonator guitar player in bluegrass today.

[juliacloud]

Emmett singing this song is one of the best things to happen in 2022! 👏👏👏

[troykauffman]

Happy Birthday Emmett! Great rendition and thank you for the wonderful music you create for us all. Take a bow sir. 👏👏👏

[Kioti-uqju]

I would have never thought Silver Bells could be so good. Emmett's arrangement is the best I have heard for Silver Bells and the violin solo was a masterpiece in my mind.

[cmac]

Perfect post for Emmetts birthday. He's a great guy, and fantastic musician and vocalist. Love when he lends his unique voice to the band! I pray he has a great year ahead of him!

[LukeWhite_PE]

“Silver Bells” has always been my mom’s favorite Christmas song, she’s going to love this rendition.

Happy birthday, Emmett!

[fantomuz]

If apocalypse happen, you should be the first to save. Thank you for getting all of the best from the inside of my soul. America should be proud of you. From Russia with love, best regards, Fantom.

[donalddoyle]

Ok, with those harmonies it's now official Emmett is a true brother! Wonderfully done!

[jonathanholloway]

The mandolin coming in third after the Dobro and guitar was just delightful! Like twinkling Christmas lights on a dark blustery Christmas night with icicles hanging off. A perfect touch..

[josegenaroriveraloanzon]

A fun song for Emmett's birthday! Happy Birthday, Emmett!

[BillFleming-qo]

Great job Emmett and group! Beautiful rendition!!

[lausimeyer]

Looking forward to listen to you in Köln.

[withoutthegate]

[josephpetrilli]

The Petersens---my best musical discovery of 2022! Thank You!

[norbertrossi]

Thank you, Petersens and Emmet for more Christmas joy. Bless you.

[sergiocanalini]

Siete un gruppo meraviglioso, che suonate una musica fantastica, che a me piace moltissimo. Va ascoltata con amici e amiche bevendo una buona birra fresca. Avete ricevuto un dono da Dio, quello di creare delle melodie fantastiche. Tutto questo proviene dal vostro cuore e dall'anima che c'è in voi. BUONE FESTE. Grazie mille ciao.

[TheRisenRAGE]

This family/band is a National Treasure. They must be protected at all costs.

[ronjames-music]

I love that deceptive cadence right into a violin solo. Well done!

[janok]

A very pleasant Christmas song with a catchy chorus.
