Two for the price of one. (Price of one=free)

Here is two interpretations of the same piece.

'Carol of the Bells' by Mykola Dmytrovych is easily the most supreme Christmas Carol known to man, I've heard so many times over the years, but I didn't realize its full potential until Salty suggested I cover it.

And I've got to say it's one of the more challenging things I've done vocally. First of all, the soprano part has virtually no room for breath, and second, it's really bloody hard to actually sing words up that high, as opposed to just going "Waahhhhh!!!" Third, I really went nuts trying to get a full "choir" sound, I think it's about 30 or 40 vocal overdubs.

I couldn't resist trying it out in a hard rock style. It's how I'm made. So I guess it made sense just to put both versions out.
