to be conflicted about 'It was on a Starry Night'?

[choirconflicted]

Do I hate it or is it the unfortunate effect of every junior school choir in the county murdering it at this time of year?

AND ALL THE ANGELS.....

[picklemepopcorn]

It's difficult to sing well, I think. Jumps all over the shop. In fact, I don't really like it.

[TovaGoldCoin]

I can belt it out. It's a bit high for me, and my 4 year olds have started to copy my awful 'reaching' for.. Bells of... Heaven... Bit

[choirconflicted]

Seems to be sung in an American accent as well.

[DrMadelineMaxwell]

I used to love playing that at school for the children to sing. :)

Very tricky to sing properly.

[choirconflicted]

The words are very pretty, I think they redeem it.

[Hiphopopotamus]

Written by an English songwriter - no need for any American accent

[choirconflicted]

I didn't know that!

[Sentimentallentil]

Is that the one that goes ‘earthlings sleeping, sleeping calm and still’
?

I can never get over the word earthling.

[RobotGoat]

I love it! But then, I have memories of a lovely version by a professional choir; never heard it sung by school children. Maybe that would colour my perspective

[picklemepopcorn]

Sentimentali, Earth lay sleeping! The earthlings were partying wildly with the shepherds, if I remember correctly.

[DrMadelineMaxwell]

[AmysTiara]

It was my favourite song to sing when i was in primary school.

I still like it.

[choirconflicted]

Earthlings 😂😂😂

A new take on the traditional!

[Sentimentallentil]

Ahhhhhhh ‘earth lay sleeping’

Yes that makes much more sense.

(Continues to sing earthling)

When I was growing up dahn saaff it was 'King of All the Weld'.

[GrandDesespoir]

Seems to be sung in an American accent as well.

I grew up in Scotland where it always ends, "King of all the wurr-olld!"

[totaldiva]

It was my favourite song to sing when i was in primary school.

I still like it.

Mine too! I have such fond memories of it. I've been listening and singing along in the car already this year

[BaffledMummy]

I’m not a sentiment type but every time I hear it I cry. I have tried singing it as a festive lullaby to the DC a few times and ended up blubbing! What is wrong with me?! I do really love it (gets nostalgic)

[Grimmfebruary]

I prefer starry night to we three kings. I still haven't recovered from dentention 10 years ago when my friend started bellowing the well known alternative version with one on his scooter, tooting his hooter.

[frenchfancy81]

Earth lay sleeping...

[4minions]

YABU I love it, brings a tear to my eye every year.

[MaidOfStars]

Ah, I’m not religious not a carol fan but if I had to name one to be a favourite, this would be a contender.

[Ilovehamabeads]

Earthlings sleeping
Thanks for the laugh

[YouTheCat]

Our school sings it very well, with harmonies too.
