You might need to stop and replay that one a few times.<\/p>\n<p>Sufjan Stephen&#8217;s 10-disc Christmas album is absolutely bizarre and not recommended. There are a few gems though. Make sure you listen to the volume 8 version of this song. The other one is terrible.<\/p>\n<p>The Coldplay song is not bad, really.<\/p>\n<p>There are about 30 brass quintet versions of O Come O Come Emmanuel and I&#8217;ve heard many of them and performed several. This is, without question, the very best one. And no, it&#8217;s not on iTunes so good luck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alright, here is my attempt at an Advent playlist (not a Christmas one).
