Libera Dreams

Can you make snowballs out of artificial snow? Probably not, so painting a ball white is a reasonable substitute.

When I first heard this song I thought of those cheesy claymation Christmas specials my kids loved so much (and forced the whole family to watch) when they were young. It goes well with the video though.

I reckon it's a tennis ball covered in cotton wool. The damn song is growing on me

I sort of played it down a little, but I think the song is growing on me a little also. We will see, Not got to the point of putting it on my IPhone with my Christmas selection yet.

It's an ear-worm, that's what it is. I've got a love-hate relationship with it right now. I think I'll make this song a guilty once-or-twice-a-year-at-Christmas treat.

A making of video

According to this tweet, it's being played over the music system at Grand Central Terminal (New York)

Still think it's a lovely song. And this behind the scenes video made me remember both the song and the video. So wonderfully made.

And yeah, there's nothing like being in a beautifully lit building listening to Libera through the speakers...

Some Christmas songs appeal more to adults; others are more popular with children. A few are enjoyed by both audiences.

There are many songs that I listened to as a boy that would never make it onto my iPod today. Songs such as Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Jingle Bells. Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Frosty the Snowman, The 12 Days of Christmas.

Most of Libera’s Christmas repertoire is geared towards an adult audience. So what’s wrong with slipping in a song with kid appeal like Santa Will Find You once in a while?

Love that they are reading the Financial Times!

It looks like they had fun making the music video too. It is good that they are putting new content up on their YouTube channel to keep fans engaged especially with the much anticipated new album that is supposedly in store.

I love this song.

I love how it sounds, how it's arranged, how well it's performed, and the message that it conveys.

It's interesting to go back and read all the comments we posted a year ago when the video was released.

I just watched the official video again on YouTube. I think that Ben Crawley was the director for the video and it really is wonderfully done.

Really, if it doesn’t leave you smiling, well, bah humbug on you.
