"Deilig er Jorden" Geir sings a Christmas song

[Geir]

A Christmas song that has a long tradition in Norway, and is very often used as the final song for xmas concerts

This is my humble version of it ... just one voice and some guitars.

Well done Geir, I really enjoyed this, although I didnt understand a word, Thanks for sharing, and a Very Merry Christmas to you and your Family...

Very nice performance, Geir! Enjoyed it a lot!!

I'm familiar with the Finnish version ("Land is so beautiful") - one of the most beautiful and serene Christmas song, imo...

[Oldrottenhead]

geir when it's just your voice and guitar, you can make grown men weep.

i have just listened to your version of dear prudence and that knocked me off my feet.

but this one? i don't even know what you are singing about but i am moved to tears by how powerful your voice is.

fabulous.

lost for words now.

[Hook]

Powerful voice is right.my brother this is a wonderful recording & performance. I think my favorite tunes here are the ones in languages I don't understand. Something about how the emotion is translated through melody and tone really moves me. It the same thing with why & how I enjoy opera.
Marvelous Geir, I am a fan!
Rock on & Merry Christmas!

[Jarle]

I had to listen to this Geir. It is one of my favorite Christmas songs, although I'm not sure about how I feel about lyrics...

But this really touched me. You gave the song an edge. ( I don't know if that makes sense?)

[cuthbert]

There is such power here...in your voice as well as the direct and clean production.

Gonna click play again.

Wow - this is super. I don't understand a single word of it, but this is sung with such intensity and passion, it draws you in. An excellent listen, great performance - thanks for posting.

This is a lovely tune and performed so well. I'm sad to say I don't believe I've heard it before. Happy holidays.
