Silent Night
Hey there music lovers! Today, I want to introduce you to a timeless classic that has been warming hearts for decades. It’s none other than the beautiful song, “Silent Night,” performed by the legendary Paul Anka.
Released in 1960 as part of his album “It’s Christmas Everywhere,” this rendition of “Silent Night” has become a staple during the holiday season. Anka’s smooth and velvety voice brings a sense of warmth and nostalgia to this beloved Christmas carol.
But did you know that “Silent Night” has a fascinating composition history? It was originally written in 1818 by Franz Xaver Gruber, a schoolteacher, and Joseph Mohr, a priest. The song was composed for a Christmas Eve service in Oberndorf, Austria, and was performed with a guitar as the church organ was not working.
The meaning behind “Silent Night” is simple yet profound. It tells the story of the birth of Jesus Christ, emphasizing the peace and serenity that surrounded that holy night. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a quiet and peaceful scene, with the world hushed in awe of the newborn Savior.
Over the years, “Silent Night” has become one of the most recorded songs in history, with countless artists putting their own spin on it. However, Paul Anka’s rendition stands out for its timeless charm and heartfelt delivery.
If you’re in the mood for some holiday cheer, I highly recommend giving Paul Anka’s version of “Silent Night” a listen. It’s the perfect song to play while sipping hot cocoa by the fireplace or enjoying a cozy evening with loved ones.

Silent night! Holy night!All’s asleep, one sole light,Just the faithful and holy pair,Lovely boy-child with curly hair,Sleep in heavenly peace!Silent night! Holy night!God’s Son laughs, o how bright.Love from your holy lips shines clear,As the dawn of salvation draws near,Jesus, Lord, with your birth!Silent night! Holy night!Brought the world peace tonight,From the heavens’ golden heightShows the grace of His holy mightJesus, as man on this earth!Silent night! holy night!Where today all the mightOf His fatherly love us gracedAnd then Jesus, as brother embraced.All the peoples on earth!Silent night! Holy night!Long we hoped that He might,As our Lord, free us of wrath,Since times of our fathers He hathPromised to spare all mankind!Silent night! Holy night!Shepherds first see the sight.Told by angelic Hallelujah,Sounding everywhere, both near and far:“Christ the Savior is here!”
