Song of the Day: O Christmas Tree

The song of the day for Monday, December 24, 2018, is “O Christmas Tree.”

About This Song

Also known as “O Tannenbaum,” this song is based on a 16th-century German folk song. Originally, the lyric was not specifically about Christmas, but about the “evergreen” qualities of the fir tree and dealt with faithless love.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded “O Christmas Tree” for the 2008 album A Swingin’ Christmas. The song was arranged by Lee Musiker, who played the piano for this recording.
