it’s so quiet

Maybe it is the cold

and the snow and ice

but it’s so quiet and I can’t fill all of that emptiness

You will therefore permit me to repeat, emphatically, that Marley was as dead as a doornail.”
― Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

And with that here are some haunting versions of some Christmas carols as performed by Midnight Syndicate:
