[00:00.771]1. There was a kid called Joseph
[00:04.219]He'd been dealt a bad hand
[00:08.085]Was born poor and a bastard
[00:10.540]But grew up to be a preacher
[00:12.238]Made a new friend called Franz
[00:15.817]Joe went over to Franz house
[00:19.474]Said: see this poem I once wrote
[00:23.549]I feel like it's got something
[00:25.953]Can you please put some music
[00:28.382]To my words
[00:31.412]Looking down at the paper
[00:34.181]And the title read: Silent Night
[00:42.671]
[00:45.780]2. The first time they performed it
[00:49.332]It was Christmas Eve
[00:53.773]They sang it together
[00:55.602]Franz plaved the guitar
[00:57.300]I can see them before me
[01:01.192]And this big shot organ builder
[01:05.084]Fell in love with the song
[01:09.002]Brought it back to his home town
[01:11.223]Where some folk singers heard it
[01:12.816]And they spread it around
[01:17.597]Slightly changed
[01:19.033]each time it was sung,
[01:20.705]was
[01:23.422]Silent Night
[01:30.292]
[01:31.415]When I'm down I just think about it
[01:34.759]How they must have felt when they performed it
[01:38.730]If the choir cried when they sang it
[01:42.570]If anyone in the church that day said
[01:46.331]Well I like the older stuff better
[01:50.119]They should do more upbeat tunes
[01:54.194]It could have been a day like any other day
[01:57.538]Where Joseph would be preachin
[01:59.863]and Franz would be playin
[02:01.953]9 out of10 days are slightly disappointing
[02:05.401]But on the tenth, you see that light beckoning
[02:09.476]They had no idea Silent Night
[02:12.898]would turn out to be
[02:15.745]Silent Night.
[02:22.067]
[02:24.522]Sing it with me.
[02:25.724]Let your voice carry
[02:27.187]from all those miles away.
[02:29.251]If you sing loud enough,
[02:30.452]my microphone might record you
[02:34.397]might record you
[02:39.830]Silent Night
[02:43.905]Only Night
[02:47.667]Slient Night
[02:51.637]Only Night
[02:55.634]Slient Night
[02:59.657]Only Night
[03:03.732]Slient Night
[03:07.677]Only Night
[03:11.569]
[03:12.666]3. In World War One, 1914
[03:20.764]Because it was Christmas,
[03:22.488]there was a short truce on the battle field
[03:28.313]Both sides laid own their weapons,
[03:32.336]sang carols in the night.
[03:36.855]And the day after,
[03:38.423]like nothing had happened,
[03:40.277]they continued the fight.
[03:44.875]There was only one song
[03:46.913]known to soldiers on both sides.
[03:52.529]And for a second
[03:54.410]All was calm, and all was bright.
