O Come, O Come, Emmanuel // Complete Unplugged

An Advent hymn from the perspective of an exiled people, performed in its entirety and recorded/filmed in one take.

Originally in Latin, this 12th Century hymn has seven beautiful verses that tell a story of who God is, what He's done for His people before, and what we know and hope that He will do in the future. Big eschatological tension moment, if you know what I mean. Merry Christmas, and may Christ be with you as we celebrate His first coming and anticipate the second! --Nico

Arranged by Nicolas Vivanco with some help from Keegan :) Audio was recorded with one microphone and two voice memos, then produced by Nicolas; video filmed on Keegan's phone and edited also by Nicolas.
