Christian musicians Tommee Profitt and Crowder gave an absolutely electrifying live performance of the Christmas tune “Go Tell It on the Mountain.” This rendition of the classic, beloved song is guaranteed to be unlike any version you’ve ever heard up until now. You will need to listen and watch this clip multiple times to completely appreciate all the talent and inventiveness involved in this version.

Christmas is a time full of tunes commemorating and celebrating the season. Many of them are very familiar to us simply because they are the same every year, and there is nothing wrong with that. Classics are classic for a reason.

Despite the incredibly familiar songs, every musician seems to release covers of those tunes at some point in their career. Even then, most musicians who cover tracks like “Silent Night,” “Joy to the World,” or “Winter Wonderland” don’t change much, if anything, with their cover. They all play it extremely safe. Again, it’s okay, but it can get a bit boring.

Tommee Profitt and Crowder’s cover of “Go Tell It on The Mountain” does anything but play it safe. It’s so different and surprising that it sounds and feels like a completely new song. It’s an updated rock version of the song which celebrates the birth of the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ.

“Go, tell it on the mountain

Over the hills and everywhere

Go, tell it on the mountain

That Jesus Christ”

This cover will not be everyone’s cup of tea. It’s a massive departure from what most people are used to when it comes to “Go Tell It on the Mountain.” But at least it’s not another carbon copy of “Jingle Bells” or “O Holy Night.” Personally, I really enjoyed this version, and it will likely be one I add to my Christmas song rotation.
