Five years after their euphonic “White Christmas” performance, father and daughter duo Mat and Savanna Chaw came together with the Rexburg Children’s Choir to sing the wintery Christmas classic “Believe.”
This music video, which came out on Youtube at the end of November to herald the winter holidays, begins with atmospheric shots of snow-dusted trees and Christmas lights as jingle bells chime.
The camera transitions to slow shots of smiling children dressed in matching white and red. As one, the children begin to sing, their voices soft and coaxing. Listening, it’s impossible not to imagine snowflakes settling gently to the ground.
As the voices around him fall silent, Mat begins to sing in the clear and vibrant baritone for which he is known. He walks in front of the grinning children, and turns, settling into a stool at the front.
In the next verse, Savanna enters, joining him at the front, and finally, the two take up the melody together, backed up by the growing strength of the Rexburg Children’s Choir.
As the song shifts again, rising into its crescendo, child and adult singers alike plea for the listener to “believe in what your heart is saying. Hear the melody that’s playing.”
