Under the Winter Sky

A warm Christmas ballad in 3/4 time – written and produced by No Wonder Music (Karin & Alexander Engelbrecht) in Hof / Bavaria.

The song feels like a short movie: snow is falling, candles glow in warmest light, families gather and stories are told while the night sky slowly fills with stars. Musically it’s a gentle pop-orchestral waltz in G major with piano and acoustic guitar at its heart, wrapped in strings, sleigh bells and a choir lift in the final chorus.

Lyrics of “Under the Winter Sky”

Classic Christmas storytelling with a modern, cinematic sound. Written 28 October 2025 in Hof / Bavaria · Music & text by No-Wonder.info – K&A Engelbrecht.

Verse 1
Snow is falling, soft and white, Candles glow in warmest light. Children laughing, bells that ring, Joy is in the songs we sing.
Setting the scene: snow, candlelight, children and music – the classic opening of a Christmas movie.
Chorus
Under the winter sky so clear, Hearts are warm, there is no fear.
Peace and love, they never die, We’re together — under the winter sky.
Verse 2
Fires burning, stories told, Dreams of silver, stars of gold. Families gather, time stands still, Christmas lights on every hill.
The camera moves closer: fireplaces, stories, glowing hills – time slows down, only this night matters.
Under the winter sky so clear, Hearts are warm, there is no fear. Peace and love, they never die, We’re together — under the winter sky.
Bridge
Hear the choir through the night, Singing hope in gentle light. Hold your loved ones, don’t ask why, Love’s the gift that never dies.
Emotional peak: the choir enters, the message turns universal – love as the gift that stays.
Final Chorus
Under the winter sky so clear, Hearts are warm, there is no fear.
Peace and love, they never die, Forever shining — under the winter sky.
