in the bleak midwinter

68beautiful_night_wallpa

never had i heard this song until victoria. i have to admit that this is now one of my favorite christmas songs. i recorded this song on the second take. it's raw, unedited, and lacking that extra something because.....it will be perfected for the cd!

i'm definitely not the first one in the world to expose my talent, but for some reason this song is different. i normally can't STAND to hear myself like any normal person, but i want to share it because of the feelings that even I GET when i hear the song. when victoria and i recorded "In the Bleak midwinter", i think i can vouch for her that we both felt something powerful. now, i have recorded and sang with victoria since i was 15 or 16. i have sang tons of songs, and with the exception of "Evening Lullaby," I have never been moved by a song like I have with this one.

i'm giving a little sample for all of you who won't buy the cd because you haven't heard any songs. it may be a little early for christmas songs, but i don't think you'll mind.

Rach, you are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! We have had your song on repeat for the last 2 hours. I am in heaven listening to it. We have a children's Christmas lullaby cd with that song on it and I have always loved it...But NOTHING beats your version! Can't wait for my CD!

Angels in Celestials don't sound this good. Sara Brightman has never been this good.....Your the next "Word of Wisdom" star!

Rachel, I am so proud of you that I bought several copies! How wonderful to hear your voice....not since Oklahoma! You inherited the Ricchio voice, for sure. Papa is smiling down from heaven for you, his grandaughter with the tiny mouth! Love and blessings. Call and tell me about your hospital adventure. Did you get the H1 shot?
