I have to start posting more in my blog. I go for stretches at a time when I post a lot, and then give up because I feel I have nothing to write. That must change today! I am going to start posting "Songs of the Day" again because I love music just as much as film, TV, books and food. Here we go!
River performed by Sarah McLachlan
Written by Joni Mitchell
From the album Wintersong
Sarah McLachlan is and always will be my favourite female singer. I truly noticed and listened to her for the first time when she released the song "Fallen" and I have been hooked ever since. I own all of her albums and there is no one I get more excited to go see in concert than her. Her last show was brilliant and I look forward to hearing more of her music for years to come. The original Joni Mitchell version of this song is just exquisite, and while not directly being a song about Christmas, I am glad Sarah chose to put this song on her Christmas album. She gives it more of a spiritual, earthy tone that sounds just sublime. I hope you guys enjoy it and if you can, check out the original as well and listen to the whole of Sarah McLachlan's "Wintersong" album.
