These lyrics remind me of a story about "The Little Match Girl", which I read to my baby girl decades ago. I don't know, but, I think that all babies and small innocent ones go directly to the King of Kings the moment of passage...death of the flesh. Pray for the peace of Yerusalem, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, will...someday , enter the Eastern Gate of the Holy City. It is His destiny. + + +
As an atheist death metal fan, this is a beautiful song. Someone played this song about 5 years ago and it stuck with me, and I simply love it and get the urge to hear it a couple of times a year. The message, i'm not even sure what it is, looks like a bunch of biblical crap, but she's got a hell of a voice.
Hey there mate, the message of the song is two stories, she is singing about a simple homeless child living in Dublin, Ireland in 1842 dreaming of a more hopeful future. While in between, the voice of a child is telling the nativity story of the birth of Jesus. A beautiful juxtaposition of themes in the eye of this beholder.
Thanks for visiting! I too enjoy the song, always have.
I have always tried since she made it to post it around Christmas/Yule. I have always felt the child's voice is as much a part of it's special meaning as any other part of it.
No body was pulling the 'wool' over his eyes in it were they? He knew what that Herod was up to!
Seriously, I love the song, and of course I love Loreena McKennitt, such an incredible singer.
Merry Christmas Special Lady! Sorry I am just getting back around. My computer crashed and the tower just too far to climb for one who has not mastered the gift of walking yet.....but I am getting stronger every day. Santa did leave an early gift "BUT" I have lost so much *Bangs Head* and I have no desire to use Vista. I hope the Christmas Season finds you in good health. Beautiful Video Reba! May the Christmas Magick find and keep you in its grasp..Love Misty

This reminds me less of christianity and more of pagan beliefs.

This is a very interesting unusual song. I'm even glad that there's lyrics. Especially since there's a girl with a very heavy Irish accent.

Winter Solstice Blessings~
On this day, cold, dank and dreary, be still breathe in the air, nearing again the Oaken King, while Spring doth rest her head...
It all goes by in the blink of an eye, rest in this and know, as certain as the Winter wind doth blow.
Take sustenance in knowing...
Without Winter, there could be no Spring for this is something I truly know...
Be still, breathe in the Blessings of The Ancients~

The finger on the lips equals 'shuush' or 'do not speak' . Jesus said, "Bring everything into the light."

I agree, I put the shhhhuush image there as in 'be still, listen for him, even in silence for he is everywhere'
Thank You and God/Dess Bless~
Love & Light

Me being a metal fan, I think its wierd that I get attatched to a song like this. But then again, it IS Loreena McKennitt
Who can NOT love her music?

Merry Christmas to you also sweetie!
Hate that your computer crashed, I know that feeling too. Also hate that your ankle is still hurting you so bad, life eh'
Sounds like Santa did deliver a NEW computer to you hum 'smiles' as far as Vista, this is my 2nd comp with it and I love it, would NEVER trade it off!
Dear heart, I always try my best to 'dig my heels in deep' and just keep plowing!
Glad you enjoyed the Video, it is short but cannot sit real long.
Love, Light Magick!
