Here in Spain we feel blessed with your voice and we’re still waiting your return.
So glad that I heard you in the Spanish church and have been searching for you since.Your voice is a gift to all that hear you. Bless you! Richard Price 13:00 🎉
I'm a Catholic and in our Church we just started celebrating Advent, time of joyful awaiting for Christmas. This song is used so often during these four weeks. I truly appreciate your recognition that spaces like this magnificent church were designed to be filled with beauty to glorify God. Impeccable choice of a song; your voice made it so beautiful.
As a lifelong Christian who grew up in church and Christian schools and whose family was prominent in Southern Gospel, I can wholeheartedly attest that this is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard in my life. I stumbled across it last Christmas Day alone, in my deceased mother's home. My parents were dead. My brothers were busy with their families. I felt the pent up loneliness of the holidays. And then I found this. And then later that night, a random couple sitting next to me at a red light caught my attention just to tell me God loves me and that I'm a good man. A block away from my eldest brother's family's house, I broke down and wept. Ever since, I have periodically come back to this lovely video. I love cathedrals and iconography. Sometimes, when I'm low and the dragons slither at my feet, I cue this up and listen. Your voice...thank you. If you're ever in Nashville, I owe you.
❤️
Voice of an angel on Earth
Bless you, your testimony here to God moving in your midst, is just heartwarming. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing something so personal and truly wonderful x
May you feel God’s love and presence again this year at Christmas.
@@meleshenko3767 Thank you, Mel! You as well!
Can’t imagine a whole congregation singing in a space like that . With just how much it echoed and amplified one voice
Hi Malinda. We are a British couple living 5kms from Montefrio. We have been aware of your experience here for some time. We are not Catholic’s but we are Christians and we have taken many people from as far afield as Korea, Mexico and the USA to sing in the round church, to pray and to encourage Father Emiliano.
If you come this way get in touch, we can help with arrangements and enlighten you to the larger story of a Montefrio that you are now a part of.
You did great, you’ve blessed this pueblo, thank you and God bless.
Yes! Please help Malinda glorify God!
I really hope she sees this and can get in touch with you guys!!! This would be an amazing experience for her and for EVERYONE, honestly, if this were to happen!!! Please don’t give up trying to contact her. And let me know if you need help!!
Let's get this comment known and seen!
@@thedefenestrator2994 YES
Fundraiser? Plane tickets, lodging, food and equipment all cost money.
As a Spanish person I’m pretty sure that anyone walking into the church while you were singing wouldn’t be bothered at all. Quite the contrary, they would have really appreciated your gift and probably call over their neighbours to hear you sing in their church :D
I agree she is quite gifted…
Your voice is a gift FROM and OF GOD! No one could walk into a church while you were singing and not recognize HIS Glory IN YOU! TY TY
@@Indy__isnt_itabsolutely agreed! Definitely God himself was listening the charming voice of this beautiful lady singing this soul elevating, mesmerising and heavenly song. All universe was connected with the soul of all Christianity in that particular moment. Everything was gifted by the almighty to embrace all of us in a hug of life, love, respect, friendship, peace, and united us like family or friends.
Every time I see and listen to this video mi soul and heart feels refilled with the love of god and all his creation.
God bless us all🙏🏻❤
As a Montefrio´s proud son, actually living in Germany, i have to thanks you so so much to bring me such a wonderfull video and those nice words about my small village, and thanks for making us (all people outaide there) dreaming about coming back as soon as possible.!! Thanks a lot from Germany from a random guy from Montefrio!!
🎼🎵🎶✨🌸
As a complete agnostic I have to admit every hair on my body stood out when you started to sing. And not being very sensitive I was almost moved to tears. You have a fantastic voice.
That's the Holy Spirit of God calling you. Please read the Gospel of Mark, it is the shortest one and you can read it in a short time. Ask God to speak to your innermost heart and reveal Himself to you. I am praying for you.♥️✝️
As an ex-Catholic (30 years) and now atheist (20 years), and as a musician (including choral singing) for most of my life, I don’t believe it has anything to do with a god, the holy ghost, or Jesus. Music is its own amazing magic, and those feelings can be evoked by MANY kinds of music. Churches just use them to manipulate people; if you don’t believe me, look up ex-pastors or ex-worship leaders talk in about how it’s done on purpose.
That said, the emotions and joy are REAL. The magic of the music is real and amazing.
A few days ago I was installing a hearing loop system in an Episcopal Church in Seattle. The floor was also being tiled so the space was stripped. The acoustics were very live. Once upon a time I sang in The Choir of the West from my University days, and I still have most of my voice. I started singing O Come, O Come, played with the vocal placement a bit on the long vowels for the space then did the whole piece. I kept choking up on the sound of it and that I could still do it (I'm 68). I thanked God my voice was still there and I cried at the sound of singing in the church... it was so much joy. God always speaks to me most clearly through music. I choked up too when I heard your voice.
What a beautiful voice and young woman
God wasn't speaking to you in a false sect's building
Your voice sounds like the person who read nursery rhymes on a CD that I listened to at age four to get to sleep
Lol yes like an angel lulling you to sleep
Thank you for respecting our Church and others who pray. Since you mentioned the “prayer circle”, that’s called Stations of the Cross. God bless.
That was no accident that you found yourself in that church. For me I had been scrolling through the video shorts here on RUclips that stopped me in my tracks because I at 55yo have never heard that color of sound from voice. Many of your vocal tones through the song would mesh together as they bounced off the wall so that they created an auditory illusion that I can not describe. Maybe there is a word for it. God shows us love in many ways this time you were called to for that purpose to be that in a physical form. How awesome that is
If you ever happen to travel to Pisa, Italy there is a domed building by the Leaning Tower of Pisa that has the same acoustic qualities as the church you were in. I don't know if they would let anyone sing in it but it would be well worth checking out.
This makes me think of the summer I spent in Italy, walking down a street in Rome and hearing organ music from behind a very nondescript door. I walked in as the person finished a piece and sat down. Maybe 30 seconds later, a rendition of "Ode to Joy" started that will stay with me the rest of my life. Listening to you honor this space gave me chills and full-body goosebumps. That church is now on my travel list!
Your knowledge of how sound responds to a room made this so beautiful. Seeing you wait for the room to finish was so cool to watch and hear. Looking forward to your future video with that church.
WHAT??????? IVE WATCHED THAT VIDEO A THOUSAND TIMES HOW THE HECK DID I NOT KNOW THAT WAS YOU. i cant BELIEVE the government lets u get away with being this talented smh
Lol
Where did you watch the video
When I found out it was the ‘TikTok girl’ who did the ‘Wellerman’ song I died.
@@istan9682 ive been seeing clips of that vid on tumblr for years! i started following malinda a few years ago, although after id already seen the clip a bunch of times, but i did not know it was her until this vid
The first time I saw this video on Facebook, I was like “oh my god, that’s Malinda!!” It gives me major chills and actually makes me tear up a little whenever I hear these clips.
SAME
A building like that can, with borrowed voice, sing right back at you.
Gives me shivers.
EDIT: Malinda, have you considered trying out a natural acoustic space, like a cavern, for future acoustic experiments? Could be interesting.
She's actually done this, scroll back through this channel's history a bit. It's hard to miss
Malinda: sings
Cathedral: UNO REVERSE CARD 😍
She's done it a few times!

@@brentage5000 ??? How did I miss this one. Request pre-granted! *shrug *
I’m one of those people who discovered you via that clip. I think that all of us who were so excited by it could tell that this was a magical moment happening and it was unplanned and unprepared for and captured on video and that is extremely special. I’m glad you told the story, that just makes it more interesting. I’m glad the clip went viral cause now I’m a big fan of your humor and music.
When you said that music was how you felt connected to God, that really struck me; I feel the exact same way. I go to church every week, but even the songs they sing there feel like the moment is being forced, so it's absolutely amazing to find that quiet time when it's just you, music, and God and all of the complications just fade for a minute.
Zoey Bea I wish I could go back in time to those days when I was attending churches that LOVED to sing, and teen devos that went on for far too long because of the same. I finally had a new moment here in Japan at a Brazilian church we’re going to now. It. Was. Amazing and I am so thankful for it!!! 💖🙏🏻💖🙏🏻💖
@@jpnlvr That's amazing! So glad you were able to get that experience again!
In my village, the lead singer role is jealously guarded by a retired school nurse who can't really sing. This doesn't help.
I've noticed a few thing with Church music. First, some priests tend to really care about the music. They are mostly Guitar Priests. And generally they do it well.
Next, Church songs tend to be rewritten and rearranged very often. (guitar priests do that too, generally making the note range less wide). Sometimes the rearrangement is done with no regards for how well this sounds. I've seen a song which was clearly written for 3/4 timing sung in 4/4.
Christmas carols tend to be rewritten too, sadly. These are absolute classics, and it seems our church (the one in my village I mean) avoids the classics. The ones that everyone knows well.
I've seen the Salve Regina sung (averagely) as far as possible from the Sister Act version. Needless to say, I was disappointed.
Finally, there are Psalms. Psalms are generally sung on a random, minor melody with a terrible syllable/note ratio. They are translated from hebrew, thus have unconsistent number of feet and nonexistent rhyme. There must exist a way to make them sound good, but this isn't it.
I Don't blame the choirs, however. Singing during mass is really intimidating. One time, (I was 12), I was to play piano during a psalm, and I trusted myself to do it well, since I had already done piano concerts in Church. But Under the sights of over a thousand people, I failed miserably. My grandma told me "I Don't know who played piano during the mass today, but it wasn't great!". Ouch.
I Don't know if I shouldn't be judgemental about this, I just can't help to hear it.
@@wordart_guian I totally hear you on the whole rearranging songs thing. My church will sometimes sing only half of a song or just sing the chorus over and over.
You probably don't even read these anymore but may I just say that this video of you relating this very magical moment in your life has really helped ground me during moments of upheaval in my own life. Your calming voice expressing your experience seems to ease my own anxieties and lets me escape for just a little while from the chaos trauma-drama around me and I can breathe. So, thank you.
Your dad's echoing shoe was amazing lol
Yea, the 'shoe fart' made me laugh!
Lol yes
I totally expected to see someone walk in and then encourage her to keep singing! Lol (thought it was the door...)
The specific lyrics it came between just makes it all the more wonderful
"Until the son of God appears~"
**sqeak**
"Rejoice~"
I saw you on the Spanish news, and I already knew of your channel and was a subscriber. When I saw you there I felt really proud of you for finally getting the recognition you have always deserved!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
There is a canyon in Utah called the singing canyon. Would love to hear your voice there! And thanks for talking about your religious experience too. Beyond beautiful music in a very special place!
malinda: the story of my most viral video
me: hasn't seen the video
Ditto.
Same here 😂😂
Same
Legit, been watching since the translating series and I’m not on Facebook often
Please go look at the video. Ethereal even with just the phone mike.
Your talent is by far ethereal and angelic. Dare I say, your voice is Godly?! Listening to your voice reverberate throughout the church sent chills all over me! It is because of a lady such as yourself why I’m requesting to come out of retirement and go back into active duty…I live for music and I live to defend those who express it as you do. I too, sing in a choir, but I am not anywhere in the league you’re in! You are a gift and treasure to us all…thank you for sharing with us!❤😇
I watched this video when it went viral and was floored. 6 or so months later my husband shared with me your sea shanties and I fell in love. I'm just now putting together that you are the same person. I want to say small world, but it's cooler than that. Keep doing what you love. We love it from you!!!
I hope you can undestand this in spanish:
Gracias por visitar mi país, por hablar con tanto cariño de él , y por contar una historia tan bonita.
Espero que disfrutaras el viaje.
I've watched the video so many times of her singing. It's hypnotizing.
My favorite Christmas carol is O Come Emmanuel and hearing you sing this with your acoustical partner was devine. Seems the spirit was singing back to you. I spent 3 years in Germany with the US Army and I visited many of the large churches which also large reverberation chambers and the sounds are magnificent. And coupled with your beautiful voice, the effects of you and your echo partner caused a very emotional reaction. As a Mormon, I am secure in my faith and always enjoy spiritual music. I would love to hear you sing the Wexford Carol in that church. It would be so awesome. Surely God was listening and well pleased. Thank you for the experience.
I found Malinda when her channel was still Malinda Kathleen Reese and she hadn't made a 2nd channel yet. Found her cuz of her collab with Evynne Hollens on For the First Time in Forever. I found Evynne cuz of her husband Peter. And I found Peter cuz of some friends who told me about him. So I probably never would have found Malinda if it wasn't for those friends.
Until I saw your comment, I didn't even realize she'd changed her channel name. XD
Found her through "Love is an Open Door" google translate vid.
It is like listening to an angel singing in the church. 😇🥰
your voice in that space are the most amazing combo. If i was the curator of the space i would even invite you to sing all day to your hearts content, the mesmerized crowd would be ENORMOUS.
You are amazing. They way you honour your voice, space and the awareness you have of both is incredible. There are no words. You are heaven sent. Thank you and thank God 🥰
God has blessed you with a beautiful voice. May you sing forever.
Wow! Beautiful! Can not imagine the brains that it took to design such a building with that acoustic ability. And your voice both point to God. No evolutionary need for that over abundance of brains & beauty.
Such a beautiful voice bravo, this video touched me so much because I'm a musician my self and I actually pay thousands of dollars to get these voices for recordings truly amazing I can just imagine how you felt singing in this church I've been to Italy and went to all most every church my parents took us, what an amazing voice you have bravo 👏 ❤️
I work in a church, and frankly, i would have 100% loved coming into my church and hear you sing like that. Id applaud and probably shed a happy tear at the end. Then id thank you for making my day
I just had the worst nightmare and found this video and watched it. Isn't it crazy that as a creator you can play such a huge part in others life's. You're amazing Malinda, thanks
OMG I m absolutely mesmerized by the few seconds of your singing in the church. Love it absolutely love it. please go back there again and sing full Ave Maris stella.
Watching this brings tears to my eyes and truly chokes me up. It just gets to my spirit. Crazy how it impacts me. Thank you so much for doing it, sharing it, and being who you are.
Yes! This is so powerful.
Same! And it almost never happens to me (I try to take the enjoying and smiling side and just feel it raise my spirit or mood or whatever). But this was so, SO beautiful! I had been there at the scene I probably would have fallen to my knees with my jaw on the ground (filling with tears and so being in danger of drowning on a dry land. Exxaggerating? Me? Never!)
Thanks Malinda for sharing this ❤️
@@Garbox80 Yes, YES. yes! I totally agree!
I can't thank you enough for this video. You did this beautiful church justice. I love your point about how singing is the closest you can speak to God, and that is so beautiful. As St. Augustine said "He who sings well, prays twice". I think you prayed a million times in those two minutes. The Ave Maris Stella was absolutely gorgeous (I am doing the same in choir, although I already know 2 other versions. Catholic schools, right?:) The O come, o come, Emmanuel held such a deep heaviness in this church. This church has probably been waiting for decades to hear your voice.
I would watch the heck out of a series that had you traveling to different churches around Europe and singing such songs in them! Probably not realistic, but thought I would just put it out there:)
God Bless you! Keep singing!
Malinda has the most soothing and calming voice I've ever heard. I can be having a terrible day and listen to these videos and relax.
I stumbled on the video of Malinda singing o come o come Emmanuel by accident, I was looking for an episode of the great tv show penny dreadful where a children's choir sings Veni Veni Emmanuel which had stuck in my mind for a long and I don't really know why as I am a metalhead and a massive Rush fan. but when I heard Malinda in that church it blue my mind the acoustics of the church and this young woman amazing voice created the perfect sound and it will stay with me till the day I die, and I am not too manly to say I cried and I did. Amazing.
Thank you for your singing and this story! I'm an Orthodox Christian and this was heavenly!
I found a short video of you singing in that church the other day. Today I found this one, hearing you explain how you came across this church and hearing you sing in it again in this video had me welling up with emotion. It was sooo beautiful, I am so overwhelmed with emotions, it is hard not to cry, not in sadness but in overwhelming joy.
Thank you, it was beautiful.
Literally the voice of an angel.
I know I'm super late to the conversation and it's possible you may never read this comment... I only just (as in thirty minutes ago) found you on RUclips with your Make Any Song Irish video, I haven't even seen the video you reference in this one (going there next), but I have to say the clips gave me incredible chills all over. Absolutely breathtaking!! You are a lovely person, you have a beautiful singing and speaking voice, I love your energy, you are adorable (and kinda look like a Keira Knightly sibling) and you have a new subscriber in me! :D I'm excited to watch more of your videos and hear more of your music! :)
I only just came across your video of singing in the church! Absolutely beautiful. Now I come across this video and as I listen to your respect for those in Montefreo, I have a whole new respect for you! Brava!
Angelic voice sweet lady. I am so glad I found you singing in the church. I live near the Great Smoky mountains. I love to visit Cades Cove with old churches. I go in and sing. No one lives there now. Record there one day. Tourists love this place in the Smokies. Your voice is amazing. I am 63 but still love to sing.
I have seen the clip of “Oh Come Oh Come Emmanuel” SO MANY TIMES without seeing it linked to you but it always stuns me-your voice, and the way the church expands and expresses every note.
Pure magic , wonderful ! Thank you for posting !
Imagine doing it again with a Gregorian chant backing you.
Yasss
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 I am not sure if I could handle that😱😱😱
I don't know... That might be too much. Much of the beauty was in the simplicity of the lone voice with the echo.
@@Sembazuru Gregorian chant is one voice.... In fact those churches were engineered for Gregorian chant bc that was the music of the worship
Your voice when you speak is also beautiful.
This is how I first found about Malinda and GTS from watching the church video and hearing such beautiful vocals nice to hear the back story behind it.
Honestly, I cried while listening your beautiful voice in that church. God blessed you with such an amazing gift, and I'm so grateful that you share it with the world. Thank you, beautiful Malinda, you're one of the people that makes this world a nicer and more beautiful place to live. Muchas gracias, en serio
Your voice singing Emmanuel brings tears to my eyes.... beautiful ❤️
(read the second one first) To be able to sing in the angelic tones as you do is truly a gift from God. It too is a gif from God to hear someone share their gift. Thank you!!!
I can remember seeing the video of you singing on Facebook... I kept playing it over and over, because I love the sound of your voice... I just found myself thinking of the sound of your voice singing again, and that’s what brings me to this video on RUclips... You have a beautiful voice and personality... God bless you...
I’m so glad you had the time to sing my favorite Christmas hymn. Beautiful. Thank you
Not what I'd usually listen too, but your vocals are amazing, and the reverb in there is awesome! I first saw you on the ten second songs colab, I was absolutely stunned by your vocal skills when I saw those videos, and you're a nice piece of eye candy too which is an added bonus!
It is very hard for me to find any sort of music that touches me in such a way as I start to cry. These clips of you singing in the church, brought me to tears with their beauty, and it was sudden too!!! Truly magic still exists in the world!
Your angelic voice in that amazing church was very special. The fact that you were dressed casual with your hair up and not "perfect" made even more special. That was a very beautiful moment in every way.
This is such a beautiful story. (It also makes me wonder/hope if you'd record a full version of O Come Emmanuel?? It's one of my favorite Christmas songs
Yassss ❤️
Yes, please?
As a Catholic, I found that video that went viral absolutely stunning and deeply touching. Unfortunately, the Catholic Church is in deep turmoil with scandals and a heartbreaking rejection of our artistic tradition. For the past 50 years or so we've almost thrown away most of the Gregorian Chant to the point where the vast majority of Catholic Churches do not use them anymore. You are so lucky to get to learn those hymns like Ave Maris Stella and others that our own hierarchy often rejects.
Also one thing I would encourage you to do is look into the teachings of the Catholic Church from faithful Catholic institutions. That is REALLY important. I can't even listen to non-Catholics talk about Catholicism because they never get it right. We have had a lot of horrible men in our ranks, but the miracle is that despite the scandals and blotches on our history is that the Theology and Dogmas have remained pure. Catholicism is so SO beautiful, deeply Biblical, logical, profound, mysterious, and glorious. When lived out how it is supposed to be lived out, it brings total intamacy with Christ. It is definitely worth looking into. You might be completely surprised by what you find! God bless!
I've never been a believer in the whole ASMR thing, but as soon as you began singing with the reverberations, I got a weird tingling across the back of my scalp.
Thank you for sharing your talent with the world.
Frisson as a response to music actually predates the concept of ASMR. It's talked about in classical texts. So you've gotten your connection with the past as well.
Thank you for the extra context. I know what I was feeling watching you sing in the church. I put myself in your shoes and had such a clear understanding of what it was you were seeing and especially feeling. And literally feeling with the reverberations of your own voice coming back at you and going through you. What it must have sounded like in real life. Wow. What an amazing experience. Thank you for all of it! Cheers
You know you're giving a RUclipsr a piece of your heart when you like her/his video before seeing it
I hadn't seen these videos. I found you from the 10 second man and stayed for the song with your highest and lowest notes which is gorgeous, I play it on repeat often.
Your voice during O come O come Emanuel and that churches acoustics were absolutely amazing!
I saw the o come o come Emmanuel video on tumblr and didn't recognise you at all. I kinda teared up while watching it and teared up again just now. Idk why
SAME. id watched it a million times and thought "damn, i wish i lived in a world where i could just walk into a church and start taking advantage of the acoustics. also this girl is gorgeous. i wonder how she's doing." which is, i know, a bit too sentimental for a video that just crosses ur dash every once in a while. BUT my brain BROKE when this video came out! its been malinda kathleen reese all along and ive been bamboozled.
@@k.whatever9046 exactly
That video is how I found you and I’m so glad I did. You have a wonderful voice and personality. I love when you post new videos it makes my day.
Love your vocabulary, eloquent. Your voice is Angelic, and the podcast clarity is perfect. Well done!
Being so humble and worried shows to me a very respectful mind not only to religion but also to being a guest in a foreign country and a visitor to another ones home. Your share of your gift in a spontaneous moment is a blessing. Thank you.
Isn't it amazing that some of our best experiences happen by accident?
I love to hear you talking and singing. I see you as my gran daughter. You brought me memories of my life when I was a teenager, singing Irish songs with a northamerican friend who also had a great voice. Thanks for sharing. Congratulations from Santiago, Chile.
Love your story! It reminds me of an old dear friend of mine who walked the Camino de Santiago...a pilgrimage that starts in Southern France, and ends in western Spain, in Santiago. She came across some really beautiful cathedrals and what-not on her journey. In fact, she did the Camino twice, and the second one started in Portugal...There's a really good movie called The Way, that is about this hike, or pilgrimage, and everyone has their own reasons or mission to do the Camino, and most people come out with a different perspective and meaningful message. Anyways, thanks for your awesome story!
You have a voice of an angel 😇 thank you for that warm fuzzy feeling and you made a 55 year old burly man cry may God bless you and your family
As a musician and music teacher, I admire your vocal talent, but the truly extraordinary thing is the sheer joy on your face as you sang. I consider myself lucky to have come across this video. Thank you!
Malinda- that video, the vocals, the setting, gave me goosebumps. Beautiful voice in that setting, gosh, I can't wait to hear the CD when you release it!!! Seriously, you have an incredible voice. I did a marathon of your video's, and the one of you in the church, well, that made 1st place. Keep on doing what you're doing. It's a peaceful touch, in such a messed up world! I'll keep listening from here, Port Angeles, WA.
That is one of the many things I live about certain old churches, the reverbs sound like ancient songs depending on what you sing even if it is modern. It just sounds like something that you would hear in a fantasy game or movie which you just don't hear a lot of these days.
Malinda is a treasure. I could listen to her TALK all day.
I have goosebumps firing all over. A voice from God!
Yep. Looked you up because of this.
O Come, O Come Emmanuel has been my favorite Advent hymn since I was very young.
Moved me to tears. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you!
I'm spanish, and I saw how you went famous here, in spain. When I saw it I thought: This is the one from the translator thing!
I can't even put it to words how the video you made with that great voice of yours has touched my very being. Thank you.
Your singing voice takes me to another world we were in the past.
Young lady you are so blessed with such a gift!!! An AMAZING AWESOME VOICE!!! I saw your church video for the first time last night going through videos of my favorite song of all time... it knocked me on the floor!!!! WOW!!!! And I could see it in your face after the first verse of Emmanuel.
You look at the camera and the ceiling at the same time and you knew you just did something incredibly special and knocked it out of the park
Lovely to hear the back story of those 2 awesome videos!
Very moving to see them again...
I remember that video and fell in love with your voice. I didn't know that was you, I found you here because of your I see fire cover. now im listening to the viral video all over again, its ethereal.
First off, thank you for being you and the kind spirt you are sharing with the world. Amazing voice, great back story as i do remember when those videos went viral.
Malinda
Thanks for posting this, I never saw the original video but when I did here it made me start to cry. Beautiful rendition. Brought back memories of attending catholic mass during Christmas with my grandparents. I miss them a lot and this is one of my favourite religious songs.
Trying to wrestle with the laws of nature, the miracle of her voice in that moment and place. That heavenly choir of one voice, continues to ring out into the atmosphere and flowing beyond the thin blue line of earthly creatures.
Even the heavenly hosts stand in awe.
Oh and thank you for sharing your gift. I love when you sing Irish and Gaelic
That beautiful song to celebrate the Mother of God, is precious. The song, the voice, the place, reminds us of the father of us all. God. Bless Malinda.
You must have already been back to Monte Frio by now; what a beautiful experience you've had then! Your sweet way of contextualizing it got to take us with you to that special moment! Thank you. And by the way, I am sure nobody would ever feel offended with your singing, specially with all your sensibility in the choice of the pieces you sang: your song for sure reached Heaven!
We sang ave maris stella in school choir, but it didn't sound as cool as you! We didn't have a cathedral though. This song is wonderful.
It seems a lifetime ago that I was a Benedictine monk. Listening to you sing, I closed my eyes and was transported to the offices sung through the day in choir in plainsong and Gregorian chant. Such moments are transformative, transporting us to a dimension beyond our words or descriptors; rather, to a presence beyond the mind into an Emerson into both the moment and the majesty of the universe got at only in song and in the allusions of poetry. I first stumbled on your original video just as it went viral and have followed you since. I enthusiastically encourage you to do a performance of ancient chant in that wonderful venue, that amazing church and publish a video. In it you might consider sneaking in a Gaelic but or two in the ancient style you’ve recently featured.
Go gcloisfimid do ghuth ag beannú na n-aingeal le hamhrán!
Singing for the Lord is one of the best things for me to do too ahahha
Oh come oh come Emmanuel is such a good songgggg
You are a wonderful soul. God blessed you with such a beautiful voice. God had a wonderful smile on His face when He heard you sing and you received an unexpected surprise with your video - a large amount of people supported you and still do. It was very nice that you respected the people who were in the church, but I'm sure they would of loved to have heard you. Keep singing!!
