Thinking About Christina
In 12th century Belgium, at the funeral of a young shepherd girl, a miracle took place. Instead of passing on to heaven she chose to return and spend the rest of her long life making penance to earn the freedom of souls held in purgatory. In her time she lived wild and homeless, was imprisoned, and finally took refuge in a monastery. Learned men and royalty respected and sought her wisdom. But the most astonishing thing about Saint Christina The Astonishing was that she could levitate high above the stench of this sinful world.
I love the evocative way you bend notes when describing flying/rising. The music is part of the story, rather than just accompanying it.
Beautifully unusual.
First of all …. YOUR VOICE!!! I am enchanted. And then, the song is beautiful.
I loved that Kris. Suits your singing style perfectly. The guitar floated along nicely and I with it✌️🌻😁
Lovely Kris. Beautiful ethereal quality. Love your style.
A beautiful story Kris. I’m sure I’ve said it before but I love your vocals and that’s a lovely bright guitar sound. Great stuff
What a story! Such a great idea for a song. Really enjoyed that Kris
This is very good Kris.
Good on so many levels.
Reminds me of Dory Previn.
You should check her out if you’ve not heard her.
I think this song is enchanting and your voice is beautiful.
Lovely, well sung and played
Your charming and distinctive vocal style and guitar perfect match the lyrics – well done Kris.
Very atmospheric – guitar and vocal are lovely on this.
I like your voice at the best times, but this is sublime, and it so fits the narrative as it swirls and falls in all the right places. Reminds me of Mary Margaret O’Hara. I used to work in Catholic book publisher (even though I don’t have faith) and this brought back memories of some of the saints and their works, so thanks!
Wow Kris, so well written and performed well done x
You’ve chosen a fascinating subject, Kris, and your unique style suits her story perfectly. I love the other-worldly atmosphere you create.
Atmospheric with lots of space and which is a perfect mirror to the subject you’ve described lyrically. Really interesting choice of character – I’ve learned something new! (Again)
The story is new to me. I really enjoyed this Kris. The melody and guitar accompaniment really suits the subject matter.
