    Once again, thank you so much for your support guys! I really appreciate your kind words and engagement ❤ I have also just released an original song with some visuals, it would mean the world to me if you could check it out. I have put my heart and soul into it and would really appreciate it if you could have a listen and let me know what you think :) ua-cam.com/video/yI0ZS7PI34k/v-deo.html&ab_channel=AaronFross

    My daughter would have been 31 yesterday. We watched every LOR and Hobbit movie together, and whenever I’m feeling particularly down I listen to this song. Your rendition is absolutely amazing, I wish she could have heard it, she would absolutely love it. Thank you so much, your voice fills my heart with joy and brings back so many wonderful memories of her and our time together.

    • @mariusbendiksen163
      @mariusbendiksen163 2 роки тому

      Some parts were better, which is great. The quality was less consistent, which is to be expected given how long Lennox has been singing for a living. There were no bad parts and no failures (overreaching etc). That’s amazing. I think using the fullness of your lower range even more would work very well for this song; Lennox gets deep, but with a less bodied voice on the low end, which is an area you’re doing better than the original (it works well for this song).
      Hope that’s useful and constructive.

It was like being hit by lightning ⚡, I ended up in tears.I must of listened to that portion of the video more than 50 times.

    Your voice was made to sing a song so beautiful as this. Your range and control is so perfect.
    With a voice like yours, I have to believe that angels really do live among us here on earth.
    I hope your singing career takes you where you want to go, and I hope that you can keep both feet on the ground. All the best.

    From the first time I heard you sing this, my heart was moved to its very depths. I imagine Divine Mother singing to me and it brings me home to her embrace. This song and music like this is your lane; it puts you in the "pocket" which is another way for saying in touch with Spirit. You sing with such sweetness and sincerity, and yet with such force and an open heart. Thank you for this beautiful song (one of my all-time favorites) and keep singing music like this from that wonderful heart of yours! 😇💖💖💖
