The Songs Of Angels

©2016 Robert Randall Burke


I heard the Songs Of Angels
On the wings of night
A star appeared above me
And bathed the world in light
For there within a manger
I saw an awesome sight
For the King of Kings was born tonight.

I heard the songs of angels
Over Bethlehem
Songs of peace on earth they sang
And goodwill to all men
A promise for the keeping
A promise for the light
For the King of Kings was born tonight.

They sang
Emmanuel
He is with us all
Emmanuel
I heard the angels call.

I heard the Songs Of Angels
On the wings of night
A star appeared above me
And bathed the world in light
For there within a manger
I saw an awesome sight
For the King of Kings was born tonight.

Bob,

Through the years I have heard a number of newly penned Christmas songs (who wouldn't want to have a good Christmas cut?!). Very few are worthy. Most, not even close.

THIS is THE best I've ever heard. Perhaps the only "traditional" Christmas song I've heard that "works". This should be on a dozen new Christmas records. It sounds like a "classic" on first listen.

Hope you've got someone pitching this. You could live the rest of your life on the sheet music sales alone.

My thoughts exactly.... and I'd add that you have all the right skills, Bob... The right mix of time in front of audiences to know what works... the years of instrumental practice and application, and many years of experience with sequencing MIDI to get all those awesome orchestral sounds... you are the real deal! A true pro in every way!

fj,

Thanks for the kind remarks. I'm pitching this in NY, LA, London and Nashville. Had a nibble this afternoon, so maybe I'll get lucky. If it's a rejection, I'll just stuff it in the closet with all the others. grin

Hi Bob.

I always like your songs and especially the way you put your heart and soul into the vocals.

This is an exceptionally good track, despite it's strange release date!
