Imagine reading a book while you’re sitting in a coffee shop and suddenly - you hear an amazingly beautiful song. If a simply beautiful thing like this happens to you, you’re having one of the wonderful days of your life. Now imagine that the book you’re reading is your favorite book, the coffee shop is Starbucks and the song is Tori Amos’ rendition of Star of Wonder. You’ll feel that you’re in heaven for a moment. This scene actually happened to me on a Sunday afternoon and I really felt that I was in heaven at that moment. Tori Amos' angelic voice makes me feel that way when I hear it. I was actually reading a horror book (Stephen King's Nightmares & Dreamscapes) on that Sunday afternoon and it frightened me a little. But her voice soothed me and took away my fright when I heard the said song. Her voice soothed me like a mother would soothe her child who got scared by a bad dream. That's how powerful her voice is. It is the kind of voice that brings heavenly comfort.
Here’s Tori Amos’ mesmerizing rendition of the famous Christmas song.
Lovely, isn’t it? It makes you feel that Christmas is already in the air. :)
This song has such beautiful, beautiful lyrics!
We three kings are coming again
Bearing gifts from the East
From the East
Some say a star will rise again
In the hearts of humankind
Some say we have been in exile
What we need is solar fire
Star of wonder, star of night
Star of royal beauty
Westward leading, still proceeding
A star
A star of wonder
We bring gold and myrrh for him
From the East, frankincense
From the East
Some say a star will rise again
In the hearts of humankind
Some say we have been in exile
What we need is solar fire
Star of wonder, star of night
Star of royal beauty
Westward leading, still proceeding
A star
Star of wonder, star of night
Star of royal beauty
Westward leading, still proceeding
A star
A star of wonder
Of wonder
