about

Recorded in our living room with 17 friends and family in the autumn of 2011. We didn't grow up with this hymn tune, but it's becoming one of our favorites. The lyrics are by the English poet Christina Georgina Rossetti - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christina_Rossetti

The melody is by Gustav Holst. The photo is by Micah Taylor - micahtaylor.com

lyrics

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
in the bleak midwinter, long ago.

Heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain;
heav'n and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign;
in the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
the Lord God almighty, Jesus Christ.

What can I give him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd I would bring a lamb;
if I were a wise man I would do my part;
yet what I can I give him - give my heart.

about

Since June of 2000, Aimee and Joel have been making music together. Their first CD was completed in 2003. Recorded at a farm ... more house in Wisconsin, it is a caffeinated, folk-rock blend of songs that have shown their durability as the duo traveled with them over 450,000 miles of highways. With a new home in Minneapolis, Tangled Blue recorded "Advent" in 2008 and will finish a third project this year. less
