Light A Candle
JULIE MAE HALES
LIGHT A CANDLE
FOR THOSE NEW TO MUSIC WITH A CLASSICAL STYLE AND WANTING TO GET INTO THIS GENRE THEN LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THIS ALBUM.
1, THE BLESSING, OPENS WITH PIANO AND VIOLIN IN A VERY CLASSIC STYLE AND THEN JULIE OPENS HER VOICE IN THIS SLOW ALMOST BALLAD CLASSICAL CROSS OVER. I COULD DANCE TO THIS WITH A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN MY ARMS IT IS THAT SORT OF SONG.
2, PIRATE SHIP, HAS A DIFFERENT STYLE OF OPENING WITH HARP AND WITH JULIES GENTLE VOCALS ON THIS TRACK ARE MORE BALLAD ALL THAT IS MISSING IN MY OPINION IS A BODHRAN PLAYING GENTLY IN THE BACKGROUND.
3, FREE LIKE A BIRD, IS ANOTHER THAT OPENS WITH PIANO BUT THIS TRACK IS THE ONE FOR ME THAT BRINGS IN THE CROSS OVER INTO OTHER GENRES AS THE LYRICS ARE MORE POP SONG THAN CLASSICAL AND JULIE SINGS THIS WITH THE PASSION OF SOME ONE FREE FROM A BAD RELATIONSHIP.
4, WONDEROUS LOVE, OPENS WITH A MELANCHOLIC VIOLIN AND PIANO, ALSO JULIES VOCALS ARE A TAD MELANCHOLIC BUT PASSIONATE IS THIS SONG ABOUT A LOVER IN HER LIFE OR JUST THE LOVE OF LIFE?
5, INNER STRENGTH, AS IN A LOT OF THE TRACKS ON THIS ALBUM IT STARTS WITH PIANO AND VIOLIN AND IN THIS THERE IS A HINT HAVING A STRONG FAITH WHICH GIVES YOU THIS INNER STRENGTH.
6, WANTED , WHAT CAN I SAY BUT JUST A NICE SIMPLE SONG WITH THE PIANO AND VIOLIN PROVIDING AN EASY BACK GROUND TO THE DULCET TONES OF JULIE.
7, LIGHT A CANDLE, THE TITLE TRACK THIS IN MY OPINION IS ANOTHER SONG WHICH HAS A FAITH MESSAGE WITH STRONG PIANO FROM JORDAN CORBIN THIS IS SIMPLY A BEAUTIFUL SONG.
8, LOVE NEVER DIES, THIS IS AN ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER & GLEN SLATER SONG TAKEN FROM THE MUSICAL OF THE SAME NAME BUT BEAUTIFUL DONE BY JULIE. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO LOVE MUSICAL THEATRE THIS ONE IS FOR YOU.
9, GOING HOME, SOME WILL KNOW THIS AS A CHRISTIAN HYMN BUT WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT LET THIS PUT YOU OFF THE BEAUTIFUL WAY THAT JULIE SINGS WITH PASSION ON THIS SONG IT IS SIMPLY A HUG WITH JULIES VOICE PROVIDING THE HUG AND SUCH A GENTLE HUG.
10, MY INSPIRATION, AND LAST BUT BY NO MEANS THE LEAST THE AWESOME PIANO OF JORDAN AND VIOLINS OF VICTORIA PETERSON AND SHARYN PETERSON AND THE VOCALS OF JULIE ALLOW THIS THE FINAL TRACK TO FLOW LIKE A SUMMERS BREEZE ACROSS YOUR MIND AND LEAVES YOU WANTING MORE, BUT DEAR LISTENER YOU WILL HAVE TO EITHER PLAY THE WHOLE ALBUM AGAIN OR WAIT FOR HER NEXT ALBUM, ALL IN ALL ONE AMAZING.
