New Christmas recordings

The Innocence Mission have released for download two new Christmas recordings as well as all of their previous Christmas demos in what now will be known as an EP called, Seven Christmas Songs. The first track is "See Amid the Winter's Snow" and the second, is "O Come, O Come Emmanuel". "O Lord Of Light" also appears on their EP, Christ Is My Hope.

Be sure to download these before the conclusion of the holidays, as the band typically removes them.

When I first learned of the AHA video, I was under the impression it was never released because to my knowledge it had never aired on MTV unlike all of the other videos. It may or may not have aired locally or nationally, however it was distributed. Today, I purchased a copy of Alternavision #21 from Concrete Corner Marketing, which so far to my knowledge, is the only released version of the video.

Four compilations added

Four new compilations have been added to the discography. First are two releases from 2008, Women Voices III which includes "Moon River" and The Very Best of Easy Listening Hits (Volume 2) which includes The Innocence Mission's rendition of "Edelweiss". Also added are two 2001 releases Makea Jazz which sports two tracks, "Mile-Marker" and their version of "Over The Rainbow". And finally, "Happy Birthday" appears on on Happy Birthday Bob which was found on a compilation CD in a recent issue of Uncut Magazine

Lyrics...TTRG & "Do You See My Brothers Coming?"

For the good or the bad depending on your point of view, it would seem that over the years I never realized that I had forgotten to include the actual link to the Tending The Rose Garden lyrics. They had been uploaded to the site, but the link was not available. That has now been corrected.



Secondly, Karen has posted the lyrics to "Do You See My Brothers Coming?" on their website along with a stream of the song. If you've never heard it, be sure to check it out. The song can be purchased on the French release of We Walked In Song through the Fargo Store.
