Coventry Carol (trad.) arranged & performed by Christopher O'Riley 12_26

My Irish dark side prefers this most somber tune commemorating King Herod’s ordered Massacre of the Innocents upon receiving the news of Jesus Christ’s birth. Apt that Hanukah and Christmas are celebrated on the same day this year, a reminder of our common suffering for faith. Maggie Hirsch told me once that the Jewish holy days are all essentially variations on, “They tried to kill us, we surv...

    Wow! Loved this! Great that you are expanding to video like this. Did you use those "Dream" apps from TH-cam? I'll be looking into those, I've only played with FarPlay and another one. Really clean green screen edit - was that the Dream Screen?

    I have listened to your music more than perhaps any other musician ever. I fell in love with your lush arrangements of Radiohead songs when your first album of them came out, and since then they have accompanied me during quiet, pensive mornings and long road trip stretches and evenings with friends. I truly love your music. Your arrangements are stunning and wildly beautiful, and your performances are full of such reverence and heart. Thank you for all that you do, Christopher.

    Christopher - I discovered True Love Waits in a Borders Books & Music store in 2004. I fell heads over heels in love. I listened to the whole album - and especially this song - over and over. What you do at the climax is breathtaking. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. It’s an honor to see you play and think back on those moments with my headphones on - 20 years ago.

    This brings me back to high school in the early 2000s. We had just returned from winter break and it’s the dead of winter. On this particular morning, I was in study hall reading the Diary of Anne Frank listening to Chris’s version of Motion Picture Soundtrack on my brand new iPod video. Study hall was located in our cafeteria - a large room filled with these big round greenish tables that could seat about 8 kids, and yet we all sat alone. I’m a terrible reader, so I needed a quick break and peaked out the wall sized windows l. It must have been about 7:30 am and all I could see was a singular light post illuminating the black with a flurry of snow coming down. An overwhelming sadness washed over me. To this day, Motion Picture Soundtrack is probably my favorite song, both Thom and Chris’s version and I will never forget that moment
