Snow still covering a few stones from our Christmas Day flakes falling like Angels from heaven...yet stars shinning brightly through the winter clouds...memories live, souls remain connected for love is eternal. Blessed and warmest wishes for our brand New Year 2011. The circle will forever remain unbroken. You all live in my heart! Many candles glowing tonight to warm us from heavens gate to the faraway shores and tallest Holy mountains...of somewhere in time. Our hearts remember! Nightingale
Real slow-burner this one, like many I got hooked from hearing it on Radcliffe and Maconie show on December 22nd, driving back from Teesside. Incredible harmonies
I was looking for scenes from the Maxwell Anderson play WINTERSET, and instead I found Rachel Unthank and The Winterset. Never heard of them before, but after listening to just a couple of songs, I'm hooked. It's beautiful music! Lovely harmony. Talented ladies, particularly when they sing a cappella. Best wishes from New Jersey, U.S.A.
I love it. Also heard it on Rad & Mac R2 show. With all this snow, this song warms the cockles of my heart. If it's not too late, Happy New Year to everyone.
Brilliant! I only saw the Unthanks for the first time ever on LWJH last night. I can only compare them to Lindisfarne and some of Jethro Tull. Thanks for the posting. The photos are excellent too and nicely convey the sense of the song.
great voices in a wrong but right harmony if you get me. they are off but it works. hitting black keys with wonderful precision and heart. love this track
dan maitland I'll see if I can send you the dots. A little choir of mine sang it at a wassailing a while ago. Our tenor was from the North East so sounded authentic.
I love the Unthank's music I thank my daughter for pointing me to this.

My heart swells in my chest when I hear these harmonies! Sob sob...
so wonderful to hear this,..... a feeling of belonging , back in the nostalgic memories of winters past in my childhood....
This kind of music in one form or another has been sung in England for probably thousands of years, kind of haunting when you think of the history.
Heartfelt song and in a beautiful place the Dale's my favourite 😊
wooooooooooooooow this is .... i cant stop cryin ...
Saw the sisters on tv last night. I can't believe that I had never heard of them. They sing so well.....and what harmonies. Absolutely brilliant !
Simply beautiful, like the area in which the song is set and where I am fortunate to live..
Evocative beautiful heartfelt........ a perfect seasonal song....... it makes me cry.

remember hearing this live on the show. had tears in my eyes. kind of awkward. I was at work at the time.
Unspeakably beautiful ...
Love it!
Most unusual ... I love it. Splendid harmony. Greetings to one and all from Big Hugh of Mundlimup in wonderful Western Australia.
beautiful.
Had to listen to this at the perfect time , three hours into New Years Day 2010. Happy New Year everyone ! x
haunting and beautiful, ... echoes of Laurie Anderson's "o superman"
I find Becky Unthank's voice wonderful and rich. Not that I dislike Rachel's. But together like this they sound fantastic!
Great song, Thanks for posting, Have a happy new year.
Wonderful and charming, a real winter warmer. Makes the nights that little bit shorter.
This is stunning
Love..

@maddalicex sat listening to this over the new year and can't find the words to explain how it makes me feel, powerful song!
This is so cool, thanks!
great voices in a wrong but right harmony if you get me.
they are off but it works. hitting black keys with wonderful precision and heart. love this track
@MrSupermonkeynova Not on an album,has just been released on itunes as part of a package that includes 'Lucky Gilchrist'.
And now of course on the Archive Treasures 2005-2015 CD; just in case anybody should happen along who still isn't aware of it. 😎😎😎
It's not on Cruel Sister but they have been performing it live recently.
Written by Rachel and Becky's dad.
Now this is more like it. Get rid of all that backing and we can hear what you really sound like. Beautifully recorded.
I see that the one critical comment was deleted -wanted to check the correct title
my choir fancy a go at this.. is there a score anywhere?
dan maitland I'll see if I can send you the dots. A little choir of mine sang it at a wassailing a while ago. Our tenor was from the North East so sounded authentic.
beautiful :)
Where are the pictures from?
@gatheringsamphire Yes - you are the only one.
@gatheringsamphire Oh well.
