Imagine being that person who walked into the church and interrupted a beautiful and very self-conscious looking stranger singing a heavenly chant.
I probably would have waited outside in wonder at the angelic voice within!
I'd consider joining in.
I think the big danger would be that they wouldn't let her leave until Sunday when the whole congregation could hear her sing.
I think I would pass out
My thoughts exactly.
As a Spanish person I’m pretty sure that anyone walking into the church while you were singing wouldn’t be bothered at all. Quite the contrary, they would have really appreciated your gift and probably call over their neighbours to hear you sing in their church :D
I agree she is quite gifted…
Your voice is a gift FROM and OF GOD! No one could walk into a church while you were singing and not recognize HIS Glory IN YOU! TY TY
I'm an architect and in the moment I saw your video singing, I almost cried. The Architecture serving to the culture, art and the people is the reason why I studied this. Thanks for that small and beautiful moment you shared.
I am in awe of Sacred Architects, what a beautiful gift to the world!
Classic Shmosby :D
Dude - for some reason your sentiment here just brought a quiet tear of happiness to my eye. My wife’s grandfather was a famous architect and it was my brief relationship w him that made me appreciate the art & beauty & balance of amazing architecture.

I thought this may be of interest Oscar..
I feel you my friend!! I did cry tho...My poor little heart filled with love for achitecture, music and history couldnt take it. This is ethereal
As a Catholic it makes me really happy how respectful you were to the space and the people praying and how you sang songs that honoured where you were :) you're so wonderful and kind
I'm Catholic, too!!
@@margaretkuwata6794
Yay cool!!
I'm a former Christian now atheist. And I'm touched by how respectful she was. I believe we all have our right to believe how we choose.
And to do so in a way that is respectful to others like she has done.
I don't judge a religion by it's worst members or loudest.
Therefore, it is not the case that ignorance is a sin. But contrary to this: Nothing merits punishment except sin. But ignorance merits punishment-this according to 1 Corinthians 14:38 (“If anyone does not know, he will not be known”). Therefore, ignorance is a sin
I'm a Catholic as well! It made me very pleased to not only see how respectful she was, but to sing a Gregorian Chant in the church as well! That is not often done these days 😢
8 Billion Humans, only she walked into that church, sang this special Song in this unique way, in her way.
Isnt Gods timing perfect :) x
@@carolinewhite6010 Exactly. Couldn't have said it better.
❤😴👁️👋🌹🌈💃 merci ❗ Danke Schön 🌹 Lady 🪄 🪞 🫦 💯 💐 Belle 🎼🧘🦋💃🌈👋🎩 unbekannt ⛄🎩🎩🎩
Here in Spain we feel blessed with your voice and we’re still waiting your return.
So glad that I heard you in the Spanish church and have been searching for you since.Your voice is a gift to all that hear you. Bless you! Richard Price 13:00 🎉
I'm a Catholic and in our Church we just started celebrating Advent, time of joyful awaiting for Christmas. This song is used so often during these four weeks. I truly appreciate your recognition that spaces like this magnificent church were designed to be filled with beauty to glorify God. Impeccable choice of a song; your voice made it so beautiful.
As a complete agnostic I have to admit every hair on my body stood out when you started to sing. And not being very sensitive I was almost moved to tears. You have a fantastic voice.
That's the Holy Spirit of God calling you. Please read the Gospel of Mark, it is the shortest one and you can read it in a short time. Ask God to speak to your innermost heart and reveal Himself to you. I am praying for you.♥️✝️
As an ex-Catholic (30 years) and now atheist (20 years), and as a musician (including choral singing) for most of my life, I don’t believe it has anything to do with a god, the holy ghost, or Jesus. Music is its own amazing magic, and those feelings can be evoked by MANY kinds of music. Churches just use them to manipulate people; if you don’t believe me, look up ex-pastors or ex-worship leaders talk in about how it’s done on purpose.
That said, the emotions and joy are REAL. The magic of the music is real and amazing.
Hi Malinda. We are a British couple living 5kms from Montefrio. We have been aware of your experience here for some time. We are not Catholic’s but we are Christians and we have taken many people from as far afield as Korea, Mexico and the USA to sing in the round church, to pray and to encourage Father Emiliano.
If you come this way get in touch, we can help with arrangements and enlighten you to the larger story of a Montefrio that you are now a part of.
You did great, you’ve blessed this pueblo, thank you and God bless.
Yes! Please help Malinda glorify God!
I really hope she sees this and can get in touch with you guys!!! This would be an amazing experience for her and for EVERYONE, honestly, if this were to happen!!! Please don’t give up trying to contact her. And let me know if you need help!!
Let's get this comment known and seen!
@@thedefenestrator2994 YES
Fundraiser? Plane tickets, lodging, food and equipment all cost money.
As a lifelong Christian who grew up in church and Christian schools and whose family was prominent in Southern Gospel, I can wholeheartedly attest that this is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard in my life. I stumbled across it last Christmas Day alone, in my deceased mother's home. My parents were dead. My brothers were busy with their families. I felt the pent up loneliness of the holidays. And then I found this. And then later that night, a random couple sitting next to me at a red light caught my attention just to tell me God loves me and that I'm a good man. A block away from my eldest brother's family's house, I broke down and wept. Ever since, I have periodically come back to this lovely video. I love cathedrals and iconography. Sometimes, when I'm low and the dragons slither at my feet, I cue this up and listen. Your voice...thank you. If you're ever in Nashville, I owe you.
❤️
Voice of an angel on Earth
Bless you, your testimony here to God moving in your midst, is just heartwarming. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing something so personal and truly wonderful x
May you feel God’s love and presence again this year at Christmas.
@@meleshenko3767 Thank you, Mel! You as well!
That was absolutely a beautiful performance and you honored the space by your presence. Part of what made it so special was the fact that you clearly were not utilizing state of the art equipment and you were dressed like a tourist. It may not have had the same effect if it was a scripted and clearly a production. Our father God is above material things and you did marvelous that day with only your voice and grace. ❤
Amen ! x
So beautifully said. As you just did too.
I'm atheist, but oh my goodness, this takes me back to when I wasn't. It brings tears to my eyes. Beautiful.
Hey, I believe it's the King of glory (Jesus Christ) trying to get you back to your origin now that you are still alive, hardened not your heart cos there's no light to where you are heading to. Think.
I do think. That is why I’m an atheist.
God is given you an opportunity to turn back to him and if truly you love your soul, you will take it. Truly there's no road to where you believe you're going to rather regret.
I’d rather regret than follow a murderous, gaslighting, shallow being y’all worship.
As an agnostic I'm right there with you. Beautiful church, beautiful acoustics. There is power in mythology and good architecture.
Back where I come from there's a saying: He who sings means no harm. Even if the locals would generally frown upon tourists and/or intruders, I can't imagine anyone being offended by someone with a golden voice singing from their soul. Especially since you were polite and respectful as to not interrupt those already praying.
Now watch THIS video going viral too. :)
(Probably not though.)
I quite agree. I would cherish the moment I heard anyone singing in a church from a place of honouring the gift of voice that they were given, with such joy and love.
There are some who get children's cancer christmas fundraisers& toys for tots cancelled. The only way to defeat such malignance is with a spirit like Malinda has demonstrated.
The Bible encourages and commands us to sing.
Beautiful.....................................
As a Montefrio´s proud son, actually living in Germany, i have to thanks you so so much to bring me such a wonderfull video and those nice words about my small village, and thanks for making us (all people outaide there) dreaming about coming back as soon as possible.!! Thanks a lot from Germany from a random guy from Montefrio!!
🎼🎵🎶✨🌸
I heard a similar thing in Florence in a courtyard and i started crying, the woman’s voice was amazing. Keep singing god bless.
A few days ago I was installing a hearing loop system in an Episcopal Church in Seattle. The floor was also being tiled so the space was stripped. The acoustics were very live. Once upon a time I sang in The Choir of the West from my University days, and I still have most of my voice. I started singing O Come, O Come, played with the vocal placement a bit on the long vowels for the space then did the whole piece. I kept choking up on the sound of it and that I could still do it (I'm 68). I thanked God my voice was still there and I cried at the sound of singing in the church... it was so much joy. God always speaks to me most clearly through music. I choked up too when I heard your voice.
What a beautiful voice and young woman
God wasn't speaking to you in a false sect's building
malinda: the story of my most viral video
me: hasn't seen the video
Ditto.
Same here 😂😂
Same
Legit, been watching since the translating series and I’m not on Facebook often
Please go look at the video. Ethereal even with just the phone mike.
Your voice sounds like the person who read nursery rhymes on a CD that I listened to at age four to get to sleep
Lol yes like an angel lulling you to sleep
Just imagine a parishioner walking in to do his prayer and then Malinda starts to softly sing like gods angel in the background. One will never be the same.
The story is fascinating. The most precious moments can happen unplanned and in between disruptions.
Your voice reminds me a lot of Enya. It’s made to hypnotize and send us a glimmer of the other world.
Your video of you singing in that church found its way through the TH-cam algorythm to present itself to me just yesterday - December 9, 2022.... and my heart wept with joy at the marvelous gift you created for this small planet on which we live.... Thank you.... and thanks to your mom for listening to that still small voice that sent you to that special place on Earth.... that combined with your heart, your voice, your beautiful spirit, that gifted us a magnificent peek into the heart and mind of the Divine.... God bless you young lady and I pray fervently that your dream of recording in that magnificent place, built by the faithful people of Spain, will reverberate to bless the entire world... as it has begun to do already....
I am now a subscriber to your channel and look forward to the blessings that will come. On a side note, I hope to one day hear you lead sing, backed up by the Tabernacle Choir and orchestra on Temple Square; possibly the other end of the sound spectrum of accompanment of that silent, solemn, holy house of the Lord that accompanied you in Spain...
Your dad's echoing shoe was amazing lol
Yea, the 'shoe fart' made me laugh!
Lol yes
I totally expected to see someone walk in and then encourage her to keep singing! Lol (thought it was the door...)
The specific lyrics it came between just makes it all the more wonderful
"Until the son of God appears~"
**sqeak**
"Rejoice~"
A building like that can, with borrowed voice, sing right back at you.
Gives me shivers.
EDIT: Malinda, have you considered trying out a natural acoustic space, like a cavern, for future acoustic experiments? Could be interesting.
She's actually done this, scroll back through this channel's history a bit. It's hard to miss
Malinda: sings
Cathedral: UNO REVERSE CARD 😍
She's done it a few times!

@@brentage5000 ??? How did I miss this one. Request pre-granted! *shrug *
That was no accident that you found yourself in that church. For me I had been scrolling through the video shorts here on TH-cam that stopped me in my tracks because I at 55yo have never heard that color of sound from voice. Many of your vocal tones through the song would mesh together as they bounced off the wall so that they created an auditory illusion that I can not describe. Maybe there is a word for it. God shows us love in many ways this time you were called to for that purpose to be that in a physical form. How awesome that is
I cry everytime I watch this. Its like angels coming down from heaven. What a gift.
I agree!
Hope that's the way heaven will sound.
WHAT??????? IVE WATCHED THAT VIDEO A THOUSAND TIMES HOW THE HECK DID I NOT KNOW THAT WAS YOU. i cant BELIEVE the government lets u get away with being this talented smh
Lol
Where did you watch the video
When I found out it was the ‘TikTok girl’ who did the ‘Wellerman’ song I died.
@@istan9682 ive been seeing clips of that vid on tumblr for years! i started following malinda a few years ago, although after id already seen the clip a bunch of times, but i did not know it was her until this vid
Ive been here since MALINDA was a channel, and it’s been so cool to hear all your stories about the incredible music you make!
Can’t imagine a whole congregation singing in a space like that . With just how much it echoed and amplified one voice
I am a Christian and Emanuel brought me to tear's all they way through the song. I believe that our Father will provide you with many more with acoustics's and the same meaning as the first special Church that handed you a viral video.
The first time I saw this video on Facebook, I was like “oh my god, that’s Malinda!!” It gives me major chills and actually makes me tear up a little whenever I hear these clips.
SAME
When you said that music was how you felt connected to God, that really struck me; I feel the exact same way. I go to church every week, but even the songs they sing there feel like the moment is being forced, so it's absolutely amazing to find that quiet time when it's just you, music, and God and all of the complications just fade for a minute.
Zoey Bea I wish I could go back in time to those days when I was attending churches that LOVED to sing, and teen devos that went on for far too long because of the same. I finally had a new moment here in Japan at a Brazilian church we’re going to now. It. Was. Amazing and I am so thankful for it!!! 💖🙏🏻💖🙏🏻💖
@@jpnlvr That's amazing! So glad you were able to get that experience again!
In my village, the lead singer role is jealously guarded by a retired school nurse who can't really sing. This doesn't help.
I've noticed a few thing with Church music. First, some priests tend to really care about the music. They are mostly Guitar Priests. And generally they do it well.
Next, Church songs tend to be rewritten and rearranged very often. (guitar priests do that too, generally making the note range less wide). Sometimes the rearrangement is done with no regards for how well this sounds. I've seen a song which was clearly written for 3/4 timing sung in 4/4.
Christmas carols tend to be rewritten too, sadly. These are absolute classics, and it seems our church (the one in my village I mean) avoids the classics. The ones that everyone knows well.
I've seen the Salve Regina sung (averagely) as far as possible from the Sister Act version. Needless to say, I was disappointed.
Finally, there are Psalms. Psalms are generally sung on a random, minor melody with a terrible syllable/note ratio. They are translated from hebrew, thus have unconsistent number of feet and nonexistent rhyme. There must exist a way to make them sound good, but this isn't it.
I Don't blame the choirs, however. Singing during mass is really intimidating. One time, (I was 12), I was to play piano during a psalm, and I trusted myself to do it well, since I had already done piano concerts in Church. But Under the sights of over a thousand people, I failed miserably. My grandma told me "I Don't know who played piano during the mass today, but it wasn't great!". Ouch.
I Don't know if I shouldn't be judgemental about this, I just can't help to hear it.
@@wordart_guian I totally hear you on the whole rearranging songs thing. My church will sometimes sing only half of a song or just sing the chorus over and over.
Thank you for respecting our Church and others who pray. Since you mentioned the “prayer circle”, that’s called Stations of the Cross. God bless.
I think one of the most charming things about that video (other than your beautiful voice!) is how travel worn you look. Like a pilgrim finally making it to a holy site, you traveled far, didn't have time to prepare yourself fully, and offered a prayer to the heavens. Something so simple makes that video so powerful. Regardless of whether or not you make it back there with proper recording devices, the original video will probably always be my favorite.
I found Malinda when her channel was still Malinda Kathleen Reese and she hadn't made a 2nd channel yet. Found her cuz of her collab with Evynne Hollens on For the First Time in Forever. I found Evynne cuz of her husband Peter. And I found Peter cuz of some friends who told me about him. So I probably never would have found Malinda if it wasn't for those friends.
Until I saw your comment, I didn't even realize she'd changed her channel name. XD
Found her through "Love is an Open Door" google translate vid.
It was a God moment...and we're all blessed because you stopped, 'listened', then sang like an angel...
I’m one of those people who discovered you via that clip. I think that all of us who were so excited by it could tell that this was a magical moment happening and it was unplanned and unprepared for and captured on video and that is extremely special. I’m glad you told the story, that just makes it more interesting. I’m glad the clip went viral cause now I’m a big fan of your humor and music.
Your talent is by far ethereal and angelic. Dare I say, your voice is Godly?! Listening to your voice reverberate throughout the church sent chills all over me! It is because of a lady such as yourself why I’m requesting to come out of retirement and go back into active duty…I live for music and I live to defend those who express it as you do. I too, sing in a choir, but I am not anywhere in the league you’re in! You are a gift and treasure to us all…thank you for sharing with us!❤😇
The Architectural Structure Of Some Church's, Had Been Built Specifically For
The Acoustics, To Reverberate From The Depths Of The Soul, The Beauty Of
Space, Sound, And Song !!!! 💗🙏
Thank You Very Much, Malinda, For Sharing
Your Experience !!!! Absolutely Beautiful 💗
Sadly more recent church architecture has for some odd reason destroyed accoustics.
yep, all the special frequencies which helped curing the soul and body...
I saw that video , and her voice is so angelic.
You probably don't even read these anymore but may I just say that this video of you relating this very magical moment in your life has really helped ground me during moments of upheaval in my own life. Your calming voice expressing your experience seems to ease my own anxieties and lets me escape for just a little while from the chaos trauma-drama around me and I can breathe. So, thank you.
Imagine doing it again with a Gregorian chant backing you.
Yasss
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 I am not sure if I could handle that😱😱😱
I don't know... That might be too much. Much of the beauty was in the simplicity of the lone voice with the echo.
@@Sembazuru Gregorian chant is one voice.... In fact those churches were engineered for Gregorian chant bc that was the music of the worship
There is a canyon in Utah called the singing canyon. Would love to hear your voice there! And thanks for talking about your religious experience too. Beyond beautiful music in a very special place!
It is like listening to an angel singing in the church. 😇🥰
This makes me think of the summer I spent in Italy, walking down a street in Rome and hearing organ music from behind a very nondescript door. I walked in as the person finished a piece and sat down. Maybe 30 seconds later, a rendition of "Ode to Joy" started that will stay with me the rest of my life. Listening to you honor this space gave me chills and full-body goosebumps. That church is now on my travel list!
I hope you can undestand this in spanish:
Gracias por visitar mi país, por hablar con tanto cariño de él , y por contar una historia tan bonita.
Espero que disfrutaras el viaje.
If you ever happen to travel to Pisa, Italy there is a domed building by the Leaning Tower of Pisa that has the same acoustic qualities as the church you were in. I don't know if they would let anyone sing in it but it would be well worth checking out.
I saw you on the Spanish news, and I already knew of your channel and was a subscriber. When I saw you there I felt really proud of you for finally getting the recognition you have always deserved!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
This place was built for angelic voices like yours. I absolutely love the duration of each of your tones just hanging in the space of the dome above.
Thanks a lot for sharing this truly special moment with us!
Watching this brings tears to my eyes and truly chokes me up. It just gets to my spirit. Crazy how it impacts me. Thank you so much for doing it, sharing it, and being who you are.
Yes! This is so powerful.
Same! And it almost never happens to me (I try to take the enjoying and smiling side and just feel it raise my spirit or mood or whatever). But this was so, SO beautiful! I had been there at the scene I probably would have fallen to my knees with my jaw on the ground (filling with tears and so being in danger of drowning on a dry land. Exxaggerating? Me? Never!)
Thanks Malinda for sharing this ❤️
@@Garbox80 Yes, YES. yes! I totally agree!
Wow. I found you through let it go when the channel was Malinda Kathleen Reese and I had no idea that that video brought so many more people here. You deserve it though!
Nightfern Ditto!
I watched this video when it went viral and was floored. 6 or so months later my husband shared with me your sea shanties and I fell in love. I'm just now putting together that you are the same person. I want to say small world, but it's cooler than that. Keep doing what you love. We love it from you!!!
Your knowledge of how sound responds to a room made this so beautiful. Seeing you wait for the room to finish was so cool to watch and hear. Looking forward to your future video with that church.
I found Malinda through Google Translate “Let it Go.”
Edit: WOW, thanks for all the likes! This is more than I’ve gotten in my whole life. 😂
same
Me toooo. We've been here since the beginning lol.
Same! The ogs
I am a VERY proud member of this group. Malinda is amazing and she keeps getting better!!! It’s an absolute blessing to watch💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Laura from Japan
I found her through french science youtuber e-penser, in about 2016 (i think that was after Hello, by Adele)
I've watched the video so many times of her singing. It's hypnotizing.
Such a beautiful voice bravo, this video touched me so much because I'm a musician my self and I actually pay thousands of dollars to get these voices for recordings truly amazing I can just imagine how you felt singing in this church I've been to Italy and went to all most every church my parents took us, what an amazing voice you have bravo 👏 ❤️
Sometimes, if I'm having a bad day and am stressed out, I'll listen to that video and it instantly soothes me. Your voice is incredibly beautiful Malinda! 😊
Literally the voice of an angel.
(read the second one first) To be able to sing in the angelic tones as you do is truly a gift from God. It too is a gif from God to hear someone share their gift. Thank you!!!
I am listing my comment under my wife's name who passed away a few years ago. When I heard your wonderful voice sing I was taken back to the times that we spent together during Christmas. Yes, it brought many tears, but not were all of sadness, for it helped me remember how fortunate I was to have God joined us together. Thank You,
I just had the worst nightmare and found this video and watched it. Isn't it crazy that as a creator you can play such a huge part in others life's. You're amazing Malinda, thanks
My favorite Christmas carol is O Come Emmanuel and hearing you sing this with your acoustical partner was devine. Seems the spirit was singing back to you. I spent 3 years in Germany with the US Army and I visited many of the large churches which also large reverberation chambers and the sounds are magnificent. And coupled with your beautiful voice, the effects of you and your echo partner caused a very emotional reaction. As a Mormon, I am secure in my faith and always enjoy spiritual music. I would love to hear you sing the Wexford Carol in that church. It would be so awesome. Surely God was listening and well pleased. Thank you for the experience.
Thank you for your singing and this story! I'm an Orthodox Christian and this was heavenly!
your voice in that space are the most amazing combo. If i was the curator of the space i would even invite you to sing all day to your hearts content, the mesmerized crowd would be ENORMOUS.
I have to say one of the best parts of this whole video is the shear joy on your face as you test and play with the harmonics.
Isn't it amazing that some of our best experiences happen by accident?
Your voice when you speak is also beautiful.
If i were that person who wandered in while your voice was bouncing and floating in that space, I would have knelt, bowed my head, and prayed thanks that I live to feel a bit of heaven.
I work in a church, and frankly, i would have 100% loved coming into my church and hear you sing like that. Id applaud and probably shed a happy tear at the end. Then id thank you for making my day
This is such a beautiful story. (It also makes me wonder/hope if you'd record a full version of O Come Emmanuel?? It's one of my favorite Christmas songs
Yassss ❤️
Yes, please?
God has blessed you with a beautiful voice. May you sing forever.
It was a masterpiece..that truly honors that church..as they say here bouts.."Ya dun goooood "! Brought a tear to these old eyes..because I could see your Spirit lift up n join the " all fathers","the elders n craftsman ", that created that Spiritual destination,for folks...just like you!!
" Blessed be "!!
Thanks for sharing!!
👍🐺🧙♂️🦊👍!!
You know you're giving a TH-camr a piece of your heart when you like her/his video before seeing it
I saw the o come o come Emmanuel video on tumblr and didn't recognise you at all. I kinda teared up while watching it and teared up again just now. Idk why
SAME. id watched it a million times and thought "damn, i wish i lived in a world where i could just walk into a church and start taking advantage of the acoustics. also this girl is gorgeous. i wonder how she's doing." which is, i know, a bit too sentimental for a video that just crosses ur dash every once in a while. BUT my brain BROKE when this video came out! its been malinda kathleen reese all along and ive been bamboozled.
@@k.whatever9046 exactly
Obviously a space like that demands a song like what you sung there, and the first time I watched that video a while ago I couldn't believe my ears, however now if those acoustics could be replicated in a place a little less personal and grand I would absolutely love to hear some of your other songs or maybe even a "Google translate sings" there.
If you did go back and no one was around so you wouldn't feel like you were disturbing anyone you should definitely sing surrender, that's one of my favourite songs you wrote!
Technically the accoustics could be replicated in any place of the same shape with hard walls (to bounce the sound). Buildings arent usually built in shape for accoustics though, but churches were for church choirs, so thats why many of them have great accoustics. Theres a cave in iceland carved out of ice specifically to replicate this too.
I like the fact that it’s a church and Malinda’s singing is heavenly.
I was also raised Episcopalian and am currently trying to figure out my way to connect with and challenge my beliefs. I also love singing in churches or sacred spaces in general
Grace Hall I kinda wish we could make a community of people with a similar mind set, all over the world, so that anywhere we go we could find people to sing with. Wouldn’t that be amazing!!!
Malinda: This is how most of you found me
Me: Uh I actually found you through your Let It Go video
Cal And I with You’ll be back
Agreed
Meeee, toooo. OG SQUAD HYPE💖💖💖🤛🤛🤛
Me through I like shapes
Eli De Angeli Awesome Same
As a Catholic, I found that video that went viral absolutely stunning and deeply touching. Unfortunately, the Catholic Church is in deep turmoil with scandals and a heartbreaking rejection of our artistic tradition. For the past 50 years or so we've almost thrown away most of the Gregorian Chant to the point where the vast majority of Catholic Churches do not use them anymore. You are so lucky to get to learn those hymns like Ave Maris Stella and others that our own hierarchy often rejects.
Also one thing I would encourage you to do is look into the teachings of the Catholic Church from faithful Catholic institutions. That is REALLY important. I can't even listen to non-Catholics talk about Catholicism because they never get it right. We have had a lot of horrible men in our ranks, but the miracle is that despite the scandals and blotches on our history is that the Theology and Dogmas have remained pure. Catholicism is so SO beautiful, deeply Biblical, logical, profound, mysterious, and glorious. When lived out how it is supposed to be lived out, it brings total intamacy with Christ. It is definitely worth looking into. You might be completely surprised by what you find! God bless!
Never mind the singing, which is amazing, who else could just listen to Malinda talking? About anything. She has such a melodic, soothing speaking voice.
I'm not surprised that you're more in tune with your own spirituality after singing along with a place like that.
"For my soul delighteth in the song of the heart; yea, the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me, and it shall be answered with a blessing upon their heads."
Amen
Is that from the Psalms?
This is how I first found about Malinda and GTS from watching the church video and hearing such beautiful vocals nice to hear the back story behind it.
Your voice singing Emmanuel brings tears to my eyes.... beautiful ❤️
OMG I m absolutely mesmerized by the few seconds of your singing in the church. Love it absolutely love it. please go back there again and sing full Ave Maris stella.
Girl, your voice is amazing and you sing so well. Listening to you sing in there gives me the chills. You are like those beautiful voices of fantasy movies or nordic song.
Wish you the best!
I hadn't seen these videos. I found you from the 10 second man and stayed for the song with your highest and lowest notes which is gorgeous, I play it on repeat often.
Pure magic , wonderful ! Thank you for posting !
It was only the other day I came across your video and this pops up today, but what amazes me most is the light, the light streaming in the church while you are singing. It absolutely blew me away with your voice.
Even now it makes me tear up .. and one thing you dont need if you go back to sing, is a microphone,, sing as God intended you / us to sing, Just heavenly, thank you so much for this, God Bless you x
oh my .. you got me with the song "oh come Emmanuel". I felt tears running from my eyes.
I love your videos so much and they inspire me a lot!
OH MY GOSH THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for sharing this and please do more of this! I honestly started crying in the 12th minute when you were testing the acoustics! Lovely ❣❣❣
Malinda has the most soothing and calming voice I've ever heard. I can be having a terrible day and listen to these videos and relax.
This video is so touching. Thank you for sharing. You are amazing inside and out. 3 years ago I found your channel when the frozen Translator fails was suggested to me. Last month I saw this video of you in Spain and my heart melted. A once in a life time experience. I've also had a similar experience when I got to play the tabernacle organ at temple square in Salt Lake City. There is a 9 second reveb delay that makes things a bit tricky.
Lovely to hear the back story of those 2 awesome videos!
Very moving to see them again...
I have seen the clip of “Oh Come Oh Come Emmanuel” SO MANY TIMES without seeing it linked to you but it always stuns me-your voice, and the way the church expands and expresses every note.
Amazing! I came across the video of you singing in this church a good while back on Facebook like many others and shared it.... It has just came up in my memories again :-) You truly found somewhere special that sang back to you and also with you, your face absolutely lit up when you realised! Keep doing what makes you smile :-)
I’m so glad you had the time to sing my favorite Christmas hymn. Beautiful. Thank you
So very moved. The context only adds to the beauty of this moment. All of us , I believe, witness the spirit of your gift when we need to hear the angel sing. Thank you.
Not what I'd usually listen too, but your vocals are amazing, and the reverb in there is awesome! I first saw you on the ten second songs colab, I was absolutely stunned by your vocal skills when I saw those videos, and you're a nice piece of eye candy too which is an added bonus!
That video is how I found you and I’m so glad I did. You have a wonderful voice and personality. I love when you post new videos it makes my day.
We sang ave maris stella in school choir, but it didn't sound as cool as you! We didn't have a cathedral though. This song is wonderful.
Just brilliant Malinda. So glad you posted this explainer. Great story and I'm glad your parents got to experience those Godly (musical) moments with their cherished one. You're such a fresh breeze that makes all the other TH-cam noise drift away when I listen to you. P.s when you said it was only recorded on an iPhone - that made me think, well, those phones must have incredible microphones because the playback was just ecstatic. Like your voice! 💯🙏
