All the videos on my website are embedded from Youtube. From what little information I can find Youtube is testing turning off videos for certain users that are not logged into a Youtube account or using a VPN to view videos. If you have a Youtube account, please try logging in and see if you can then view the videos on https://mvotd.com. If you're using a VPN, try turning it off to view the videos. There are a few other work arounds but they are pretty confusing to use. If you have the skills you might try searching Google for "Youtube Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" for a fix. I didn't see any that looked easy. Our best hope is that Youtube completes their test and realizes this is a big mistake. Until then, please check in daily to see if you still getting the error message. Sorry it took so long to figure out what was going on with this. Mel
Description
As one of the oldest extant carols, we knew “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” was the perfect fit for our Winter Lights album! The song is an English carol dating back to at least the 16th century, but the message and lyrics are still as relevant today as they were 500 years ago:
“God rest you merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
For Jesus Christ, our Saviour
Was born upon this day,
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray.
O tidings of comfort and joy.”
Everything you hear in our arrangement is exactly how we perform it live with our 2 harps: no backing tracks, loops, or extra harp tracks. The intro, outro, and interludes are an original melody that we composed for this song. :) :) We spent a lot of time thinking what the perfect location for our arrangement would be, and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to film again at the magnificent Sanfilippo Estate “Place de la Musique” in Illinois. This is our 8th music video filmed there! This time we were granted permission to film in the new Perfume Passage wing. We felt like Christmas dolls in a magical dollhouse.
