about
2020 hasn't been the greatest year, but one dividend has been more time to work on tracks I always wanted to record but never quite made it onto an album. Hence - a NEW CHRISTMAS SINGLE for Christmas 2020. The track is a fresh re-working of the classic Christmas Carol “Angels From The Realms of Glory”. It was recorded at my new home studio in Northumberland, accompanied by Bronwen Davies-Jones on backing vocals, with the final mix and mastering done at Foundry Music Lab in Motherwell by Sandy Jones. The track brings a brand new melody and energetic arrangement to lift your spirits and soothe your soul to bring to a close this most different of years. Hope it brings a little cheer in difficult times.
lyrics
Angels From The Realms Of Glory
Angels from the realms of glory
Wing your flight through all the earth
Ye who sang creation's story
Now proclaim Messiah's birth
Gloria, Gloria
In excelsis deo
Shepherds, in the fields abiding
Watching o'er your flocks by night
God with man is now residing
Yonder shines the infant light
Gloria, Gloria
In excelsis deo
Sages, leave your contemplation
Brighter visions beam afar
Seek the great desire of nations
Ye have seen His natal star
Gloria, Gloria
In excelsis deo
Gloria, Gloria
In excelsis deo

I LOVE this album. Superb songwriting, immersive soundscapes, first class production and performances. One of my essential musical travel companions. Gareth Davies-Jones
For me - probably Paul Bell's best work and features one of my favourite songs "Mend The Cracks With Gold". A gem of an album that deserves to a place in your collection. Gareth Davies-Jones
I've loved being part of this project. Songs and stories of women from the North East of England who have challenged the status quo, changed history and been an inspiration to all. Gareth Davies-Jones
