Hello everyone,
Another song from "This Beautiful Day" is now available as a video on YouTube. It's the Song of Bernadette which was co-written by one of this century's songwriting icons; Leonard Cohen. Find the video here on my website or view it on YouTube.
The song was first recorded by Jennifer Warnes for her album Famous Blue Raincoat and has also been covered by Bette Midler. It was inspired by Bernadette Soubirous, a young French girl in the mid 19th century who claimed to have seen the Virgin Mary on several occasions. She was declared insane by the villagers of Lourdes but was canonized by the Catholic Church and proclaimed St. Bernadette after her death.
I hope you enjoy!
