"Tonight The Angels" was released today. It's the first single from the new Haberdashery album of the same name, and one of my favorite songs from it as well. The single has a 12" mix, a markymix, and an acoustic version, which features my very first attempt at playing one of my songs on the guitar! It took a little while to record (and a lot of editing out mistakes), but I think it turned out all right. I am going to keep practicing though, and hopefully each new acoustic version will be better than the last :) The last song on the single is a cover of one of my favorite Enya songs, called "Afer Ventus". The lyrics are in Latin, so it took some time to write them all out phonetically so I could pronounce them correctly. I'm pretty sure I got. The beautiful henna lettering and artwork were done by my friend Niki, and the book cover is from an 1894 edition of "The Count Of Monte Cristo", lent to me by another friend, Tiffany.
