Though Kara has never ascribed to a specific dogma, her favorite
Christmas songs as a child were those that were more religious by
nature; they struck her as undeniably more poignant and passionate. Last
Christmas it troubled her that the more secular Christmas songs she
heard on the radio didn't carry the same kind of weight.
"I wanted a song that really captured what Christmas means to someone
like me, who is very spiritual, but not necessarily religious," she
explains. "And I wanted a song that doesn't gloss over the dark stuff,
but instead unravels the beauty of the complete picture."
That evening Kara sat down and wrote "The Chandelier," a song about
finding strength, hope, and joy in the face of change and mortality. Her
hope is that this song will touch and inspire people of all backgrounds
this Christmas.
100% of the profits from any sales made before Jan 1, 2012 will go to
small local farmers in Vermont, to help them recover from the
devastation left in the wake of Hurricane Irene.
