Once In A Red Moon
Secret Garden’s musical ideas are built on organic melodies telling their own stories, simplicity and straight from the heart performances. With this album “once in a red moon” we wanted to retain these basic elements, but also explore new areas in our musical universe, and challenge our own creative thoughts. During this process we also discovered that this development was a circle – like an orbit in our creative universe taking us around to the intimacy and emotions of where Secret Garden once originated. It was from this album that “You Raise Me Up” was born into the world.

YOU RAISE ME UP
Lyrics by Brendan Graham
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up… to more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up… to more than I can be.
There is no life – no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
And I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up… to more than I can be.
You raise me up… to more than I can be.

THE GATES OF DAWN
Lyrics by Brendan Graham
The wheels of life keep turning,
Spinning without control.
The wheels of the heart keep yearning
For the sound of the singing soul;
And nights are full with weeping
For sins of the past we’ve sown
But tomorrow is ours for the keeping
Tomorrow the future’s shown.
CHORUS:
Lift your eyes and see the glory,
Where the circle of life is drawn;
See the never-ending story,
Come with me to the gates of dawn.
And whose is the hand who rises
The sun from the heaving sea?
The power that ever amazes
We look, but never will see.
Who scattered the seeds so life could be,
Who coloured the fields of corn?
Who formed the mould that made me – me
Before the world was born?
CHORUS:
Lift your eyes and see the glory,
Where the circle of life is drawn;
See the never-ending story,
Come with me to the gates of dawn.
Lift your eyes and see the glory,
Where the circle of life is drawn;
See the never-ending story,
Come with me to the gates of dawn.

Greenwaves
Lyrics by Ann Hampton Callaway
I remember a meadow one morning in May,
With a sky full of dreams that sailed in that day.
I was dancing through green waves of grass like the sea
For a moment in time I could feel I was free.
There are waves of forgiveness and waves of regret,
And the first waves of true love I’ll never forget.
In the meadow that morning as I wandered alone
There were green waves of yearning for life still unknown.
chorus:
Take me home to the meadow that cradles my heart
Where the waves reach as far as you can see.
Take me home to the meadow – we’ve been too long apart,
I can still hear you calling for me.
What I’d give to remember that heavenly state
Just a moment in time – all mine to create.
As I’m taking my last breath I know what I’ll see
There’ll be green waves forever out there waiting for me.
chorus:
Take me home to the meadow that cradles my heart
Where the waves reach as far as you can see.
Take me home to the meadow – we’ve been too long apart,
I can still hear you calling for me.

Thank you so much for sharing this very special documentary. I love it! Amazing to see how every puzzle piece was put together, especially with the difficult conditions we have had during this covid year with its lock downs and the necessity of keeping distance. Jeg må si at julesangene deres er et av de sterkeste lys som skinner i mørketiden i år! I feel much respect, gratitude and love for what you are doing. Each one of you is gifted with so much talent.

Beautiful
I was listeing Song From A Secret Garden and Adagio. Thanks for theses two songs … thanks for exist.
It was like to be born again. (sorry my english)
This song is also in German. Not sure where it originated, but its name is: "Es ist ein Rose entsprungen." English: "Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming." I remember this song very well from when I was in my high school's chorus and Madrigal singers. I sang the Alto part. 😀
Belíssima!

Delivery problems.
For those of you who are frustrated about the CD delivery we can only apologise.
We have contacted our distributor in the US who is aware of the problem.
The problem lies with the postal services that seem to be slowed down.
Due to covid and US election many businesses have been disrupted.
We fully understand the frustration, but it seems that there is little we can do to alleviate the problem.
We really hope, for all of you who have ordered the “Sacred Night” CD, that this will be resolved as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, we hope you’ll listen to the new album digitally on Spotify or one of the other providers.
We’re so sorry!🙏🏼

Thanks, Trump!
Amazon UK dont have a delivery date at present☹
Alguien sabe donde puedo comprar uno? Con envío a México
Is this true of your book too? Mine was supposed to arrive 2 days ago and tracking just says delivery is delayed. I can’t wait to get it!!
It seems to accelerate. Scheduled for December 29th, the CD was delivered today.
Ordered three via Amazon and had them within a week, enjoying it very much.
I pre ordered it from Amazon UK and am wondering if I’ll get it in time for Christmas 2021.
I purchased the CD in November and haven't received it yet.

This is the best Christmas album of the year! Looping it for so many times, really beautiful!!!
Hi
UN SUPERBE TRAVAIL QUI RESUME DE VRAIS MOMENTS D'EMOTION.
I just love that song! "Es ist ein Rose entsprungen" ("Lo, how a rose e'er blooming") I sang that many years ago in my high school chorus and Madrigal singers. <3 <3 <3
Secret Garden: 🎶 my favorite musical group! 🥰
Eu quero kkkkk
I love Secret Garden and I’m thrilled to hear you have a new Album.
Lucky you to all those that got this. Feel thoroughly let down as ordered CD on 26th Nov and estimated delivery time keeps changing and is now after Christmas. Really poor distribution. Had to cancel order. Disappointed ! 😕
How is it possible to get the CD in Europe?? I can only find delivery from the U.S. – that can't be true, can it? Been trying to get it for weeks 🙁
