As a Spanish person I’m pretty sure that anyone walking into the church while you were singing wouldn’t be bothered at all. Quite the contrary, they would have really appreciated your gift and probably call over their neighbours to hear you sing in their church :D

​@@Indy__isnt_itabsolutely agreed! Definitely God himself was listening the charming voice of this beautiful lady singing this soul elevating, mesmerising and heavenly song. All universe was connected with the soul of all Christianity in that particular moment. Everything was gifted by the almighty to embrace all of us in a hug of life, love, respect, friendship, peace, and united us like family or friends. Every time I see and listen to this video mi soul and heart feels refilled with the love of god and all his creation. God bless us all🙏🏻❤

My thoughts exactly.

[@TheGosslings]

As a lifelong Christian who grew up in church and Christian schools and whose family was prominent in Southern Gospel, I can wholeheartedly attest that this is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard in my life. I stumbled across it last Christmas Day alone, in my deceased mother's home. My parents were dead. My brothers were busy with their families. I felt the pent up loneliness of the holidays. And then I found this. And then later that night, a random couple sitting next to me at a red light caught my attention just to tell me God loves me and that I'm a good man. A block away from my eldest brother's family's house, I broke down and wept. Ever since, I have periodically come back to this lovely video. I love cathedrals and iconography. Sometimes, when I'm low and the dragons slither at my feet, I cue this up and listen. Your voice...thank you. If you're ever in Nashville, I owe you.

Just imagine a parishioner walking in to do his prayer and then Malinda starts to softly sing like gods angel in the background. One will never be the same. The story is fascinating. The most precious moments can happen unplanned and in between disruptions. Your voice reminds me a lot of Enya. It’s made to hypnotize and send us a glimmer of the other world.

That was absolutely a beautiful performance and you honored the space by your presence. Part of what made it so special was the fact that you clearly were not utilizing state of the art equipment and you were dressed like a tourist.

[@CharlesPayet]

As an ex-Catholic (30 years) and now atheist (20 years), and as a musician (including choral singing) for most of my life, I don’t believe it has anything to do with a god, the holy ghost, or Jesus. Music is its own amazing magic, and those feelings can be evoked by MANY kinds of music. Churches just use them to manipulate people; if you don’t believe me, look up ex-pastors or ex-worship leaders talk in about how it’s done on purpose. That said, the emotions and joy are REAL. The magic of the music is real and amazing.

[@theshepherdpath]

Can’t imagine a whole congregation singing in a space like that . With just how much it echoed and amplified one voice

[@zestymoo]

I think one of the most charming things about that video (other than your beautiful voice!) is how travel worn you look. Like a pilgrim finally making it to a holy site, you traveled far, didn't have time to prepare yourself fully, and offered a prayer to the heavens. Something so simple makes that video so powerful. Regardless of whether or not you make it back there with proper recording devices, the original video will probably always be my favorite.

[@spencernorby6075]

A few days ago I was installing a hearing loop system in an Episcopal Church in Seattle. The floor was also being tiled so the space was stripped. The acoustics were very live. Once upon a time I sang in The Choir of the West from my University days, and I still have most of my voice. I started singing O Come, O Come, played with the vocal placement a bit on the long vowels for the space then did the whole piece. I kept choking up on the sound of it and that I could still do it (I'm 68). I thanked God my voice was still there and I cried at the sound of singing in the church... it was so much joy. God always speaks to me most clearly through music. I choked up too when I heard your voice.

[@perolozac01]

Back where I come from there's a saying: He who sings means no harm. Even if the locals would generally frown upon tourists and/or intruders, I can't imagine anyone being offended by someone with a golden voice singing from their soul. Especially since you were polite and respectful as to not interrupt those already praying. Now watch THIS video going viral too. :) (Probably not though.)

[@brettcoburn673]

That was no accident that you found yourself in that church. For me I had been scrolling through the video shorts here on KZbin that stopped me in my tracks because I at 55yo have never heard that color of sound from voice. Many of your vocal tones through the song would mesh together as they bounced off the wall so that they created an auditory illusion that I can not describe. Maybe there is a word for it. God shows us love in many ways this time you were called to for that purpose to be that in a physical form. How awesome that is

[@RowanShard]

When you said that music was how you felt connected to God, that really struck me; I feel the exact same way. I go to church every week, but even the songs they sing there feel like the moment is being forced, so it's absolutely amazing to find that quiet time when it's just you, music, and God and all of the complications just fade for a minute.

[@wordart_guian]

In my village, the lead singer role is jealously guarded by a retired school nurse who can't really sing. This doesn't help. I've noticed a few thing with Church music. First, some priests tend to really care about the music. They are mostly Guitar Priests. And generally they do it well. Next, Church songs tend to be rewritten and rearranged very often. (guitar priests do that too, generally making the note range less wide). Sometimes the rearrangement is done with no regards for how well this sounds. I've seen a song which was clearly written for 3/4 timing sung in 4/4. Christmas carols tend to be rewritten too, sadly. These are absolute classics, and it seems our church (the one in my village I mean) avoids the classics. The ones that everyone knows well. I've seen the Salve Regina sung (averagely) as far as possible from the Sister Act version. Needless to say, I was disappointed. Finally, there are Psalms. Psalms are generally sung on a random, minor melody with a terrible syllable/note ratio. They are translated from hebrew, thus have unconsistent number of feet and nonexistent rhyme. There must exist a way to make them sound good, but this isn't it. I Don't blame the choirs, however. Singing during mass is really intimidating. One time, (I was 12), I was to play piano during a psalm, and I trusted myself to do it well, since I had already done piano concerts in Church. But Under the sights of over a thousand people, I failed miserably. My grandma told me "I Don't know who played piano during the mass today, but it wasn't great!". Ouch.

[@wordart_guian]

I Don't know if I shouldn't be judgemental about this, I just can't help to hear it.

It is because of a lady such as yourself why I’m requesting to come out of retirement and go back into active duty…I live for music and I live to defend those who express it as you do. I too, sing in a choir, but I am not anywhere in the league you’re in! You are a gift and treasure to us all…thank you for sharing with us!❤😇

I like the fact that it’s a church and Malinda’s singing is heavenly.

[@32rumandcoke]

God has blessed you with a beautiful voice. May you sing forever.

[@soulfulxombi]

This is how I first found about Malinda and GTS from watching the church video and hearing such beautiful vocals nice to hear the back story behind it.

[@yangouin5091]

your voice in that space are the most amazing combo. If i was the curator of the space i would even invite you to sing all day to your hearts content, the mesmerized crowd would be ENORMOUS.

[@vlakrunn]

Thank you for your singing and this story! I'm an Orthodox Christian and this was heavenly!

[@mollyvandever9817]

Malinda, you have an angelic voice. The respect and joy you felt showed in your video. These are the reasons your video went viral. It deserved to do so. Thanks for brightening my day and lifting my heart. Sing on.

[@forncettindustrialsteammus2992]

Your appreciation of music is truly moving. You have further inspired us to complete our ongoing work on our reverb chambers for our classical music events. Its fascinating to hear how a space can hold a duet with a human voice, certainly remarkable.

[@Cog1123]

It is very hard for me to find any sort of music that touches me in such a way as I start to cry. These clips of you singing in the church, brought me to tears with their beauty, and it was sudden too!!! Truly magic still exists in the world!

[@kathleen7825]

The Architectural Structure Of Some Church's, Had Been Built Specifically For The Acoustics, To Reverberate From The Depths Of The Soul, The Beauty Of Space, Sound, And Song !!!! 💗🙏 Thank You Very Much, Malinda, For Sharing Your Experience !!!! Absolutely Beautiful 💗

[@stubryant9145]

Sadly more recent church architecture has for some odd reason destroyed accoustics.

[@peteroz7332]

yep, all the special frequencies which helped curing the soul and body...

[@cdmjazz]

As a musician and music teacher, I admire your vocal talent, but the truly extraordinary thing is the sheer joy on your face as you sang. I consider myself lucky to have come across this video. Thank you!

[@belindagarcia3627]

Your voice singing Emmanuel brings tears to my eyes.... beautiful ❤️

[@amywjn]

Wow! Beautiful! Can not imagine the brains that it took to design such a building with that acoustic ability. And your voice both point to God. No evolutionary need for that over abundance of brains & beauty.

[@jackieraulerson2005]

I’m so glad you had the time to sing my favorite Christmas hymn. Beautiful. Thank you

[@welshpete12]

Pure magic , wonderful ! Thank you for posting !

[@Howard253]

First off, thank you for being you and the kind spirt you are sharing with the world. Amazing voice, great back story as i do remember when those videos went viral.

[@michaelmcgowan2207]

Malinda

[@agam406]

Your voice when you speak is also beautiful.

[@Rwededyet]

I've never been a believer in the whole ASMR thing, but as soon as you began singing with the reverberations, I got a weird tingling across the back of my scalp. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world.

[@ZipplyZane]

Frisson as a response to music actually predates the concept of ASMR. It's talked about in classical texts. So you've gotten your connection with the past as well.

[@ThreeKidsPlus2]

I am listing my comment under my wife's name who passed away a few years ago. When I heard your wonderful voice sing I was taken back to the times that we spent together during Christmas. Yes, it brought many tears, but not were all of sadness, for it helped me remember how fortunate I was to have God joined us together. Thank You,

[@mikah.6672]

I hadn't seen these videos. I found you from the 10 second man and stayed for the song with your highest and lowest notes which is gorgeous, I play it on repeat often.

[@benjimw]

That experience is beyond description, something that must be lived to be understood. I get a little of what it might have been like to sing there based on my experience playing a Steinway D concert grand in my university's music building auditorium all by myself. Thanks so much for sharing both the original videos and this background story!

[@erick5327]

Love your vocabulary, eloquent. Your voice is Angelic, and the podcast clarity is perfect. Well done!

[@ajmeyer66]

I found a short video of you singing in that church the other day. Today I found this one, hearing you explain how you came across this church and hearing you sing in it again in this video had me welling up with emotion. It was sooo beautiful, I am so overwhelmed with emotions, it is hard not to cry, not in sadness but in overwhelming joy. Thank you, it was beautiful.

[@keegan9935]

This is such a beautiful story. (It also makes me wonder/hope if you'd record a full version of O Come Emmanuel?? It's one of my favorite Christmas songs

[@xeniamalakoff2610]

Yassss ❤️

[@da.reverend]

Yes, please?

[@troublingleaf]

Not what I'd usually listen too, but your vocals are amazing, and the reverb in there is awesome! I first saw you on the ten second songs colab, I was absolutely stunned by your vocal skills when I saw those videos, and you're a nice piece of eye candy too which is an added bonus!

[@ivofurtado8032]

You have a voice of an angel 😇 thank you for that warm fuzzy feeling and you made a 55 year old burly man cry may God bless you and your family

[@Zoezoloo]

OMG I m absolutely mesmerized by the few seconds of your singing in the church. Love it absolutely love it. please go back there again and sing full Ave Maris stella.

[@AJCoop93]

As a Catholic, I found that video that went viral absolutely stunning and deeply touching. Unfortunately, the Catholic Church is in deep turmoil with scandals and a heartbreaking rejection of our artistic tradition. For the past 50 years or so we've almost thrown away most of the Gregorian Chant to the point where the vast majority of Catholic Churches do not use them anymore. You are so lucky to get to learn those hymns like Ave Maris Stella and others that our own hierarchy often rejects. Also one thing I would encourage you to do is look into the teachings of the Catholic Church from faithful Catholic institutions. That is REALLY important. I can't even listen to non-Catholics talk about Catholicism because they never get it right. We have had a lot of horrible men in our ranks, but the miracle is that despite the scandals and blotches on our history is that the Theology and Dogmas have remained pure. Catholicism is so SO beautiful, deeply Biblical, logical, profound, mysterious, and glorious. When lived out how it is supposed to be lived out, it brings total intamacy with Christ. It is definitely worth looking into. You might be completely surprised by what you find! God bless!

[@LloydsofRochester]

One of the beauties of that original video was the complete spontaneity of somebody who was not setting up for perfection, who sounded so good without any suspicion of recording studio mixing tweaking it, and who clearly was just traveling. The pleasure was watching you bathing in the sound and sharing the joy.

[@tannewton]

oh my .. you got me with the song "oh come Emmanuel". I felt tears running from my eyes.

[@josiahsdays]

Everytime I hear your performance, I well up with tears. I actually feel it in my entire body.

[@David_Thompson]

Lovely to hear the back story of those 2 awesome videos! Very moving to see them again...
