Hallows Eve - Reina del Cid

[@ChrisNye-n6o]

The girl is a flat out genius

[@Mara_Jade-Skywalker]

I'd say she's quite *sharp.* Music joke

[@adebayoadegbite904]

That bit about Rochester's wife descending the stairs and realizing that she is not alone is just poetic and hauntingly beautiful

[@christophermahon1851]

Imagine if she had had access to therapy!

[@sollyferreira7352]

my 7yo daughter asked me to send you the following: Dearest auntie Reina, we don't celebrate Halloween in South Africa, but I really love this song! Daddy's got to play it on repeat and I'm singing along. Love Rebecca

[@johnmcafee9741]

Only an English major would include Boo Radley in a Halloween song. Well done, M’lady, and a tip of the chapeau to those who backed you. Thank you.

[@brantlarson421]

And Triffids !

[@keithblack4085]

It's not just entertaining. It's not just infectious. It's not simply well arranged. It's damn brilliant.....and cute.

[@littleelsematters-vd6wj]

what a gorgeous paradox you 've created here: a beautiful, heart-warming, singalong halloween opera! yes. this will stand the test of time. a classic.

[@cls2494]

Rochester's Wife ... such a nice touch! The strings perfect this masterpiece. Otherwise ... in complete awe, I am speechless ...

[@frfr5525]

This has been on replay for weeks. It's a perfect depiction of hopeful sentiments for the misunderstood darknesses. Such a joy.

[@88vladi]

This is not a song, it's real poetry

[@Frederick-in2rz]

Bin watching this young woman and her mate Toni for a long time, I like what I hear. Great music, and no Rap or Hiphop

[@Telecasterfan]

It's become a yearly tradition to listen to this song with my kids on Halloween.

[@felixbiardy6429]

Why am I crying now? I listened this so many times! Why it still works on me? It's been nearly 3 months from first "play". 😢 This is so beautiful 😢🥰😢🥰 thank you Elle you are doing magic🥰

[@JulieStJohn-jb4cy]

Our radio station should be playing this song. HELL...ALL radio stations should be! Best Halloween song ever written! ❤️

[@N7801Z]

Ya know, sometimes I see a title and think, "I'm not going to watch that one." But it's you so I do anyway and I'm always glad I did, Thanks

[@donboe225]

Never thought I would say " what a beautiful Halloween song " but here it is.

[@bmcpsd31]

Every orchestra and high school choir should be performing this next year. Instant classic.

[@jonathanstinson754]

I love when Halloween is close enough each year that I can listen to this song again.

[@russelthomas5527]

Yes, you get Big Foot and Grendel full of beer and they tend to get sentimental. Repeatedly exclaiming "I love you man!" While, on the other hand, Godzilla just wants to fight everyone (well, at least King Kong). Based on the comments we can imagine all the zombies and ghosts of the Reinaverse were there. Well done.

[@williammaxwell7020]

If I die near Halloween, I want this video played at my funeral. We fear the Chupacabra here in New Mexico, but rarely sing abput him. Brilliant. Thank you.

[@stanwagner4788]

Reina that's fantastic. The song. The singing. The lyrics. And the orchestra was off the charts fantastic.

[@christianwacker9027]

THAT. IS. MINDBOGGLINGLY. GOOD. Reina and Crew, you outdid yourselves on this one. Had to listen so many times to appreciate the tiny details in the different instrument’s lines. And on top of all that there is the masterful lyrics and the surprising rhymes. And, of course, my favorite siren on guitar. Destined to be a classic.

[@daviddemar8749]

This is incontrovertibly a magnum opus ....Lyrically, musically , atmospherically ,production-ally, arrangement-ally , everything. it's a masterpiece. I mean, how can anyone not love a song that has a line that rhymes Chupacabra with candlelabra? I give this video one gazillion bravos.😎🎼🎵🎶🎶🧙‍♀️🕸🦇☠🧛‍♂️❤

[@carlhahn3851]

I know, right? The line got me too

[@Mara_Jade-Skywalker]

You didn't say everything-ally, I'm disappointed.

[@sternjunge]

THAT is why I belong to your Patreon! What a phenomenal job of taking a creative spark and turning it into a full-blown bonfire! Thank you!

[@dougaldhendrick3497]

Needs to be in a movie!

[@johns.4331]

Uh.. oh..uh.. ah.. huh.. what.. uh.. oh.. I'm speechless. That was phenominal in every which way. Thank you ladies.

[@rickpollay9851]

I was so impressed I immediately posted the lyrics on MudCat so that folksingers around the world would be alerted to this great seasonal song. Love the large party, even though I didn't recognize everyone - but that's par for large parties.

[@paullucas9758]

THIS IS BRILLIANT YOU NEED TO RELEASE THIS . DUD YOU WRITE IT ????? . WE NEVER HAD IT MUCH HERE IN THE UK TILL ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO IT IS REALLY BIG NOW OUR 5 GRAND KIDS LOVE IT .

[@MordicusEgg]

This is beautiful and lovely, Elle! I thought that I had heard most of, if not all, your posted music. I was happy to track it down after seeing your latest Short/Reel/Tik Tok! I was sure to reserve a listen for my Spotify for Friday the 13th! Keep shining your light into all of the underappreciated/underrepresented places, Elle! You make life more rich everyday!

[@KatePhiz]

No words are sufficient to describe how good this is.

[@johnoconnor3218]

Fantastic! Every host for every Halloween party that ever did and ever will exist should LOVE this.

[@rodgerwaters8292]

This is gonna be a classic,

[@eldallio]

This has become my go-to Halloween carol. Instant classic!!

[@kordking]

I am just in love with this song, I shared it with my friend whose hosting next week and she loves it too and has added it to the party playlist

[@JyrkiVar]

Happy Halloween 2024, with one of the best songs ever written, imho. 😊

[@GreenMountainVelvet]

Watching this made me realize Reina is a workaholic. Lots of the greats are and have been. Reina, we are enjoying the fruits of your hard labor.

[@timlundahl4571]

Artistry on so many levels - song writing, arrangement, performance by Reina and the band, sound mixing, and the wonderful holiday ambience of the video design and editing. It all adds up to a great new "Halloween Carol" for all to enjoy! I can almost smell the candles in the Jack-o-lanterns...

[@robertvanruyssevelt7159]

Nice arrangement - piano drums and strings really add to this performance!

[@deveddia8343]

Toni's playing is always 🔥

[@dad5825]

Sorry to hog the comments section, but I just have to say I enjoy this piece more everytime I listen to it! It really catches me up in smiles and thought. It's just super and so are you Reina del Cid!

[@patricknau9501]

i honestly just cant stop listening to this. its been days now. its haunting me

[@FromJustJ]

Such a great display of Reina's vocal and songwriting skills. I'm really looking forward to a minimalist version of this with just Reina and Toni and their acoustic guitars.

[@kellermax]

Totally. Sometimes - although I wholly appreciate the enormous effort that went into this production - less can be more. Still, top notch songwriting and composition!

[@adrianj.cetera260]

"And Toni play guitar for the gargoyles at the bar"!!... The Best!!

[@Meganopteryx]

I think this is the cutest Halloween song I've ever heard 💖

[@grumpyoldman8293]

Well done Reina, Toni, Kevin et al. I never read Jane Eyre so I had to Google Rochester's wife, but I recognized all the other ghouls from my childhood.

[@tommymigs813]

Master songwriter Reina Del Cid. Absolutely fun-omenal. I think this might be your best one to date. Good call on the orchestral composition. Keep it going. Sundays got better. Love u guys!!!

[@willythewave]

You have been a wonderful and familiar presence on youtube for almost a decade and a half. I sure miss the old days of youtube but thankfully you retain and preserve the original feel and meaning of what it originally was. Thank you Reina del Cid for just being you.

[@paulobrucha5415]

I just can’t find the words, there are beautiful things, and above that are the sublime ones!

[@sonyahannah]

What intricate rhyming! Splendid cast of characters; stunning musicianship. Happy Hallowe'en!

[@stephenlayland2889]

An actual Halloween _carol,_ somber and joyous at once, around a lyric that is playful while it completely embraces two hundred years of themed iconography. Witty. The piano-subtly-out-of-tune was a nicely eerie touch.

[@ruthc7048]

Truly brilliant, and your literary references all placed so perfectly are exceptional. Kudos and thank you for writing and performing this. My congrats to your guitarist, pianist and orchestral performers. Well done.

[@joaofrancisco8864]

I'm in awe. This song is so brilliantly written and so amazingly produced. I really don't even know what to say, that was just incredible.

[@BibiMountainflower]

I'm close to tears and I don't even know why... Just beautiful, touching the heart and soul.

[@robertocentomo8382]

Reina I'm watching you grow up ...and that piano reminds me to Fellini's movies Greetings from Milan🇮🇹

[@Nathaniel-r8l]

It's a love song to the monsters.

[@philipwhitcombe3614]

You have outdone yourself on this one. It was magic!!!

[@knarf_]

I am completely "haunted" with the melody of your song! I cannot get it out of my mind since you have been posting it. It remains in my head all day long. And I love it! (and the ghosts of Versailles... thanks ☺) knarf from France

[@howardchasser9100]

Holy Crap!! I just saw that you wrote this Reina!!!!! I've listened a few times prior and thought to myself I wonder why I never heard this before. Now I know!!! I started listening to you do tons of covers and have recently heard a lot of your original songs. I am stunned! With your covers you have shown your talent (Toni BIG time as well) as a musician. Your original stuff is OFF the charts - LOVED your naked songwriter video (Queen Hazel, Morse code, Come Back over). I thank you so much for sharing your incredible talents and wish you whatever success you seek.

[@rogerviana1503]

Your channel's musicality is already on another level. Incredible! I loved!

[@juliegarnai7362]

That. Was. Beautiful. Who knew a song about Halloween could be described as beautiful?

[@FLScrabbler]

Finally I get to enjoy complete version! 😍 I've been sharing the tidbits you teased us with on Instagram and via messengers for the last couple of weeks 😇 Thank you and everyone else who helped bring this about..! 💙 🤗 🫶🏻

[@fishercat503]

A sweet waltz for Halloween. Who woulda thunk that up? Reina did!

[@edprzydatek8398]

Quite a production, Reina. A very entertaining song. You may have done for Halloween what Arlo Guthrie did for Thanksgiving. I mean, I'll have to listen to this every Halloween. Applause, applause from up-state New York.

[@budyoung1571]

Genius

[@LittleDaveGuitar]

I've been watching your solo acoustic version of this a lot since I found it a week or so ago.. Just found this version this morning before leaving for work and it just made me start crying.. Happy tears.. Love this so much.. Thanks guys x

[@a.duncan6791]

I wish you could see the movie that played before my eyes as this wonderful tribute to all the "different" children of earth unfolded. Great wordsmithing begets great imagery. This was great at all levels. Brava...

[@mikeduncan3023]

Such a great song. Your originals are what keep me coming back. You are an amazing storyteller.

[@jerrybrownell3633]

Thank you Reina for sharing your time and your music and of course your amazing talent with us. And a special shout out to Toni.

[@robinleebraun7739]

At last, a real Halloween song. There are really very few. I hope it is a breakthrough for you all. You deserve it!

[@peternewell6942]

Its brilliant. One of the best ever Reina.

[@Bobywan75]

Love it. Love the piano, the strings, the bells, the echo, everything. Looking forward for the live, it's been a while, we missed you.

[@benhaughton154]

I have been watching Reina and Toni quietly in the background having discovered them only a couple of months ago. I have never posted a comment on KZbin but after hearing this beautiful piece of music I feel compelled to change all that! This song is simply fantastic! I shall be watching closely for their next tour to the UK and will make my way from Yorkshire to wherever they decide to play next. (Just in case you guys are reading this - there are some brilliant venues in Leeds and a great bluegrass scene too, so please come up north when you next visit!)

[@markharrison8585]

Reina is playing at Brudenell Social CLub on 29 Sep 22

[@benhaughton154]

@@markharrison8585 Great news, thanks!

[@lonniejaster376]

A new holiday classic!

[@jginnever]

Destined to be a classic!

[@raythegardener]

Hallows Eve, The Cooling, Bernadette, Death Cap ... You write about the macabre with such elegance and compassion - OMG, Reina has joined the dark side! Heh heh heh. Welcome to the club. ; )

[@fractalbroccoli469]

Damm you Reina del Cid, damm you. I've listen to this so much it's running round in my head endlessly and genuinely stopping me from sleeping. Good work.

[@jonhumble7199]

What a full on pro production. I love the velvet vocal on this and the lyrics are masterful. Hallows Eve is a great title (as apposed to Halloween) It suits the song which has a touch of an old world Gaelic lilt to it - which makes it sound like a classic already! It's a bloody gorgeous song!

[@NathanielHellerstein]

I weep from excess of joy.

[@macaw2000]

Excellent rhyming chupacabra with candelabra

[@daviddemar8749]

I caught that one too...see my comment above

[@KendalSmithy]

Pure genius.

[@roberttroesch-edamsaskcana3652]

So happy to have you and Toni back. I absolutely love this,everyone involved in this production did an incredible job! I have got your album “The Cooling” on ITUNES what a great album,enjoying it so much. As always thank you Reina & Toni for all the beautiful music, Sunday morning’s just aren’t the same without you.

Beautiful!

Reina, your word-meister skills & passion for Hallows Eve are showing. Thank you all for this brilliant artistic creation.

[@dad5825]

Three months later and this song still captures my rapt attention. Genuine artistry.

[@Roadhardd]

OK, just when you think you’re not gonna like something, you stick around, and find you actually love it.

[@christophermahon1851]

This is my favorite Halloween song. It not only beats out "Boris the Spider"; it edges out "The Monster Mash"

[@dogpatch75]

Wow! Rachelle is one hell of a songwriter! The lyrics roll beautifully!

[@zessonateacloud]

I love this. I have it on repeat. It makes my brain feel all pleasently fuzzy, like a warm embrace.

[@alanfairchild9729]

Destined to become a classic Halloween song so well done Reina, Toni and the excellent backing musicians. Reminiscent of “The Cooling” some time back - another wonderful song beautifully performed. Greetings as always from Norfolk, England.

[@ItsOverFatKid]

Exactly what I was thinking.

[@rogercole6115]

ditto from here in sunny Norfolk, Matsell - you Alan?

[@davidokeeffe4438]

what a masterpiece in every way ,song writing, arrangements, singing ,musicianship in every detail this is incredible !!

[@vanarchism]

I adore this. I've never particularly enjoyed Halloween, but this song might turn me around. Beautiful writing and performing.

[@David-sr8nt]

Uffffff... ya me estaba empezando a asustar... de no escuchar nuevos vídeos de domingo con canciones bonitas!

how beautiful. make friends with your fears, make friends with our monsters, brilliant piece of work. thanks to you all

[@mayflowerlash11]

A new tune from Reina. It's clear she really knows how to write damn good music. The lyrics roll of her tongue. Reina sings with a beautiful soft gentle voice. She's making forever music.

[@digitalhoard1975]

We need this on Spotify, stat!

[@brendonfarrell8215]

It's giving "this is Halloween" with fire! 🔥🔥🔥

Can't find words to say. Thank you!

Well, that's quite nice, an ode to All Hallowes Eve in the form of a Christmas tune. :)

[@fatbaldandover40]

Totally agree mate, I thought it had a Christmassy theme to it. Excellent work gang

[@brantlarson421]

Yes! I was wondering if anyone else felt this way. Great Halloween carol .

Simply wonderful thanks. Now my Irish eyes are Smiling. Martin from the Emerald Isle 🎃👍🍀

[@HRU74181]

It's already a timeless classic.

Stunning! This is probably my last Halloween, and I'm thrilled I got to hear this. Such incredibly talented young people.

Why you say so buddy?

[@rainholdladzinski3802]

Golly gosh Reina is good. Never disappoints regardless of what she sings 🥰
