Over the past couple of years that young lady has become an international phenomenon, with millions of YouTube views, glowing media coverage and a best-selling album—a feat made all the more remarkable by the fact that Connie Talbot was all of 7 years old.
Since then the Connie Talbot phenomenon has skyrocketed not only in the U.K., where Over the Rainbow went gold in three weeks, but in other European and Asian countries as well and also in the US. In America Connie’s album reached the #7 spot on the Heatseakers chart in Billboard Magazine and the single ‘Three Little Birds’ reached the #1 spot on the Hot 100 Singles Sales Chart. Recently the Guinness Book of World Records certified Talbot as the new reigning champion in the categories of youngest artist in the UK ever to reach the charts and the youngest to receive a gold record.
In the fall Connie released her new holiday themed album in the US. The CD is titled Connie Talbot's Holiday Magic and features Connie's interpretation on holiday classics and fan favorites. Connie has also recorded an hour long television special for PBS, making her (at 8 years old) the youngest artist to ever do so.
In early summer Connie announced she would be releasing a holiday themed album in America. The CD is titled Connie Talbot’s Holiday Magic and will feature Connie’s Along with the album Connie will be recording an hour long television special for PBS.
The holiday album and new television special will cap off an incredibly prolific and successful year for the rising star. Recently named child ambassador for the 2009 Marine Toys for Tots campaign, Connie plans to donate part of the proceeds from CD sales in support of the worthy charity.
When a Child Is Born
Connie Talbot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A tiny star lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds of change whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn
A rosy hue settles all around
You start to feel you're on solid ground
For a spell or two no one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born
It's all a dream, an illusion now
It must come true, sometime soon somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born
When a child is born
These lyrics from Connie Talbot's song "When a Child is Born" speak about the hope and wonder that comes with the birth of a new child. The first verse describes the tiny spark of light that a newborn brings to the world, bringing with it a sense of renewal and the potential for greatness. The second verse talks about the power of a child to inspire change and break down barriers, as the winds of change stir and old doubts begin to crumble. Finally, the chorus celebrates the feeling of peace and contentment that comes with the arrival of a new baby, describing it as a dream come true and a "brand new morn."
