Dear Candice,
First of all, thank you so much for being
willing to answer questions from your fans!
That is very sweet of you! Lots of hugs for
you, Richie and your beautiful daughter!
I was wondering if you were born in the
U.S.A. and if so, where? Your way of
speaking and writing is so eloquent and
beautiful, it seems if it is from another
time and place. I can imagine you looking
over a windswept moor as you are typing on
the computer, though you probably are not.
:-) I am not sure, though, I think that you
said that you live on an island!
My cat, Jules, passed away two years ago and
I wanted to say that your music really
helped me work through the pain of losing
her. It was very inspiring to me and helped
me heal when I wanted to cry so thank you so
much for gifting everyone with your
beautiful voice and for having such great
band members to accompany you and Richie.
Please thank them for me!
I also wanted to let you know that I am
afraid of the dark for the same reasons that
you are and I always keep my light on when
my boyfriend is not here with me. It makes
me feel safe, too!
May Blackmore's Night be #1 for years to
come!
Love,
Julia
Hello Julia,
Thank you for your kind words...
I was born on Long Island, New York. I was
always surrounded by nature and by the
beaches so nature and the freedom it gives
is always an inspiration in my songs.
Although I was born here, I met Ritchie
while he was living in Connecticut. I lived
there with him for 2 years and moved right
back to my home area! Taking him with me, of
course....
One of the hardest things is to lose an
animal that is so close to you. They are
true soul mates. We wrote our song Again
Someday about losing our Himalayan cat,
Bamboozler. He has kidney failure and I gave
him injections and subcutaneous fluids for 6
months before he passed. It was so
incredibly difficult. But both Ritchie and I
swore that although he had passed at home,
in our den, we could swear that we could
still hear him purring after he was gone. It
was very strange and comforting at the same
time.
Hope you are healing ...it just takes
time...and they are always around us.
Perhaps in the dark, protecting us...
Love and light,
Candice |
Hello, Candice dear.
I am a huge fan of you and your music. I'm
not even sure it's okay to refer to it as
music, as it is so much more.
It's a state of mind, a lifestyle and almost
like a religion.
It surely opens up all your senses and makes
you happier than you've ever been before.
What it really means is; Your music makes me
come to life and aprecciate all the beauty
in this world.
Thank you for helping me find a true meaning
of life.
And there is one thing I really have to ask
you, bebause I've always wondered:
Where do you find all your beautiful dresses
that make you look like some sort of godess?
Your dresses are the most beautiful
masterpieces of clothing I have ever seen,
and I would love to be able to wear one of
those some day.
What sweet
words...thank you for the amazing
sentiments...
My clothing has been put together after
years of trying different things. Finally, I
got the corsets from a gothic shop and had a
dressmaker make them in different colors
that I chose. The blouses I got at a local
store and they just worked perfectly under
the corsets so i had them duplicated as
well. And the skirts I got at Renaissance
Faires. But I would suggest making your own
style. Putting bits and pieces together to
really create your own look. Make your own
style, as with anything in life...
Love and light,
Candice
Dear Candice
Since I have started singing lessons I've
been desperate to find out where I can
purchase sheet music for voice and piano for
your songs?
Love your musci!
Liz from Reading in the UK.

Dear Candice!
I`m Anastasia from Tver, Russia.
I would like to thank you and Ritchie for
the wonderful music and especially you for
lyrics! Watching your clips I admire your
energy and joyful spirit. Nowadays I feel
lack of energy and therefore it`s so
important to me to find out a source of it.
Sometimes I go to the work listening your
songs and they help me to make the next step
with hope and to make me smile or dream. And
your songs help me to believe that my true
love will come. I`m 32 years old and I`m
single but we both know that every fairy has
her amazing love and I`ll meet him someday.
One of my favourite songs is “The crowning
of the king”. Would you be as so kind as to
tell me what scenes you imagined writing
these verses? It seems this coronation is so
beautiful! I heard this Tussato extract
several years ago played by our Russian
renaissance band and it was so pleasant to
join in a song silently.
There are several of my haiku, hope you`ll
enjoy them.
I wish you, Ritchie and your little daughter
health and joy!
With love, Anastasia
Hello Anastasia,
Thank you so much for your words... yes true
love is hard to find, but worth the wait !
The Crowning of the King, like any of the
songs I have written lyrically, came from
the inspiration of the music. Usually
Ritchie will come up with the music or the
inspiration of the music from a traditional
song, and I will then take that melody and
see what visuals it is painting in my
mind...what it wants to be about. And for
Crowing of the King, it was such a
celebration! Such a bombastic pagentry that
it simply had to be about a historical
moment of excitement like the crowing of a
king. So I created the storyline around that
excited energy of that moment in
time...hundreds of years ago....
Love and light,
Candice
