While I don't necessarily disagree with "irishrose," I do like this song, much more so than I thought I would. I'm not a big Tori Amos fan. In fact, she used to bug me big time back-in-the-day, for whatever reason. But maybe my tastes have changed. I've always admired her strength and versatility. And while she didn't used to be my thing, I've always been able to recognize her skills and talents as a singer, songwriter, and pianist. I also got to meet her once, super sweet lady. "Snow Angel" is a lovely song, expertly delivered. It's dynamic, original, and different from other holiday songs. As for it being depressing, most Christmas songs are kinda depressing. There can be immense beauty and hope in sadness. And sadness, especially in this day and age, and at this time of year, is something we can all relate to and share on some level. "I'll Be Home for Christmas (If Only in My Dreams)," "Blue Christmas," "Auld Lang Syne," the list goes on and on and on. It's a melancholy time of year. It's a time of change and new birth. But I digress, sorry. Download this baby, you'll more than get your money's worth. Much more so than at/on iTunes... in my humble, friendly opinion. Thanks again Amazon!

If you like Tori Amos then you can't go wrong picking up this free christmas track. As others have said it is beautiful and a bit melancholy, neither of which are that unusual for Tori Amos.

It is mostly Tori singing and a piano with some backing strings.

Unlike most of the free christmas tunes I've gotten from Amazon lately, I actually gave this a second listen immediately and it will probably stay in rotation even outside the season.

I'll probably have to give the whole album a listen as a result of this track.

This piece was a part of a holiday sampler that I got and I like it.

I don't mind the melancholy sound and feel of the song. I don't mind the words or message. What bothered me about this was Tori Amos' singing. It was like she refused to open her mouth all the way, instead opting to mutter on a lot of phrases. She also has an odd placement of emphasis on words as if she sings with an accent that made it hard to understand and follow. I admit, I am not a fan or familiar with Tori Amos. If this is how she signs and you dig it - cool. Since this was my first introduction to her I have to say I'm not impressed. This is not a terrible song, I just didn't enjoy it much. Free is the right price, anything higher and I wouldn't recommend it.

We downloaded this free and my 10 year old son loved it. He has put it on his ipod to listen to repeatedly. This song is a little sad but it is a classic Tori Amos song. If you like Tori Amos you will most likely enjoy this song.

With so much pure junk out there in the music industry, this song is quite refreshing. It's composition, Tori's originality in interpreting Holiday themes, simply said, makes this song a Masterpiece. No one can hold a candle to this women's talent!! Yes, this song has a sad tone to it, but listen to the conviction in Tori's voice and her amazing piano playing and you will be treated to perfection in the artistry of music. This song is NOT just another predictable Christmas song. Midwinter Graces is not just a Christmas record, but a celebration of the holidays at large. The album itself demonstrates perfection in all of it's beauty. Each song is masterfully written and weighs heavy on the heart, be it happy or sad. I am glad Amazon featured it as day 2 of free downloads, it is outstanding. Thank You Amazon for that!

lovely, sweet with a tad of sadness..... i love this song, and the whole record. I'm not into christmas, at the best of times i'm neutral, but this record gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside hardly anything can these days. It's been a very rough year, and only Tori can sweeten things up.

This song is so moving I cried the first time I heard it in the context of the album.
Just amazing. Other notable songs on this album are pink and glitter, winter's carol, and star of wonder.

A good winter song by a great singstress. A nice addition to the X-mas playlist.

Seemed kind of depressing to me. Reminded me nothing of Christmas. Sorry, not for me.
