WHAT DOES TIDINGS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

tidings

Tidings

Tidings is the third studio album by Allison Crowe, released in 2003 in EP form and expanded to full album length in 2004. Recorded live-off-the-floor, it is primarily an album of traditional songs of the season and Christmas carols alongside cover versions of some of Crowe's favourite songs of spirituality and redemption. This collection includes several songs by fellow Canadian songwriters, along with international writers. Among these is a single/first take recording of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah that is the best known of the artist's numerous acclaimed song interpretations. It has been commented upon extensively in print and broadcast media, including a November 2008 BBC radio documentary, "The Fourth, The Fifth, The Minor Fall". Crowe's recording of Hallelujah was selected as the soundtrack accompaniment to a love scene in The Watchmen, before being replaced by Cohen's own live version. "I originally had a different version of 'Hallelujah' on that scene - it was the version by Allison Crowe, and it was really beautiful. Too beautiful, as it turned out..." says the movie's Director Zack Snyder.

Jeff Abbott
It's not at all uncommon for a writer to get a ton of publicity for one book and then not get as much for the next one.

If I do that well, I feel, good tidings generally will follow and readers will stick with me.
