With Starlight Starbright she dedicated the album to her own children and the songs serve as a magical journey of a child. It is the second video release from the album.
This song was composed by her daughter Autumn when she was just two years old. Candice heard her singing to her dolls and recorded the song. Autumn appears in the video with Candice.
Candice is living the dream and indicates that on her website and it is very apparent in her songs on the new release.
"Once In A Garden" shows children frolicking outside and loving life. Nobody could have put the feelings of a mother into proper perspective better than Candice. This is a beautifully done track featuring one of the most compelling voices in music.

I did...I'll tell you mine...as a child I always dreamed of being a singer. I had a vivid imagination and it was easy for me to transport myself to a simpler, more magical time. I took acting and singing lessons from the age of 4 and became involved in modeling, commerical work and little theater productions. As a teen music was my great escape. I knew I had to be around music for my career so I went to work at a radio station and as chance would have it met my husband. It was 1989. He was in Deep Purple and challenged our radio station to a charity soccer match.
He took me on the road with him in 1993 and when he needed a singer for his Difficult To Cure Solo, asked me to be his voice.
He then reformed Rainbow and needed a lyricist. I co-wrote 4 songs on the Stranger In Us All cd and won my first of many gold records and awards.
In our downtime we wrote music that was a release from the stress of the world. A place of fantasy, of star filled skies, castles on hillsides and honor and chivalry. Breathing new life into melodies from the 12th to 15 hundreds we added new lyrics and instrumentation. This musical escape became our band: Blackmore's Night. We have performed in this incarnation for 18 years releasing cds almost yearly.
We tour castles with an 8 piece band and play a wide variety of music from Renaissance to Rock to Folk to ballads and instrumentals. We wear garb from another time and encourage our audience to do the same to be a part of the journey.
I have also released a solo cd entitled: Reflections and we do a lot of work with animal charities worldwide.
And, yes, I am living my dream....
