I sang 'O Holy Night' with the Vatican orchestra, but also a Blake - a lullaby that William Blake wrote for the Christ child, and I set it to music, and the Vatican orchestra played the music.

In the 18th Century William Blake saw the world in a grain of sand. Most people nowadays can't even see the writing on the wall.

Ah, make the most of what we yet may spend,
Before we too into the Dust descend;
Dust into Dust, and under Dust to lie
Sans Wine, sans Song, sans Singer, and--sans End!

Alike for those who for To-day prepare,
And those that after some To-morrow stare,
A Muezzin from the Tower of Darkness cries
"Fools! your Reward is neither Here nor There.

Christina [Aguilera] sang her butt off -

I'm not saying I wasn't flawed or amateurish. But you can never say I did anything to appease the music business.

The mystical poetry of William Blake's artwork also forms the basis for the album cover.
