This song has always sounded fun to me and this year I decided to record it for the first time. It’s a nice upbeat song that was just enjoyable to sing. https://media.blubrry.com/3562447/www.desireerenae.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/01-Its-The-Most-Wonderful-Time-Of-The-Year.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe: RSS | Please Subscribe to Learning Blind Tech with Desiree Renae

I am a Mom, a professional and in my heart a performer. I enjoy singing and recording, not only for myself but I really feel it can bring joy to those around me. I was born blind, which comes with its own challenges and sometimes barriers. I am always looking for opportunities to give those around me positive energy. When others feel good, I feel good.
Sleigh Ride
This is a very fun Christmas song. I struggled a bit in recording it, especially where the key changes when I sing about the birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray. It took several takes, but I did manage to get it to an acceptable place. https://media.blubrry.com/3562447/www.desireerenae.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Sleighride.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe: RSS… Continue reading Sleigh Ride
To Make You Feel My Love
I have heard this song performed by several artists and decided to record it myself this year. I really enjoy singing with just piano accompaniment. https://media.blubrry.com/3562447/www.desireerenae.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/to-make-you-feel-my-love-1.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe: RSS | Please Subscribe to Learning Blind Tech with Desiree Renae
Baby Mine
All three of my daughters responded to music and often my singing to them. Of course I sang the standard lullabies, but sometimes I wanted to sing something a bit different. This song was especially effective with my middle daughter. She would be crying and all worked up and I’d start singing this song to… Continue reading Baby Mine
I Need To Be In Love
Last year, I read the book “Little Girl Blue,” a biography of Karen Carpenter. Learning about her life, her struggles, her most heart-felt desire to know what love truly can be; it really touched me. This song was what she called her signature song. Her longing to know what it was to be in love… Continue reading I Need To Be In Love
Crazy
This is always a very popular song with people. Not only is it a classic, but the words are relatable to almost everyone at some point in their lives. https://media.blubrry.com/3562447/www.desireerenae.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Crazy.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadSubscribe: RSS | Please Subscribe to Learning Blind Tech with Desiree Renae
Du Bists
This is another recording from my college recital in 2000. This piece is in German. I had a lot of fun performing this one.
Top of the World
This is my very favorite song by The Carpenters. It carries more significance for me since last year, when I first met my now fiance. I suddenly knew what the song was trying to convey. We both found ourselves singing it every day and those around us would laugh at our big grins as we… Continue reading Top of the World
Merry Christmas Darling
Another favorite Christmas song of mine. Christmas is a time we usually get to spend with those we love, but the mixed emotions that come when you are not able to spend the holiday season with those you love are real and this song exemplifies them. So I sing this song to all those who,… Continue reading Merry Christmas Darling
Cradel Song (in French)
I attended the University of Texas at Austin and graduated in 2000. I had to put on 2 recitals in order to receive my Bachalor’s degree in vocal performance. This is one of the pieces I performed in 2000. This selection is in French; we had to sing in multiple languages.
