Snow
Yet another collective compilation in homage to the foot of it now falling outside here...
close the door put out the light you know they won't be home tonight the snow falls hard and don't you know the Winds of Thor are blowing cold they're wearing steel that's bright and true they carry news that must get through they choose the path where no one goes they hold no quarter walking side by side with death the devil mocks their every step the snow drives back the foot that's slow the Dogs of Doom are howling more they carry news that must get through to build a dream for me and you they choose the path where no one goes they hold no quarter they ask no quarter |

Walking in the Air
We’re walking in the air We’re floating in the moonlit sky The people far below are sleeping as we fly I´m holding very tight I’m riding in the midnight blue I’m finding I can fly so high above with you Far across the world The villages go by like dreams The rivers and the hills The forests and the streams Children gaze open mouth Taken by surprise Nobody down below believes their eyes We’re surfing in the air We’re swimming in the frozen sky We’re drifting over icy mountains floating by Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep Rousing up a mighty monster from his sleep We’re walking in the air We’re floating in the midnight sky And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly I´m holding very tight I’m riding in the midnight blue I’m finding I can fly so high above with you

A Million Parachutes
Like a million parachutes The snow's coming down I'll lock up the front door And turn the lights down In the glow of the street lights I see them descend Like a million parachutes Small men on a mission [Chorus] I miss the warmth And I miss the sun I miss the ocean I miss everyone And I miss the bridges That span across the bay Tonight, it seems like ages ago Like a million parachutes the snow still falls The dogs are asleep now There's no one to call I'll put on some records And wait for the light Under those million parachutes Now a blanket of white. - Sixpence None The Richer |

could you see the aisles of women
could you see them screaming and weeping could you see the storm rising could you see the guy who was driving could you climb higher and higher could you climb right over the top why does a multi millionaire fill up his home with priceless junk the wind is whistling the wind is whistling through the house Elvis are you out there somewhere looking like a happy man in the snow with Rosebud and king of the mountain another Hollywood waitress is telling us she’s having your baby and there is a rumour that you’re on ice and you will rise again someday and then there’s a photograph where you’re dancing on your grave the wind is whistling the wind is whistling through the house Elvis are you out there somewhere looking like a happy man in the snow with Rosebud and king of the mountain the wind it blows the wind it blows the door closed The Incomparable Kate - Aerial - King of the Mountain |

sheltered 'neath your outspread wing where the north wind grows not old in your arms I hope to find her for your kingdom is so cold all is frozen by your hand is her hair still raven-black and does no one mourn her passing snowgatherer where do you lie with her snowgatherer winter will not contain her in this strange and barren land hailstones rage upon my face higher still your gathering and I wish I could forget her all I see is broken worlds reaching into wilderness yet her arms are 'round me now fearing for my life, I love her snowgatherer where do you lie with her snowgatherer winter will not contain her Mouth Music - Seafaring Man - Snowgatherer |

snow can wait
I forgot my mittens wipe my nose get my new boots on I get a little warm in my heart when I think of winter I put my hand in my father's glove I run off where the drifts get deeper Sleeping Beauty trips me with a frown I hear a voice "you must learn to stand up for yourself 'cause I can't alyways be around" he says when you gonna make up your mind when you gonna love you as much as I do when you gonna make up your mind 'cause things are gonna change so fast all the white horses are still in bed I tell you that I'll always want you near you say that things change my dear boys get discovered as winter melts flowers competing for the sun years go by and I'm here still waiting withering where some snowman was mirror mirror where's the crystal palace but I only can see myself skating around the truth who I am but I know dad the ice is getting thin hair is grey and the fires are burning so many dreams on the shelf you say I wanted you to be proud I always wanted that myself when you gonna make up your mind when you gonna love you as much as I do when you gonna make up your mind 'cause things are gonna change so fast all the white horses have gone ahead I tell you that I'll always want you near you say that things change my dear never change all the white horses Tori - Little Earthquakes - Winter |

Winter weather troubles (humor)
Snow, Both Sides Now
Tune: "Both Sides Now" (Parody lyrics by Drakonix) Rows and floes of angel hair And ice cream castles everywhere Its fun to visit it somewhere Ive looked at snow that way But now it only blocks my fun Its everywhere, on everyone So many things I could have done But snow got in my way Ive looked at snow from both sides now Have no funds to fix the snowplow Its not illusions I recall I really don't like snow at all Its cold outside all damn day Heating bills so high I cant pay Theres got to be a better way Like moving far away But now here comes some more damn snow Roads are blocked nowhere I can go Powers out cant watch TV shows Ill be stuck here for days Ive looked at snow from both sides now Ill have to move away somehow Its not illusions I recall I really dont like snow at all Its cold and wind is blowing fast I slipped on ice, busted my ass Now my bum is in a cast More big bills I cant pay The roads are cleared but I need chains The stores are out, more winter pains Theres only loss and never gains In wintertime days Ive looked at snow from both sides now I must wait for spring to move now Its not illusions I recall Ill go where theres no snow at all

Pink Floyd - Yet Another Movie
A man in black on a snow white horse,
a pointless life has run it's course, the red rimmed eyes, the tears still run as he fades into the setting sun |

oh, so we're going deep into the archives for some Dead?
Brown-Eyed Women - Grateful Dead Gone are the days when the ox fall down Take up the yoke and plough the fields around Gone are the days when the ladies said "please Gentle Jack Jones won't you come to me" Chorus Brown-eyed women and red grenadine The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down And it looks like the old man's getting on Nineteen twenty when he stepped to the bar Drank to the dregs of the whiskey jar Nineteen thirty when the wall caved in He made his way selling red-eyed gin [chorus] Delilah Jones was the mother of twins Two times over and the rest were sins Raised eight boys, only I turned bad Didn't get the lickings that the other ones had [chorus] Tumble-down shack in Big Foot County Snowed so hard that the roof caved in Delilah Jones went to meet her God And the old man never was the same again Daddy made whiskey and he made it well Cost two dollars and it burned like hell (note e) I cut hickory just to fire the still Drink down a bottle and you're ready to kill |

Knife: Time share? I'll trade ya. Snow is nice to look at but Drak pretty much summed up my general feeling of actually living in it. (Looking forward to a recording by Tenacious D). Does make for some damned good songs though. Does anyone else make playlists of these things?
I took my love I took it down climbed a mountain and I turned around and I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills till the landslide brought me down oh mirror in the sky what is love can the child within my heart rise above can I sail through the changing ocean tides can I handle the seasons of my life well I've been afraid of changing 'cause I've built my life around you but time makes you bolder children get older and I'm getting older too take my love take it down climb a mountain and turn around and if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills well the landslide will bring it down if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills well maybe the landslide will bring it down FM - Eponymous - Landslide |

great tune!! i can dig it How about the Jethro Tull Christmas Album Jack Frost And The Hooded Crow Through long December nights we talk in words of rain or snow while you, through chattering teeth, reply and curse as you go. Why not spare a thought this day for those who have no flame to warm their bones at Christmas time? Say Jack Frost and the Hooded Crow. ------------- Weathercock Do you simply reflect changes in the patterns of the sky? Or is it true to say the weather heeds the twinkle in your eye? Do you fight the rush of winter; and hold snowflakes at bay? Do you lift the dawn sun from the fields and help him on his way? -------------- First Snow On Brooklyn And the first snow on Brooklyn paints a Christmas card upon the pavement. The cab leaves a disappearing trace and then it’s gone. And the snow covers my footprints, deep regrets and heavy heartbeats. When you wake you’ll never see the spot that I was standing on. -------------- A Winter Snowscape instumental |

Obligatory of course, for Nanook
dreamed I was an eskimo
frozen wind began to blow under my boots and around my toes the frost that bit the ground below it was a hundred degrees below zero and my mama cried and my mama cried Nanook! a-no-no Nanook! a-no-no don't be a naughty eskimo save your money don't go to the show well I turned around and I said oh oh oh well I turned around and I said oh oh oh well I turned around and I said ho ho and the northern lights commenced to glow and she said with a tear in her eye watch out where the huskies go and don't you eat that yellow snow FZ - Apostrophe |

I was one as you were one
And we were two so much in love forever I loved the white socks that you wore But you don't wear white socks no more, now you're a woman I joked about your turned-up nose And criticized your school girl clothes But would I then have paced these roads to love you For seasons come and seasons go Bring forth the rain the sun and snow Make Valerie a woman And Valerie is lonely No more to roam on the snow hills of Hienton Undecided with the guardians of the older generation A doormat was a sign of welcome In the winter months to come And in the summer laughing Through the castle ruins we'd run For the quadrangle sang to the sun And the grace of our feeling And the candle burned low as we talked of the future Underneath the ceiling There were tears in the sky And the clouds in your eyes were just cover For your thighs were the cushions Of my love and yours for each other The songs still are sung It was fun to be young But please dont be sad where `ere you are I am who I am You are who you are Now Valerie's a woman Now Valerie's a woman Now Valerie's a woman First Episode At Hienton - Bernie Taupin, from the album Elton John |
