about

Just like every aspect of life, snow is fleeting. It comes in a fresh blanket one day and stays for just a little while. Even when you feel like the brown slush in the roads will be around forever, slowly, slowly, slowly, it disappears. And then one day it is spring and then summer and snow seems like the furthest possible thing away from the day. Fall comes back around and if you are patient, the snow will come again in the winter. In Tennessee it doesn’t snow all that much. We get a dusting a few times a year and some years we get lucky enough to get that full, crisp, white blanket that softens the world and quiets the streets and slows down the rush of everyday traffic. It comes and then it goes - melting back into the world. Tennessee Snow buries the rush of the holiday season under fresh snowfall and spends time enjoying a slower moment making memories and promising to hold onto the love of the season even when the snow and the season fade away.

Sometimes songs fight you. This one did for a while. I must not have been ready to hear what I was trying to say when I first started on the idea. With a leftover studio day coming up and all the tracking for Cozy Inside and Rosemary & Evergreen complete, I decided to go back to the “unfinished” folder and see what ideas I might be able to coax into the “finished” folder. Tennessee Snow came together on Sunday evening, tracking was started on Monday, and on Tuesday of that same week we were moving into mixing and production. I love the big, echoing, atmospheric instrumentation that gives Tennessee Snow the muted yet forward sound of listening to any sound on a snow covered day.

lyrics

Wake up in the morning and the world is a snow globe
Stay cuddled under blankets trying to keep cold from our toes
I could stay right here forever
With our arms and legs all intertwined

But the Tennessee Snow - I know
It won’t last for long so hold me close
Oh the Tennessee snow it comes and it goes
Promise we’ll be right here year after year.

(ooooh ohhhhhh ooohhhhhhh)

Hurry up and get your boots on before the cars ruin the roads
I want to be only pairs of footprints wandering through the snow
And I could stay right here forever
With your gloved hand holding mine

But the Tennessee Snow - I know
It won’t last for long so hold me close
In the Tennessee snow it comes and it goes
Promise we’ll be right here year after year

(ooooh oooooohhhhhh ooohhhhh)
(ooooh ooooooohhh ooohhhhhhh)

One last sparkle as the sun sets now the light is fading fast
Leave the snowman standing guard invite in the ghost of Christmas past
And I could stay right here forever
Watching candle light dancing in your eyes

But the Tennessee Snow - I know
It won’t last for long so hold me close
In the Tennessee snow it comes and it goes
Promise we’ll be right here year after year
Oh year after year
(ooooh oooooohhhhhh ooohhhhh)

The Tennessee snow it comes and it goes
Promise we’ll be right here year after year
