snowing in my heart
"throw open the windows
put your favorite record on"
this song is the eldest of the bunch
written in october of 2004
as i was wrapping up beautiful noise
i was so excited about it
i recorded it straight away
jayme loved it
and was disappointed that i didn't include it on BN
but in my chilly little heart (pun intended)
it felt like "snowing..." was the beginning of the "next step"
i promised her it would be on the next record
she didn't believe me
but i meant it
i re-visited the recording i made in '04 in '06
i replaced the digital piano with the real thing
i'd recently aquired
F's old upright
a big improvement to the studio
one day i phoned him up and he proclaimed
"my piano is on ebay - BUY IT NOW for $1000"
he'd paid 7 for it
i didn't expect to buy a piano that day
but i couldn't pass it up
(thanks for the $$ mom!)
"laughing in the face of
everything that scares you"
this song is about the longing to be a child again
to be free from the shackles of adult fear
and baggage
i wrote it gavie's room
when i discovered a sound on his mini casio keyboard
the melody appeared just like that
it's a crystal clear memory i still have
of sitting on his bedroom floor
pecking out this little melody
while he happily played
i didn't really know what the lyrics were about
until i had time to figure it all output your favorite record on"

I'm glad you didn't put "Snowing..." on BN. BN is complete as is. Even the bonus song, as much as I like it, just doesn't feel quite right at the end of BN.

Jesse used to have one of those Casio keyboards. I remember sitting on his bedroom floor and playing it.

I re-listened to the Snowing album yesterday. The song fits perfectly on that album (it's placed perfectly too). Good choice.
