Lyrics

There is no answer
There is no place
I can turn to
Where I can face
As mother nature strikes
With a storm on the rise
While something in me
Freezes and dies

It was the coldest day
I'd ever felt
My heart cried out
As snow would mount
With no beginning
Or likely end
To feeling cold
That warmth could mend

I have the solution
I will accept
All that I feel
After I've wept
Let nature take its course
Is what echoes in me
Merging with this front
Can set me free

It was the coldest day
I'd ever felt
My heart cried out
As snow would mount
With no beginning
Or likely end
To feeling cold
That warmth could mend

It will pass
It will pass
Like the rain, sleet, and snow
That I'm watching from my window
In this wintry show

It was the coldest day
I'd ever felt
My heart cried out
As snow would mount
With no beginning
Or likely end
To feeling cold
That warmth could mend

Chillingly good, @daveyboy103 , and definitely theatrical-sounding production. Dug the vocals and all the bells and whistles that enhanced this write even more at getting a cold point across. Nice job with bringing @sunfire 's work to song life!

Jeepers, that piano arpeggio is gorgeous...

Great musical arrangement (and vocal) over wonderful lyrics. Great collaboration! ❤️

@daveyboy103 6d

@billwhite51 Definitely achieved a level of chill on this.

you took those words right off the page and sent them flying with musical wings. i believe it is your sense of dynamics that take the lyrics higher and higher with each musical phrase. by the end of the song, we are freezing on the top of some snow-capped mountain in the alps.

Excellent words, written with a smooth flow and rhythm. The music is a great match. The mood/vibe, with the gentle start to the dynamic rise, is perfect.

@daveyboy103 6d

@sunfire Glad you like it
