On Snow by Lowland Hum
Written during a six day power outage in the middle of January, On Snow chronicles the blended experience of magic and danger that a heavy winter storm can bring. In both lyric and sound it conjures the comfort and warmth of fire, the stillness of pitch dark mornings and evenings, and the unrelenting powers of nature as mature trees bend and snap all around outside under the weight of snow and ice.

Lyrics
Snow on snow on snow
Ice ferns on the window
Warm inside, where the golden embers glow
Come on snow on snow
Black bird circle whirl
Down the drain they swirl
Smoke stretching, tired arms to the sky
Raptured up in white
Snow on snow on snow
Keep an eye on the window
And an ear on the trees, buckling at their knees
Underneath their heavy load
God only knows
How strong a tree grows
Hard as stone
Then soft as a rose
One more diamond and down it goes
In the black heart of a ring of fire
That is licking wild and wider
Center still, as sleep, as death
Rattle crack the rest
Molten stays the breast
