@GrumpyMac Exactly. Not Christmas related 
@brianlarsen Uuh, I love the one metaphor. Hmm, under what kind of snow is this secret buried? How long will the secret lastā¦? Great lyrics.
Nice one, Gordon @sairfingers
@LadyOfTheCastle Iām more than just a tiny bit jealous. I have never seen Nick Cave live yet. Itās almost a wonder that he still alive. Was it good?
Aahā¦ And I really like the āfirst snowā song. Luckily it features slightly dissonant jingling and jangling only.
@TheMadman_tobyjenner Toby, you actually did post the song when you replied to something in my LL. I think it was in January or so. That led me yo do a deep, deep dive into the music of NMA 
@roger_holland If fun fighting with Brian leads to you digging out as good music as the Snowy White song. Please you keep doing what you are doing 
And ā¦ @GrumpyMac again: noooā¦ nooo ā¦nooo ā¦ This will be stuck in my ears for the rest of the day

It was the first time I saw him. Heās absolutely fabulous live. He can get the audience to explode, and be completely silent 5 min later. No idea how he can still be alive indeed after the live heās led, let alone be so energetic on stage (for 2h40min, no less). If you get the chance, go see him - itās worth it!

He played here in June, which I noticed only when everything was completely sold outā¦
Building the bridge saying that snow maybe has maybe never been among Caveās preferred substances, I think the video below illustrates well what you describe.

That is a lovely photo Nicole, but itās too early for snow! Weāve had snow in the forecast a couple of times so far, including for today, but no actual snow so far. Iād be quite happy if the snow doesnāt come until a few days before Christmas. Last year we had the first green (brown) Christmas in a long long long time!
Terrific Snowy White tune Rogier. The other one with the 7 vertically challenged guys (see how pc I am!)
was great too. Never heard it in Dutch before.

Thank youā¦I just wanted to let you know that I felt a serious twinge in my back from laughing 
Nanook of the North before breakfast? Is that even legal? Zappa is a genius!

It is a bit early, true - and looking a the weather forecast, the snow will melt away again quite soon. I wouldnāt mind if it stayed a bit then days until around winter solstice with wouldnāt be that darkā¦
Funny that you call it green (brown) Christmas. Here Christmas without snow is called āmusta jouluā = black Christmas

Hi Nicoleā¦
People often think of this as a Christmas song but itās actually a song about a Winter romanceā¦
my offering:
Stay warm!!!

Hey Nicole if you cant find a snowy song why not write one its just a poem set to music use Justin's dice method in the key of C heres a starter
āThe early morning snow lies sparkling on the ground a sky so blue my thoughts turn to youā a bit corny I know you already have the title ,the first snow is the sweetest

Good idea, John @Guitarman63 , especially since I already shamelessly took inspiration for the title of this thread from āFirst cut is the deepestā 
Dice song writing is not my cup of tea though, itās too arbitrary for me. Currently , Iām very busy over there working on a different song with a group of other beginner songwriters (Anyone in for a beginner songwriting challenge?), but Iāll absolutely keep the DIY-song suggestion in mind 
@CATMAN62 : Nooooooooooā¦not yet another earworm song 
I thought the title sounded familiar

Hi Nicole
Lovely thread ā¦ managed to get me to post something rather than mostly silently witness this extraordinary community
This is one of my favourite songs by one of my favourite artists. Canadaās own Julie Doiren.
It is kind of an ode to snow. Julie is at heart an Indie Rocker but many of her Solo Records have really sweet songs of domestic observation like this one. It is easy enough to play on guitar you can really get lost in the chord progression.
Lyrics
When the snow falls this November
Itās such a great place to be
And when the snow falls this November
I see you and me
Open the dark curtain
The skyās just getting light
We stay right where we are
All the way till tonight
Through the window
We watch the snow
Kids walking in snowpants
We donāt go nowhere
Not today, not tonight
Wonāt tie up my hair
Wonāt get dressed too
Iāll just stay here next to you
We donāt go nowhere
Let the baby sleep
Let the dogs rest too
Through the window
We watch the show
Kids walking in snowpants
We donāt go nowhere
Not today not tonight
Happy winter every one

I like old stuff like thisā¦ Dean Martin
Certainly, in Canada, they have more songs about snow and winter than thisā¦
Robert Charlebois, star in the 60s (and later)
āTomorrow - winterā¦ I leave you, Iāll go into the sunā¦ā
