about

Winter 2010 has been a pretty thorough one in Finland. Especially snow has been quite plentiful and has caused quite a bit of chaos in people's everyday lives, so we decided it deserved a song dedication from us, so we give you a piece of orchestral goodness: Fade To White.

Musically, we did out best to channel the grandeur of one of our favorite bands, The Divine Comedy. If you're not familiar with them, please check them out and fall in love forever.

We also pinched a nice little public domain melody for the verses from a composer that went by the name W.A. Mozart.

Hold tight, next month you'll be in for a ride. If you thought we're slippery like a well worn piece of soap, you haven't hear anything yet!!!

Take care, y'all!

(...and yes, the "march in March" pun is very much intended)

lyrics

the world covered in snow sighs in its sleep
all colours have gone and hide in defeat

we wait surrounded by white with our lives on hold
snowploughs serenade outside the window

just don't go outside
the blizzard will try to eat you alive
and cover you with a beautiful shroud
you'll fade to white

white is the wind that rips through the bones
how lucky we are in the warmth of ourhomes

just don't go outside
the blizzard will try to eat you alive
and cover you with a beautiful shroud
you'll fade to white
fade to white

lost in the frost
the season has it's cost
we are in its thrall
the winter takes it all

no don't go outside
the blizzard will try to eat you alive
keeps you in the whiteout
sooner or later it has to get clearer
oh don't fade to white
don't fade to white
we'll be alright in the spring
