ReplyDeleteWow, your're the first person I've ever seen post the Sandycoates song "Another Snowman"....amazingly gentle track...I played it on my Christmas radio show last year.
ReplyDeleteThanks BVSC... and anonymous, yeah, I like "Snowman" for its sad and wistful tone (and that line about melting away) -- it seemed a perfect bridge between the child-like Yumbo track and the loss of innocence highlighted in the Lowlights song.
ReplyDeleteHi
