Melt Away!

Liner Notes

This is song I've been plucking around with for a little while now, but have finally finished writing it. It's about a snowman and his lover melting away together. I seldom write love songs so I felt the most appropriate way to do so in my writing style was through the imagery of snowmen! There's this deep innocence to snowmen so I find the whole idea of them being personified and feeling this impending death to be uniquely devastating. This recording is only acoustic with some shakers. I'd like to have a proper rock band arrangement for this in the future, probably with some horns as well.

Lyrics

Melt away!
I’m beginning to melt away
Melt away!
Until there’s nothing left

"Haven't we come this far?
Haven’t you seen me pouring down the road before?
Haven’t you seen this film?
Don’t you know how much there is to see before it ends"

I say as you melt away
As the sky pushes clouds away
The sun shines its precious beam on your face
And it finally melts you away
Until there’s nothing left

Haven't I come this far?
Will you ever see me pouring down the road, again and again and again?
Haven’t I lived this long?
Hasn't time turned all my white to gray?
Where did I lose my nose?
Haven't I stood here long enough?

And I've stood here for months
There's nowhere I'm going
Like all those around me
I'll die right where I stand

And I melt away!
I'm beginning to melt away and I
Melt away!
I'm beginning to melt away
There comes the sun
I'll see you, my love
Haven't you seen me pouring down the road, and poking through the snow, as
the grass beneath me grows
Melt away, melt away
Into the spring skies of today
Here comes the sun
It's been so fun
But I've melted away
