Nice, Bob! Consider moving the stanza with the melodic lift to be the third stanza; rules are made to break, of course, but sticking to the rule of two may be warranted since this is a slower piece. Good lyrics with some cool furniture!

Exceptional lyric writing. Love that acoustic. I'll have to use that sometime.

"I let the faucet drip like a grandfather clock Only 8 degrees it’s too cold for a walk Our Navajo blanket and a murder of crows Tell me tonight that it looks like snow"
Terrific imagery!
You have such a wonderful conversational tone in so many songs and often we’re reminded of Lucinda Williams.
The vocal change at the “spring” verse was very effective in bringing to mind the vivid scenery change. The outro “na na’s” were great too.
Perfect band for the lyric.
Merry Christmas!
J&B

Hi Bob,
What a wonderful song you made! The lyrics are beautiful. I really like the picture you've painted in there.
And man, what a nice play on the guitar. Very nice to listen to. I read that someone considered it to be one of your best songs. I always hesitate to use those words. Especially since you have so many good songs. But I do think this one belongs high on the list!
I wish you very happy days and until 2024, Hans

Mellow like slowly falling snowflakes. Very nice imagery in the story. What a pleasure to listen to your voice, the whole wide range. The instrumentation supports the vocal very naturally, the percussions work perfectly. Your recognizable style is warmly present, but still this has something new and magical that warms even more.

Janice & Bud,
I appreciate that thoughtful and kind review. Lucinda is a favorite of mine - that's a great compliment.
Merry Christmas to you.

Beautiful song Bob. Wonderful imagery in your lyrics. We are lucky to live on the edge of a forest. See wildlife all the time. Super vocal and lyric..

Bob, Very neat winter tune. Very good vocals. I read lyrics first and first verses... I though I was reading Shel Silverstein (Please take it as a complement) Clear mix and listens very well. Thank you for sharing. Misha.

Bob, I could have sworn that I replied to this a long time ago.
Hmmmmmm.
Well anyway man this is another classic and I really really love the sound of those guitars. I copied this style to use it myself, this sounds wonderful.
Happy New Year!!!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
