Hi All, Here's something folky and mellow for my last song of the year. This is called Looks Like Snow. Saw a red fox run by the wood shed today The morning light made his coat look gray He caught my eye as he went below As if to say it looks like snow Heard the wind last night blow through the eves Rattle the pines and bend all the trees The river runs but it’s running low The weather guy says it looks like snow 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 You moved in the spring with the fields still brown The lights went dark all over our town Yeah the light and the dark like partners in crime Keep the days and the nights frozen in time Saw a message this morning 5:02am I wrote you back but didn’t press send The moon is still up and the fox laying low I’ll come back later cause it looks like snow Na, na, na, na, na, na, na BIAB Tracks: 0700: Bass, Electric, PopHalfNotes Ev 085 3912: Guitar, Nylon, Rhythm Ev16 085 3697: Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm, Ballad Ev 085 RealDrums: Mallets and Cajon As always - thanks for listening!

Bob, this is beautiful! Very evocative lyrics...I got a bit of a chill while listening. Those BiaB tracks sound very natural and you sing it with real feeling. Great tune, thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas! Ron

Bob,
You are one of the best lyricists I've ever had a chance to listen to. You're a word magician, my friend. Just marvelous. And I like that you have brought your vocal a little more forward than you typically do. I'd type more, but I'm all out of superlatives. I could listen to your stuff forever.
Merry Christmas,
Alan

Mellow folk are my kind o' folk. AND you always write such wonderful songs with them in mind. Only a special song composed and recorded by a special talent could be presented so stripped of all the glitter. Extraordinary lyrics paint the picture that goes so well with this wonderful tune, Bob. Merry Christmas to you, and now I await your first song of '24.

Quality Song Writing.
Might be your best ever. And That is Saying a Lot.
Quality Production.
Just the Right Band. Like y'all have been doing this for decades.
Quality Vocal.
You make it sound like these thoughts just naturally flow from your brain as you play the guitar.
This is a real gem.

Very well put together and VERY well written. I do a lot of 15 track BIB/Studio One walls of sound but sometimes less is really more and this song proves it. I loved it.

I like that it's stripped down, Bob.
There's a lot depending on the lyric here and it works well.
One thing I was wanting to hear was a couple of bars of reflective instrumental break between 1st. and 2nd. verses.
Another good one.
Vic

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your song Robert. The simple musical arrangement and thoughtful choice of instrumentation provide the perfect backing
for your vocal, and allow the lyrics to come right to the fore.
As for the lyrics themselves, I feel as though I'm there with you as you're describing those scenes. It's clear that the lyrics are what you wanted the listener to
focus on and you definitely succeeded with me. They are vivid and engaging. In fact, they compelled me to play the song twice.

I love the production, it sounds like you're sitting around making music with a bunch of buddies. It all sounds so natural. And, needless to say, how effortless the lyrics sound. Perfect ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

Bob, your best to date IMHO.
Outstanding vocal with the perfect backing band, i.e. less is more.
The mix is perfect.
I could see John Prine doing this one, only not as good as the way you did it.
Loved it.
When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?"
