Snowfall
Genre: Dreamgaze Country & Chamber Soul. Tempo: 118 BPM. Vocal: Sole, central. Low, husky, intimately breathy female lead. Delivery: controlled, melancholic, soulful. Stacked, high-lonesome harmonies lift the chorus. Close-mic intimacy throughout. Instrumentation: Guitars: Electric 12-string providing a shimmering, crystalline drone. Fingerpicked acoustic guitar as the warm, rhythmic heart. Occasional melancholic pedal steel guitar flourishes. Rhythm Section: Deep, melodic and warm bassline. Simple, steady drum pulse with brushwork on snares and muted kick. Keys/Texture: Wurlitzer piano for body. Minimal, atmospheric string quartet (violin, viola, cello) for emotional swell. The song must begin with the core, hypnotic pattern already established by the second bar. Suggested start: Bar 1 - a solitary, resonant Wurlitzer chord and the breathy vocal. Bar 2 - the full, gentle but firm groove enters (drums, bass, 12-string drone).

Lyrics
Verse 1
Snowflakes in a dance keep whirling all night long
And with them I'd so gladly whirl along
The outskirts are snowed in, the pathways are concealed
By a white cover, every trace is sealed
Chorus
Snow, snow, snow, snow,
White, white, white, white,
The streets and the houses are wrapped in the light.
Snow, snow, snow, snow,
White, white, white, white,
The city is bound by winter’s delight.
Verse 2
The blizzard's been raging for days outside the pane
And the world's in a deep winter sleep again
The frost scattered the last of the passersby
And the quiet streets are all covered to the eye
Bridge
In the snowfall, in spite of the winds that blow
I dance with the snowflakes, spinning in their flow
The snowdrifts grow higher, the silence has a chime
It's like music that plays for me alone this time
Chorus
Snow, snow, snow, snow,
White, white, white, white,
The streets and the houses are wrapped in the light.
Snow, snow, snow, snow,
White, white, white, white,
The city is bound by winter’s delight.
Chorus-outro
Snow, snow, snow, snow,
White, white, white, white,
The streets and the houses are wrapped in the light.
Snow, snow, snow, snow,
White, white, white, white,
The city is bound by winter’s delight.
