Snow Day

Time 3:48 (Instrumental)
Song Story:
I know growing up in a state that gets its fair share of snowfall that I was always glued to the weather reports in the winter checking to see if it was going to snow. As a kid there is nothing like waking up, opening the curtains, and with half open eyes seeing the world around you covered in snow. For this song, during the intro, you can picture a couple of kids slowly waking up in the morning, ready for the school day routine. They stretch, reluctantly get out of bed, preparing to head out for another day of school. That’s when they look out the window and see the snow falling. It’s a Snow Day! All of sudden everything turns to excitement. This is where the song kicks in. There’s snow on the ground, there’s no school… the kids race to put on their clothes and head outside for a day of sledding, snowball fights, making snow angels, building snowmen & snow forts, etc.

After a long day of play, the kids make their way back into the house, grab some food, and maybe sit to watch some TV. They are wore out. This is where the song slows down to reflect on that. Shortly after, it’s ‘lights out’. The kids are back in bed for a good night’s sleep. The ending of the song is like a lullaby being played for the children as they fall asleep. That’s why this song is titled, ‘Snow Day’. -Jake Clayton
