lyrics
Lyrics:
it started west in silence
i don't know the science behind it
i think it started with a dream
but six am
the waves confirmed it from the stand beside us
we reacted with a scream
(chorus)
we built a snow man
a fortress
the neighbors ignored us
but oh they'll be sorry
if they try to fight me
we're sleeping in 'til after ten
'til voices outside beckoned
rode dining trays down empty streets
jumped into drifts from neighbors decks
'til all our clothes had soaked in
hot toddies bottled in the heat
(chorus)
we built a snow man
a fortress
the neighbors ignored us
but oh they'll be sorry
if they try to fight me
we met the friends that weren't busy
the rest heard of stories
of how we all reclaimed
the world on that snow day
(bridge)
we're seeing things we've never seen
Rachel finally asked out Sebby
we built a fire in the street
(chorus)
we built a snow man
a fortress
the neighbors ignored us
but oh they'll be sorry
if they try to fight me
we met the friends that weren't busy
the rest heard of stories
of how we all reclaimed
the world on that snow day
and when the sun went down on us
we gathered in silence
to pray that they all freeze
these streets so we can relive
out this dream
Effervescent pop without a drop of irony, perfectly geared for fans of the more dance-oriented side of indie music and Tears for Fears. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 2, 2023
Spacious, psych-tinged indie rock from Philly; painting in blurry watercolors (but not without percussive headiness). Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 16, 2016
