Men of Snow

With the beautiful snow melting away (not that we had that much this year anyways), it's fitting to be listening to Ingrid Michaelson's song "Men of Snow", one of the best and saddest songs ever written about a snowman.

It reminds me of the Christmas film "The Snowman". You can watch a clip of the film here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR1Ln-ctn5E

Ingrid Michaelson's song is magical and yet very sad. It's all about snowmen melt, and how we, like snowmen, will melt one day as well.

Here's her breathtaking lyrics:
Once, I made a man all out of snow.
He had the darkest eyes and a button nose.
I told him all my sadness and my fear,
And he just listened with a snowy ear.

But when I came around the next day,
My friend had gone and melted all away.
I saw his eyes lying on the ground,
And I made a sound that was something like crying.

Oh, one day you will go away from this.
Oh, one day you will know we're men of snow.
We melt
One day.

Winters come, my love, the winters go,
And time stacks up in piles like winter snow,
And everything you love and hold so dear --
It won't really matter when we disappear.

Oh, one day you will go away from this.
Oh, one day you will know we're men of snow.
We melt
One day.
