Snowman

about

Fresh from the US Folk Radio Charts with her recent single “Too Many Churches” (# 3 September 2022) Sofia Talvik is now back with her yearly Christmas single.

“Snowman” could almost be considered a follow up on the theme as this predatory ghost is lurking in the shadows. Is it a figment of imagination or a real person? “Snowman” follows in Sofia Talvik’s more than 10 year long tradition of releasing Christmas songs that lean towards a darker side of Christmas, this time addressing issues such as domestic abuse in a metaphorical way.

With a jazzy acoustic guitar, lush cello, a driving beat and crystal clear vocals “Snowman” takes a step away from the acoustic folk/Americana that we know so well from Sofia Talvik, and gears more towards a pop jazz note.

lyrics

Snowman what are you doing
Snowman where are you going
What are you doing here

When it is dark outside how can you see
When it is warm inside how can you be
Snowman in the garden no one can see you but me

Eyes shining black like pieces of coal
Fangs gleaming sharp like those of a ghoul
Snowman in the garden you think that no one will see
Snowman in the garden what do you want from me

Snowman what are you doing
Snowman where are you going
What are you doing here

My friends all laugh
They think you’re a joke
They don’t feel the bones that you broke
Snowman in my bedroom
Why can’t you let me be
Snowman in my bedroom
What do you want from me

Snowman what are you doing
Snowman where are you going
What are you doing here

And I’m running running running running
And you running running running running
