From the recording Get Out of My Head EP1
Snow doesn't fall too often, and certainly very rarely in April in Europe. When it does fall it does not usually stay for long. This song is about such a special event, and an opportunity missed, not seen, or not taken - and that once over it will not return, and as time goes by you can no longer see or imagine it. Instead it rains..... Take the opportunity when it comes is the message in the song.

Lyrics
Snow fell one night in the spring.
Whiteness covered almost everything
There was beauty and sunshine, the perfect day.
But hiding what was real - it would never stay
But at the time it felt that it had always been there
Thought it would stay for ever hanging in the air
Like a glacier frozen for a thousand years.
But it melted fast with many hot tears
In the end it stayed for no time at all.
I didn’t see it melting as soon as it would fall
It was disappearing completely without a trace.
Soon all was forgotten. I couldn’t picture your face
After the snow came the rain and the sun.
Time passed. Soon summer was gone
The autumn and winter came, the weather turned cold.
Many years passed and the young became old
But still I think back to what might have been
If the April snow had stayed with its silvery sheen
It never fell again, for me it just rained instead
And I wonder will you ever get out of my head
Get out of my head
